Rumour going around at the time was that fat brown envelope appeared in a FFA persons hand and the state gov staffer was the sacrificial goat....
Wait I don't understand shouldn't this be a bigger story then? How's this only coming out on podcast that gets a couple thousand views
 
I wouldn't think Matt Windley would go around saying these things if they were not true. He was quite specific - without naming names, and he said the only reason he didn't name names is because he didn't want to get sued.

His Dandenong comment was just an example of another way in which grassroots clubs could become A-League clubs. He never said it would happen. Also Dandenong clubs were only used as an example. It's just a way it could happen.

[Clarification: Just referring to MW's comments, not other comments in this thread by others!]

Not saying they are true or not, there is no way I can verify I wasnt there.... As for using the example of a Croatian club and an Albanian club "joining forces"... well that seemed sort of "pre prepared" to me...

BTW, this is in no way an attack on Matt Windley or his Berwick project... I think its a great idea and will be watching with interest....

I just dont think he will be able to mould a franchise out of a suburban club.... happy to watch him try.
 
You think an alleged bribe to an FFA employee by a housing developer is "news"? Oh my sweet sweet boy.... Did you think the Werribee Wembley was "shovel ready" also :)
I reckon one day it'll come out 95% of matches are rigged and we'll realize we wasted sooo much time on here and watching football
 
rumour.... but makes sense considering they wanted a "professional" team on the South Island... Wouldn't make sens to do it ONLY for the handful of matches for OFC pro league.

Plus it gives APL ANOTHER barrier to true pro/rel adding more NZ clubs in...
It wouldn’t be a barrier at all. You’d just add the NZ national league to the NPL conference that sits below the championship.

A-League
Championship
NPL (NSW, NNSW, ACT, VIC, TAS, QLD, SA, WA, NZ) with an NPL champions league for the winners of each NPL conference to playoff for Championship Promotion.
 
marvellous rebuild good on them !
Mind you as a player I sure wouldn't like seeing all these "shadows" whilst I'm playing !
It maybe ok for eggball games but football ? certainly would play on some football players eyes.
I get the design nice feel transparent roof but ?..........
