Someone should give him the The Aboriginal Soccer Tribe book by John Maynard. That’ll cement him in for sure. Not to mention that Charles Perkins found acceptance in football ( captain & coach of Pan Hellenic ) & no where else back in the day.

In addition to the above immediate sanction, Sydney United has also been issued with several suspended sanctions. These include further fines, significant point deductions in the NPL NSW competition (up to 40 points deducted per sanction) and a suspended participation ban from the Australia Cup in 2023, 2024 and 2025. These suspended sanctions will be triggered if Sydney United 58 FC fails to comply with specific requirements over the next three years. These include:

  • compulsory education and training to counter racism, discrimination, anti-Semitic and other faith-based hatred for the Sydney United 58 FC’s Board, Executive administrators, players, support staff, volunteers, and fan group leaders

Kevin Muscat wins the J-League.

As much as I hate him, congratulations to him. It’s good to see Aussie managers doing well overseas.

Nailed on for Rangers, no?

I have no love for Muscat at all but it is clear he’s going to be coaching the NT one day. Ditto Popovic.
