Thats why Id like to know what the actual squad sizes are allowed to be.

The squad sizes for Australian Championship are twenty players minimum and twenty-three players maximum with at least two keepers.

that means we are going to have to cull a few players?

Doubt that will be the case if we've already delisted enough players and our new signings keep us below the player limit but if we do end up with too many players then either some will have to go or they just won't be registered altogether.

We’re a shambles. Andrew and Bill have no business running South but when there’s a lack of suitors what do you expect. Strati couldn’t take the job and Peter Kokotis - the less said the better.

Peter Filopoulos said no, they approached him.

Guess that is what happens when there’s no options. Least we’ve made some quality signings for the championship hopefully they’ll stay on for the NpL season next year

Βρε βρε βρε σαν τα χιόνια... και έλεγα τι θ ακούσω σήμερα!

Those signings come about from the money we didnt have or what was owed others that departed (as we were told)? Im asking for a friend!

Thats 100% the biggest problem... Leo and Nick dragged us kicking and screaming towards being a 12 months of the year football club but there is nobody willing to take the reins and expand further... Everything else aside I think THAT is our biggest challenge moving forward.

We are FAR too big of a club to be run as a community/volunteer operation but also too SMALL of a club to attract the kind of professional football administration to move us forward... Gone are the days of 100% Greek community involvement/backing, gone are the days of being the biggest club in town, we have to decide, as a whole club, what we wanna be moving forward...

Hearing about all these players newcastle and heidelberg have signed who are eligible to play in the cup final shows how much we got screwed last year.

Meh, gives them one less thing to blame us about when they get trounced on the weekend.

Do you guys see a new president and know who they are enough to say "oh no! Not that guy!" or "What a top bloke!" or are they just as mysterious as new a league owners are to most of us

In this case we know them both! Reserving judgement at the moment.

 

[southmelb]

Neither of them impress me but we had to move quickly so it makes sense.

Messourouni needs to keep his nose out of the football side of things and that also means his son needs to move on to a state league club.

Paperstergiadis is the president of the Greek community of Melbourne and i feel like someone with that position shouldnt be involved at such a high level in club land, his position should see him be neutral to all Greek clubs, he probably has contacts but its not like he has used his status to bring more Greeks through the gates.
