Macarthur FC Thread

He should go work for an online betting dodgy transactions section. A whole new sports related career awaits.

He will pop up on those dodgy pregame bet365 “news” reports soon.

Giving the odds with a little wink at the end.

Remember to bet with your head, not with the over/under yellow cards.

I’m assuming he will have a criminal record after all of this so it might be hard to get a job anywhere really

Yeah its a hard no on signing him or any of the group involved in the racket.

At the very least, he’ll receive a lengthy, multi year ban from playing. At his current age thats his career over (unless he turns into the Mexican Kazuyoshi Miura, in which case somebody should also start enquiring about chemical performance enhancing drugs…)

His credibility is shot to pieces as a player and as a person, and then he may also serve jail time.

No chance, why would MacArthur pay him anything after he trashed the clubs reputation and got a bunch of young players to follow his lead?

I doubt they paid him a cent. This is an easy way to avoid publicly terminating him for breach of contract.

maybe its so he can claim dole money earlier.

Even if they pay him 100k to fuck off, it’s better than his court case dragging out a year and paying him 800k

Clayton Lewis and Kearyn Baccus are hardly young players. They’re both barely professional footballers pretty much playing for Last Chance Saloon FC hence the reason why they were easy marks.

Don’t get me wrong, Davila is a cunt for involving them but they really should’ve known better. They’re hardly a couple of kids trying to make their way in the game.

I’m hearing on the local football grapevine that Campbelltown City Council has pulled it’s sponsorship of MacarthurBet.

I could see MacarthurBet going under in the next three years, and that’s a generous estimate.

During school holidays they held free coaching clinics most days - they filled up extremely quickly and had waitlists etc. There is support for them and they are engaging with the grassroots in the area in a positive way - they just have the same problem that pretty much every A-League club has, getting the bums on seats on match day. Not helped that they (and Western) have come in during probably one of the lowest points in the leagues history when money is generally going out of the game.

The only expansion team to come in a do well was of course WSW - but they came in during the Del Piero season and had a stack of concessions from the FA that helped them establish themselves. Like all clubs now, they have been hit with the harsh reality of keeping a fanbase turning up week after week when the hype and trophies run dry and that hasn’t been going that great for them either.

Depending on the definition of “doing well” the Phoenix are successful.

Good:
WSW
Nix

Time will tell:
Macarthur
WUN
Auckland

RIP:
Gold Coast
Fury

Of that middle 3 it does seem Macarthur are most likely to go, despite WUN being homeless for ages.

The reason why the sponsorship is being pulled is because they’re not.

  • Macathur Rams ( actual local community team ) hates their guts because they’ve been completely ignored from day dot amongst other reasons.
  • MacarthurBet reached out to the Northbridge We-Align-With-Anyone-Who-Gives-Us-Money FC instead of a local community club for their NPL insertion team. Northbridge is about as non-local as you can get. Pretty much why you saw a shit cunt like Lachie Rose playing NPL2 one day & A League the next.
  • Marcarthur Rams at a local function for their clubs said the following and I quote " Be sure to support our local team, the Western Sydney Wanderers )

Page 274 onwards as to why the council told MacarhurBet to fuck off.

That’s 2.5 million dollars gone for them over 5 years.

I can’t blame them for this. Northbridge was NPL1 (the alternative was starting in NPL4). And the Rams weren’t going to let them have free rein of the NPL program.

should have just started a team from scratch if they wanted free reign

they also waited for an active support crew to form, trademarked the name and completely took it over, stifling their active support and then proceeded to price away support out of attending games, despite the fact that they could have put focus into actually developing local rivalries

Could have so easily aligned with Macarthur Rams, but they just gave an well established local club the middle finger.

Rams > Bulls.

We should re-establish the yearly pre-season friendly with the Rams, play it at Camobelltown Stadium, get Campbelltown Council on board, create some trophy, and have it named after a Macarthur based legend like Brett Emerton, and advertise it as the REAL Macarthur team.

All proceeds from the match to go towards Macarthur Rams replacing the Bulls.

What the fuck is MacarthurBet?
