Sydney should get 6 points from the final two matches. I wonder if they'll rest a bunch of players tonight.

Just realised Sydney and Mariners have the bye this weekend, so they could go full strength here if they wanted to.

Isn't this the cup CCM won last year? Ye Piel reckoned that they lost money whilst he owned them.

Yeah it's the same. Perhaps 2.5M doesn't cover all the travel costs for all the fixtures?

 

[LFC]

When Peil took over	$2.35 million per year from the APL
Last season	$2 million per year from the APL
Current season	$530,000 per year from the APL

$7M of his own over 2 seasons.
In their Best Small Club doco I think it was mentioned they needed $8M the season to cover costs.
Lets not forget tax's need to be paid as well.
As a typical well off football tragic he doesn't have the squillians of other ogarlords who can cop loss's due to larger portfolio I guess.
I know I wouldn't risk the dollars in his position.

your kidding right ?
Champs yes just ! the rest, over your season not worth the time travel injuries, pittance.
I'd luv to know their accounting for when I think about the costs for 16+ players, coach assistants, physio over how many games, flights food accom, yer nah.
