Where is numkel@#$@#$ from the other forum to create a countdown timer? lol

That was a really open and honest interview. So he has set up a new entity to compete in the Championship, and this is to protect the club. Seems like a good way of doing it and minimising risk. Are other clubs doing this? As he's the sole owner, does that make it like a franchise?
Sydney Olympic FC: resilient, rebuilding and ready for the Australian Championship
Sydney Olympic Football Club, one of Australia’s most historic football institutions, is entering a new and exciting era. From its proud beginnings as a Greek-backed powerhouse in the former National Soccer League to its current battles in the NPL NSW, the club is now preparing to join the newly…www.sbs.com.au

This is a very grk football reality.. a pro club which is seperate from the club foundation body (non or semi pro) and above that the overarching wallet of a millionaire who supports and controls it all like a puppet master...

More secretive than the CIA this mob!Football Australia in flux amid more staff exits
Chief football officer Ernie Merrick has become the latest high-profile figure to depart Football Australia as the organisation experiences further upheaval following the exit of former chief executive James Johnson.www.espn.com.au
"ESPN also sent questions to Football Australia regarding policies and procedures involved in board governance and conflicts of interest, the status of its request for proposal process for new second-tier competition, The Championship, and broadcast plans for when the competition launches in October. The organisation declined to respond."
That being said, good riddance to ‘ol Ernie.
The lights are on but nobody's home it seems....
Said once and I’ll say it again, thank god for the Australia cup
