After all that drama, this is it

Hah who was the fool at the APL who thought that was a problem?

If that is really the original design, I don’t see the problem. I strongly suspect it is not, though, and they had to make changes for it to pass scrutiny.

Which would very much suggest that the ā€œWe are Melbourneā€ part was not what was objected to.

I think they did it to stop them from embarrassing themselves.

Failed.

IMO, for a new and small and somewhat inconsistent active, it’s a decent effort. But if they hadn’t gone public before the negotiation(?) with the APL was done, they wouldn’t have raised expectations so high. They really built it up. Adding to that, they’ve probably burnt bridges with the ā€œcocaine sniffersā€ comment. Obviously, stand up for yourself. It’s just that a bit of tact occasionally can go a long way.

My guess would be the APL overturned their decision (if they did) almost simultaneously to the active’s statement. Otherwise, they made a last second alteration, because of artwork that was actually denied, not the words (Because they’re, you know, right there.).

You have to remember that the thing about Melbourne is that it’s a shit hole

Wow!

We all knew he was moving on but surprising they say ā€œaway from the Isuzu Ute A-Leagueā€, the rumour was Auckland.

Was always in the works. Nice at least it was amicable from what it sounds. I’m guessing he’s going to Saudi Arabia, India or potentially linking up with Kewel in Japan

I’m thinking, India?

That’s what I reckon!

Very funny that after copping criticism and having a subpar season he tucks his tail between his legs and goes to India. That’ll teach em Jamie

I had a poor season now I’m going to tuck it between my legs and run off to a league where I’ll make 2-3 times my current contract and many multiples than the average person boo hoo those people in the internet were right what a loser D: D: D:

Manchester City*

  • And straight back out on loan somewhere

Yeah he had a poor season, but he’s not exactly tucking it between his legs… His contract is over, he’s chosen not to re-sign as he’s received offers overseas. I mean you could say the same thing about players leaving us…
