A-League Transfers and Rumours

[Big Al]

Hmmm, I would still be having a very close look at WSW’s books, as there’s no way the squad they have is fitting under the celery cap surely?

I would also question the appropriateness of such trading when one person has an ownership stake in both clubs. This sort of sh*t could only happen in the A League honestly.

Similar problems in the NBL. The actual owner of the league has a stake in a MV equivalent but also runs the league and has some small stakes in other clubs. It was necessary to keep the league alive but now is causing issues but his main club is one of the biggest.

Here at least Western and SFC are also part of it but it’s certainly interesting that WSW are picking what they want from Newy. Is Laurie still involved in Newy because he did try stopping this but looks like the new control are certainly taking orders from WSW and the other bosses who are paying their wages

You surely would put your money on georgevski going back to the Jets ?

They’re welcome to him tbh...

Pretty sure Laurie is still there, just being very quiet.

Well he doesn’t have much to crow about of late does he?

Karma is a bitch eh?

No, he's out - he was part of the old company that Martin Lee had - nothing to d owith the new owners

Ugarkovic has some how moved to WSW before end of season, O'Doherty to the Scum.
It's good atm because we don't get to play WS, and we get the Scum twice.
It's bad because the AL manipulation by WS is pretty dog shit

Western Sydney Wanderers chairman Paul Lederer has flatly denied any suggestion he used his position as a part owner of the Newcastle Jets to influence the transfer of key midfielder Steven Ugarkovic on the eve of the A-League finals.

Ugarkovic had already committed to joining the Wanderers next season but will now join their late-season bid for a top-six spot after the Jets agreed to grant him an early release on Friday.

No collusion, just coincidence, like petrol prices. Can the ACCC be called in?

just straight fraud

 

[Ozhammer]

See my post on the You know it’s the A League when thread. Lederer now the chairman of APL and boss of the IAL and just look at the squad they have.

Tell me they are under the celery cap, I dare you.....

Just in case you wanted more evidence that Money FC are exempt from the salary cap

 

[turbo]

I’d expect Maclaren, Noone or Nabbout will make way. If it’s Nabbout we could do a lot worse.

Might also be worth seeing if Galloway is an option to move on to free up cap space. Likely to fall back in behind Atkinson when recovered,

WHAT FKN CAP !

Rudan gone from WU.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Rudan gone from WU.

I've never been so relieve that Staj is still signed on for another season

 

[Tevor]

Rudan gone from WU.

Off to Scum???? Could be a possibility.

 

[Ironbark]

Off to Scum???? Could be a possibility.

Those two deserve each other

 

[jacobsfl]

Mark Rudan season highlights.

 

[marinermick]

Off to Scum???? Could be a possibility.

Arthur Pappas has that coaching role apparently

 

[turbo]

Off to Scum???? Could be a possibility.

I’m sure he’ll get another chance somewhere sooner or later. Seems like he can lay the law down and turn a squad around but the iron fist might get a bit old in season 2.
