Jovan Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 1 hour ago, jw1739 said: Who do they have coming out of contract? Keogh has already re-signed for a further season. If Fornaroli joins them presumably he'll be a marquee, so the cap won't come into play but both marquee places will have been taken (Castro and Fornaroli). They may find it difficult to keep everyone happy. I tend to agree. And before we get the cap is going soon line, I can't see it happening soon. The expansion clubs are going to want to want to keep it, at a minimum for a couple seasons at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it will be removed until the League is independent and has reached its intended size of somewhere between 12 and 16 clubs, and a decision made as to whether clubs located outside Australia should continue to participate. I think the League will need to have been "stable" for 3-4 years before the cap is removed completely. There are so many changes required if and as the league expands. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playmaker Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Apparently he still has skinfold issues, so expect him to underperform and score 30 goals next season. This bitter taste just gets stronger and stronger. It's going to be difficult to get over this one. This club is a joke. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're assuming that the line managers above Joyce at Bundoora care. They clearly don't, otherwise they would have fixed it within a few days of the spat starting. 57 minutes ago, thisphantomfortress said: Yea this one is pretty irredeemable.

We also know that all forms of protest at AAMI Park are either banned or will be quickly shut down by security - and we have already seen how the club stepped in to censor what was broadcast during at least two matches.

IMO if the current administration was going to take any notice of "memberships" and attendances, then they would have taken action to arrest the decline already. If they were concerned about the number of departures of senior players from the club because of fall-outs with Joyce then they would have taken action over Joyce months ago. At this stage I'm hopeful that perhaps the change in CEO will show a different approach by City into the future. Perhaps the detailed injury report and the information about the forthcoming departure of Dylan Pierias are signs of change and a preparedness to engage with supporters - I hope so.

I do have a sneaking suspicion that Fornaroli probably tried to force his way out to Sydney FC in the off season and may have looked for a way to get himself out of the club mid season. But regardless, will be gutting to see him in an outfit that isn't ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A player that has a good relationship with his team mates, coach and club generally and is being looked after pay wise is most likely to stay with the club. If any one or more of those factors is not right, then yes they'll probably try and angle for a move out. From what I've read Bruno was liked by the playing group, Bratts and Jamo saying as much. Jamo came out saying that he hoped Bruno and Wazza could sit down and resolve things. So far we've seen this issue as one of Wazza vs Bruno but that might be too simplistic. Wazza may be carrying the can for the club as a whole and portraying it as a fitness/ attitude thing. So it would be then portrayed as Bruno not doing the right thing and letting the club down. But it may also be that Bruno was getting signals from Munn and Marwood that they were going to play hard ball with his marquee status - i.e. drop his wages. Remember his contract expires at the end of this season and he probably tried to start a conversation with the club about a new contract at the beginning of the season. He may have also had an offer from Sydney and he put that on the table to Munn and Marwood as a prompt to move discussions along. To which they responded in a negative way, from Bruno's perspective, which then careered out of control and lead to Wazza reading the riot act to Bruno asking him to concentrate on his on field stuff rather than off field 'distractions.' From then on it appears that nobody was going to back down. Anyway, I reckon there are a few angles on this issue, not just the fitness/attitude stuff that Wazza has talked about.
