No admission of fault, where it went wrong, who is to blame, how it was pissed away, how to prevent it from occurring again, whether it's possible to recoup wasted funds, or guarantees of player remuneration. Instead it takes credit for our success in producing socceroos.

I see this quite differently. I think the lower ceiling hurt the Mariners this year. It made 'bigger' clubs scale down and into 'our' market of playing younger players. This stung because all of a sudden the cream of the crop didn't need to go to Adelaide or us. With a higher ceiling, those 'bigger' clubs will go after a more known/higher commodity player. Hopefully this will have the effect of us being a more realistic place for great young players to come if they want playing time. Interested in what other think.

Stopping themselves from wasting money.

To be fair to CFG they spend it on the best Aussie youths.

CCM didn't have a seat before so not sure what changes.

Nothing does for us. Just more competition to play youth so will have to go back to polishing gems

Good job Dick didn't gut the academy and it will take years to fix.
Oh, hang on. He did.

I'm not at all knowledgeable about the academy so can you provide some examples of what Peil did to gut the academy? Lucas Vilela is still in charge there right and has been for a few years now correct?

The owners allege they were told by the governing body's then-chief operating officer, Mark Falvo, in 2018 they would have to pay more than $10 million to secure an A-League licence.

The Bulls finally agreed to pay a licence fee of $12 million.

Macarthur would be granted $3.25 million per season in central distributions as part of the club participation agreement, the owners allege.

The Bulls' business plan, which was accepted by FA and attached to the CPA, was on the basis the club would receive $3.25 million per season.

The club was also informed there would be a minimum distribution amount of $1.2 million inserted into their CPA.

Spelling out a purported conversation, the owners allege Macarthur owner Sam Krslovic received confirmation of the higher payment during a December 2018 meeting with FA.

"Just to confirm we'll get the distribution of $3.2 million per season as is related directly to our licence fee of around $12 million," Krslovic said.

“Yes, you’ll receive the distribution of $3.2 million," the FA in-house legal counsel allegedly replied.

Soccer bosses kicked into court over A-League expansion

The owners of Macarthur FC have filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit alleging governing body Football Australia misled them ahead of the club's A-League entry.
