NewConvert Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Just had a look in Transfermarkt estimated value for Portsmouth who are top of the table for League 1. Their squad of 30 players is estimated t be almost $Aus19M. Substantially more than A-league clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also have more money than any other league by quite a way and it filters down to Championship and league 1. Our league is pretty poor, even by Asian standards, the Thai league probably has a higher squad spend than Australian clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 The EPL and its clubs know how to market themselves, that's for sure. The English clubs are not themselves always successful on the world stage(!), and neither is their national team(!). But in terms of marketing I reckon they lead the field by a country mile.

jw1739 Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 (edited) Ranking of Leagues is an interesting discussion. I looked at a couple - we're round about 40-50 and I was surprised at that. Different factors are used in different assessments. One had us above the K-League, the J1-League and the SPL @NewConvert I guess it's a matter of how it's calculated. The "average club" in L1 or SPL might well be like us, but I'd be surprised if Portsmouth, Derby County, Rangers and Celtic didn't give us a shellacking. But...you never know in football, and we only put that to the test in the AFC competitions. These do, in my mind, bring our ranking into question. I wonder why the hell CFG can't organise at least some inter-CFG club matches every season...not as if they can't afford it.

moops Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 (edited) Atkinson starting for the Socceroos for the first time. McGree, Behich and Bos also start. Tilio get's 7 minutes and creates a good chance. Edited January 23 by moops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 By my count, 8 current/ex City players featured for the national team last night: - Atkinson - Behich - McGree - Bos - Metcalfe - O'Neill - Tilio - Fornaroli  Pretty crazy, especially when you consider Maclaren and Leckie aren't in the squad either.  2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are by far the best club for players through the academy or just playing for us then getting national team caps! There would be no other A-League club that comes close to this output...

A good chance for the lad to be playing in the Bundesliga next season It's likely, but they faded from the promotion spots towards the end of the season. They replaced their coach and have only lost a handful of games since. They also look to have recruited well in the transfer window, so, here's hoping.
