Especially so since the 2037 fans who turned up for last weekend’s game at the same venue were subjected to a spectacle as riveting as an Andy Warhol conceptual film from 1964.
My friend, the Brisbane-based football writer Mike Tuckerman, marvellously described the atmosphere in the stands as so remorselessly dull even “the players appeared to be stuck in a permanent state of catatonia”.Hahahahahhahaaaaaaaaaahahahahhahahaaaaa the A league needs 3 more letters added to it........ the deAd League

www.theaustralian.com.au/news/sport/north-queensland-and-gold-coast-could-be-cut-from-a-league-later-this-season/story-e6frg7mf-1225930275684Quote: North Queensland and Gold Coast could be cut from Gay Leaguelater this season * Ray Gatt * From: The Australian * September 28, 2010 12:00AM THERE are fears that two clubs, North Queensland Fury and Gold Coast United, could be gone by the end of the season. The fears have been raised by Professional Footballers Australia chief executive Brendan Schwab. Schwab made the comments in the wake of doubts being raised over the future of Fury after it was revealed yesterday that the club had been ordered not to open contract renewal negotiations with its players. Football Federation Australia, which took control of North Queensland at the end of last season, made the decision, which means the entire 21-man squad, except David Williams (who has a two-year contract), will be free to negotiate with other clubs from October 1. That decision has placed a huge question mark over the future of the embattled expansion club, which was only saved from extinction after the head body came to its rescue following former owner Don Matheson's decision to withdraw his money. A similar contractual situation has developed at another expansion club, Gold Coast United, which is owned by mining billionaire Clive Palmer. The Australian revealed last week United has as many as 14 players from its 21-man roster coming off contract and free to negotiate with other clubs. It has been suggested United's decision not to open negotiations is a sign the club may not be around next season. The latest drama comes days ahead of the possibility the FFA will strip the Sydney Rovers, which is due to enter the competition next season, of its licence for a Western Sydney franchise because it has yet to produce the financial backing it promised. All of this has has placed more pressure on FFA to sort out an Gay Leaguewhich is losing tens of millions of dollars every season and is attracting poor crowds. Schwab said his organisation had been advising players of the seriousness of the situation with Fury and Gold Coast. "Obviously, we are seriously concerned about the prospect of a contraction in the Gay Leagueand have been advising our members it is a real possibility," Schwab told The Australian yesterday. "But this is a matter for the FFA because they made the decision to strategically expand in to these markets two years ago. "One of the clubs (Fury) is owned by the FFA and we trust they still see the merits in their decision, given we are only two years into the experiment." Schwab, who said the PFA has a "very robust" and positive view of the future of the A-League, revealed the PFA has been aware of the situation at Fury and the Gold Coast for several weeks. "The (Fury) players instructed us a few weeks ago about the situation," Schwab said. "The matter needs to be resolved urgently." The FFA issued a short statement last night which read: "We are talking to Fury management to review their roster over the next few weeks as a part of the club's overall strategic development."

ACC threatens to shut down Phoenix By PHIL KITCHIN - The Dominion Post Last updated 05:00 28/09/2010 ACC is poised to take legal action to liquidate the Wellington Phoenix football club, saying it is owed more than $260,000 in unpaid player levies. The club, owned by Terry Serepisos, had repeatedly "promised" to pay the levies and had failed to honour agreed payment plans, the Accident Compensation Corporation confirmed to The Dominion Post. ACC plans to go to court today to liquidate Century City Football, whose sole director is Mr Serepisos. He said last night that he was "shocked" by the legal threat. The matter would not go to court because "we have made arrangements to pay" today, he said. ACC acting chief executive Keith McLea confirmed the legal action earlier yesterday. "Century City Football owes more than $260,000 in unpaid levies to ACC, some of it dating back several years. "They have promised to pay many times but not done so. We have even agreed payment plans with them but these have not been honoured. "Liquidation is the final option and is a step we have not taken lightly. We fully appreciate the potential impact on the Wellington Phoenix football team. "But in the end it's simply not fair that other business levy payers are forced to continue subsidising Century City Football, since injured staff members of Century City Football are still helped by ACC whether or not their employer has paid its levies." Mr Serepisos said he and his lawyer had agreed on a plan with ACC on Friday to pay the levies and "they have not even advised me of this [the move to liquidate]." The amount of levies was "in dispute", he said, and he would fight any legal action. Mr Serepisos called The Dominion Post back to say he had spoken to ACC's lawyer, who had assured him there was a misunderstanding. Mr Serepisos did not think an application would be lodged in the High Court to liquidate Century City Football. "He [Dr McLea] is jumping the gun ... he's got his facts wrong." In a subsequent interview Mr Serepisos said: "The left hand [at ACC] does not know what the right hand is doing. I know it is not going to court." He said the reason the levies dispute had "dragged on" for so many years was because the Phoenix players were insured in Australia and ACC was also charging levies for them in New Zealand. "It's a double-up." Dr McLea's statement said ACC would not comment further from today because the matter would be before the courts. He said ACC had "been more than reasonable over an extended period with Century City Football". "We also need to be consistent with how we would treat any other business so we simply cannot write off this debt." Mr Serepisos has previously said the Phoenix lost $1 million last year, but he was confident of at least breaking even this year. www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/sport/football/4172685/ACC-threatens-to-shut-down-Phoenix |
