Zac Anderson signs with Sydney FC

Recky's probably talking budget wise, not cap wise. Come to think of it, the cheque writer at SFC probably doesn't have a budget?

They're set to make a surplus next year.

They're set to make a surplus next year.

On the Bottom Line? Including all marquee costs? Not just a surplus of HAL cap over Hal squad costs?

 

[dibo]

As in the bottom line will be in black ink, not red.

They've massively improved their commercial services so they're extracting much better off-field revenue. They're also running big crowds (18k average). Pretty healthy business trajectory (for a football club).

 

[nearlyyellow]

Well, yes, very healthy, if that's the facts. That's what CCM should be aspiring to. It won't happen to the same extent due to differing demographics of course. And it seems that Peter Storrie may have persuaded MC to open his wallet a little bit to implement some sort of plan, which will come to light eventually, I guess. Interesting times.

Has there been an official statement? Haven't seen anything and Ando looked like he was up for it yesterday and playing for his place.

no offical statement as yet

just over heard it at the pub

tommy is a good source

 

[dibo]

Smells like bullshit to me then.

Smells like bullshit to me then.

Everything that you don't write seems like bullshit to you

 

[dibo]

A lot of what I write is bullshit too.

I just don't trust unsourced gossip; I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[Big Al]

If you go to 442. SFC seemed to be linked to a few squadie backs. So Ando fits the bill.

His days as a starting Mariner from next season are hopefully numbered.

Think he will be one that the new coach gets to make a call on so don't see us offering him anything anytime soon.

 

[soccer mad]

No player bigger than the club.if he goes who gives a shit.

 

[yorkshireman]

According to a fellow 1st team player at the club, Ando is staying with us! Discussion held at Hutch's luncheon.

Things can change when coaches leave.

Things can change when coaches leave.

More to the point, and not to be pedantic , things can change when a new coach is appointed.

 

[Einstein]

Not to be even more pedantic, But Tony is the TD and has not as such been "appointed" officially.

 

[nearlyyellow]

Yeah, I knew that

 

[Spacks]

I hope he goes. He's terrible CB.

 

[mariner72]

he needs a change, we need a good CB next season

 

[Golly]

This

 

[nearlyyellow]

This

Do you mean "This ^ ^ ^ " ? ie. the post above? Yes, I agree, we need a good CB this season. As to Ando, well good luck to him, he was taking up unnecessary salary cap space here imo.

 

[Golly]

No not that

Just saying that I called it in May
