GCU will see out this season with or without Palmer.[/QUOTE]
Are you saying that the following scenario is impossible?
Clive keeps the license, but refuses to field a team in one fo the games as a protest, knowing they'll strip him of the license...
Clive Palmer ? @CliveFPalmer
Our licence is being rekoved by Frank Lowy and FFA cohorts .. I will issue detailed response shortly
FFA to run the club until a new buyer is found or it goes the way of Fury (rumours of relocating team to Western Sydney have been floating around), but game will go ahead this weekend and GCU will see out this season.
Actually GCU for the rest of the season does not seem such a certainty:

FFA terminates Palmer licence]FFA�s priority now is to explore all options to field a Gold Coast team for the remaining four matches of its season. This would avoid any impact on the standing of the remaining nine clubs and be the fairest outcome for the competition, clubs, players and fans.
Mr Lowy appealed to the football community, including owners of the other nine clubs, to use whatever influence possible to encourage Mr Palmer to allow a smooth and fair outcome to the season.
�FFA will exhaust every practical option to have Gold Coast finish the season,� he said.
FFA CEO Ben Buckley said all practical steps to enable a Gold Coast team to complete the season would be explored, including:
� Talking directly with Gold Coast players to encourage them to enter into arrangements with FFA to play the final four games of the season.
� FFA to pay the players for appearing in these games.
� Possible postponement of Sunday�s scheduled match between Gold Coast and Wellington Phoenix.
�If we need extra time to put in place the necessary arrangements then we will consider postponing the match,� he said.
