Are we there yet? December 1 tomorrow. Other clubs can approach our players?

Kotahitanga. We are one.

I thought it wasn't until January that the window for pinching our players opens?

I'm an optimistic pessimist. 
I'm positive things will go wrong.

Pretty sure Rob said he realises that our players are able to negotiate with other clubs from Dec - pretty sure he said Dec 1 but I'm not 100% sure.

The A-League season finishes in April, so say the players are contracted to the 30th then the 1st of December makes sense as six months before their contract ends.

Ernie has said that they are talking to players about re-signing them, and also talking to new players.

Player contracts all go through to June 30.

Great, so we have a bit of time then.

In related news the FFA's revenue was down $AU13 million to $AU103 million despite a one off $AU4 million boost from the Asian cup, they only just managed to break even.

Shows why they are acting rashly and are in crisis mode.

For the real experience you should also inform him that it was because of something he did on a different website

Nah, because of something someone else did on a different website while he was there. And if he complains, tell him to stop shoving his liberal dribble down our throats and up our wherevers.

Not sure where the different dates some people are posting are coming from but both Rob and Ernie have said that other clubs can start talking to our players as of 1st December.Not sure if thats all players or just those coming off contract but the date mentioned was defiantly 1st of December.

I still weild the power of ban and the right of veto on absolutely everything.  Only Feverish has a greater power of veto but his is matched with the power of meh.

I suspect that Patrick's tech skillz would give him the capability to stage a coup if he so desired.

I would supress the urge to slash my wrists over the injustice of it all, put on a false moustache, sunglasses and then re-join YF under an assumed name.

Probably best to wear some facial prosthetics to beat the face-recognition software too.

Well played NP.  Thanks.

Actually Nik still has the ultimate power but as he's domiciled in the UK currently we like to let Patrick think he ha power.  Assistant to the senior Seamstress you know.

Now if we all wore those, if trouble breaks out we could clearly claim wrongful identification - even the FFA would have to accept that wouldn't they?

But more seriously: I just saw that awful quote from de Bohun where he says that fans on the blacklist will have the opportunity to "prove their innocence". How insanely wrong can you get? You can't prove a negative, it's a logical impossibility, just like no-one can prove Elvis wasn't taken by aliens, or that Hard News didn't do 9/11 personally by ordering a pizza from the wrong phone number.

Is anyone here pissed that it's taken ages to sort out the Licence extension? We heard from Rob that it's been an ongoing process with the FFA all of last season perhaps even longer, we are now a third into this season and still nothing..other clubs will be able to offer contracts from December,  all I want for xmas is 10 more years

Quite clearly a fake letter. You know how? The bottom line. It should read "President, Football Federation Sydney", not what it currently says.

Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

The FFA are probably doing it deliberately so that we lose all our players. Then they can say: "the Nix don't even have any players so we may as well hand their license to the Cronulla Riots..."

Does this December 1 deadline actually mean anything? Given that it's about making an approach rather than actually signing players it seems to rely on the assumption that agents will be completely silent about possible moves outside of that window. Is that remotely true?

The FFA are plain wrong when they CLAIM that they only ban people when they are absolutely SURE that thewy have positively identified them.

Edit the thread title then perhaps? Remove the "Fudge the FFA part"? I thought it was on topic because the FFA's credibility was part of the debate...?
