    I just hope they done their due diligence without rushing getting in new owners, this is always an important step.

    World Cup Qualification Thread for 2026 - Socceroos/Asia

    It was obvious for me that Arnie went for too long, given the accolades he got from Equip after the World Cup he should have left and gotten a higher gig overseas in club football. Instead he stayed for too long, we didn’t get the rejuvenation of the squad we needed plus the football we played...

    Expansion Thread

    With a hard cap it might be a start, I feel the way the aleague clubs have run they tried to run it like a 5 star Michelin restaurant rather than an average restaurant because they haven’t thought about running the league within its own means. Better to spend with you have rather than spend...

    General 2024/5 A League Men's thread

    Football here and rugby league in the UK oddly enough have similar parallels so it’s an interesting development.

    Nothing wrong with a solid restart but under a different structure, whether it’s a risk worth it only they would know.

    Expansion Thread

    I sense the feeling is maybe it’s getting to the stage where we can’t afford to have a professional league if clubs are struggling financially like this It’s a sad reality where these things need money and a lot of it, maybe we could entice more Bill Foley’s to pump money into the league...

    Yep there is too much politics unfortunately in football and sport in general.

    Assuming this is for next year? I don’t know why they binned it in the first place when aleague are moving towards having academy sides.

    Didn’t they cut off their academy a few years ago?

    World Cup Qualification Thread for 2026 - Socceroos/Asia

    To be honest I’m not sure what Popa is going to do, however I just feel with the way Teague played against China it would be harsh to drop him. So based off that either of Triantis or Ballard would suffice, then again it also not surprise me if O’Neill gets the nod so it depends on how the team...

    World Cup Qualification Thread for 2026 - Socceroos/Asia

    Thankfully our centre mid and defensive mid positions have got enough cover. The key is who has the right profile to replace Irvine? O’Neill, Triantis, Ballard look obvious options, could we potentially see someone like Metcalfe or even Nieuwenhof? Right now I would not take Teague out of the...

    A-League Mens 24/25 - Round 28

    Sydney FC did not great out there, I would be surprised if they could get a point against a good Melb City team but I guess in football especially in this crazy league of ours anything can happen lol.

    Australian transfers 25-26 Summer

    Also let’s hope he doesn’t get injured early on, anytime a player moves into the euro leagues they often get injured. I think it’s a factor of having less games, and less intensity played over the summer months which this needs to change as clubs will chase bigger transfer fees now.

    FA's lobbying effort

    A home of football would go along way towards helping the national teams, surprised if hasn’t happened yet given the likes of rugby, cricket and I think hockey have one.

    Australian transfers 25-26 Summer

    800K feels underwhelming but for context Milanovic had one year left on he’s contract so it’s better to get transfer fee now before he goes on a free the following season.

    A-League Mens 24/25 - Round 28

    Teague scored a cracking goal after a nice build up, however the Bulls could have scored an even better goal with Brattan’s clip to Hollman who unluckily hit the bar. After that Victory score to make it 2-0, if there is a story that reflects a clubs season it will be this for the Bulls, they...

    Australian transfers 25-26 Summer

    Regardless of what people feel about the MLS they have got the money to get players over from Europe and South America and sell them for big transfer fees. I’ve seen players move over to bigger leagues in Europe, so hopefully it works out for the better for our players otherwise you have to...

    A-League Mens 24/25 - Round 27 + Round 16

    Brazete disallowed goal looked very harsh, it looked in line with the defender. Again VAR interpretation of the offside rule needs an revamp.

    Pavlešić joining Croatia

    This is a big blow especially with our goal keeping stocks, are there any other prospects we don’t know about? I feel the goal keeping talent isn’t as strong as it used to be.

    Depends what the APL want to do in the future I guess, for me I’ll keep it to 5 players.
