The official all-purpose trolling bogan scum thread

[Ancient Mariner]

And then what happens to CCM in 12 months time after Richard decides that he has not met his self set KPIs and does not follow through with a purchase, especially if he sells a shit load of players to recoup his losses?

Conroy said that today, same applies to Canberra.

As Ancient says we are months away from a similar fate.

CEO n Marketing folk need to lift the crowd n sponsors numbers.

7.5 for the league and what 1 for AFC games when we are defending champions and top of the table is not a good look

 

[FFC Mariner]

I think reports of our death are greatly exaggerated.
This looks like a corporate restructure being rolled out.

I hope so. The A League has been hurt by some extremely dumb decisions since it separated from the FFA.
The patient still appears to be very ill and until it starts to show real signs of recovery I cannot see even the most fanatical football billionaire investing a penny in any sick club.

Seems I'm not the only one that's seen the writing on the wall.

2.2 mill for a cup win would go down nicely.

 

[shipwreck]

Haven't heard dick about off field performances, we have absolutely crushed the on field performances in my opinion

less the cost of overseas travel and hire of Gosford, less US 40K per overseas game....

All it means he will loose a little less if he decides to leave...

Could even be an indication he is making his stake permanent. Doubt MC would support moving on Shaun (if that's what occurred) if Richard is out of the picture shortly.

I don't like the scum, obviously, but don't want to see them fold

Richard had 3 KPI he set for himself.

Crowd average for ALM (which the original KPI of 8000 was based on) is currently 7553. We would need to average about 2000 over that for the last 3 home games to make the 8000.

We have heard good reports from the Corporate side so hopefully that is in track.

$800,000 in transfer fees - that would have been met last season - we'll see later whether this is met this season.

 

[FFC Mariner]

I think the $800k was to cover what he was putting in. Fair enough really.

It doesn't help when APL move the goalposts and decide to take a share of the club pie which is what I have heard. Wanting each club to contribute a significant amount to prop up their pursuit of a second tier comp and a percentage of transfer fees for the same purpose. Something that really hurts the smaller clubs on a tighter budget.

Not sure why APL would be chasing $$ to prop up a second tier comp when the NSD is being operated by FA?

The bigger draw on the prize money is the fact you have to give 5% back as a mandatory donation to go towards charitable endeavors so it's not really 2.2 mill.

Perhaps it was the FA. I'm not deep enough in to know who runs what so apologies for the confusion

So. No new owner in sight. Club doomed.
Carry on.

From what I've read around the place both prospective owners for Canberra and jest want to hear more from the APL about the leagues direction and financial position.

In light of how the APL have been traveling over the last couple years, f**ken ay I would too. Hopefully now that CFG run the league it won't be so rudderless, but thats still TBD.
