Wouldn’t be too many at Gateshead, Mansfield or Tamworth who recently played in the knock-out phase of a World Cup against Messi…
Went within a couple of CM of taking Argentina to extra time too…
I still sometimes think of what may have been had he put that chance away

And a less happy for him in the northern derby vs Lille this last weekend.
48 seconds into that video, an absolute shocker. He’s A-League ready!
Wasn’t great
Some interesting stuff in here. Doesn’t look great overall. And no Canberra yet. Interesting they seem to be taking a sensible rather than growth approach.
Expecting a bigger tv deal. But a reduced distribution next year.
Simplification of the salary cap sounds good, but I don’t like some of the things removed, the loyalty allowance is a nice feature. Spend as percentage of revenue seems ripe for abuse. I look forward to welcoming our new sponsors, Barlow property investments.

PFA has apparently said they don’t agree so here we go!
I think a rationalisation is necessary, but a hard cap is fucking stupid.
Most significantly, losing the exceptions for home grown players risks seriously jeopardising the player development pathways by introducing tensions between competitiveness and retaining talented players.
If it’s a struggle to retain your players until you can sell them, or of is cheaper to simply poach twenty year olds (because of cap pressure) than develop them, then the value proposition of the whole academy quickly falls away.
Its an ACL sadly
Bailey Wright into the ACL2 final. Too soon?
