New Owners?

[RedRebel]

Do you reckon AU’s owners sit around and watch highlights of old Reds matches on YouTube?
Perhaps they should.

The guy who was going to buy Adelaide United but then decided to purchase Catania in Sicily has now become the new Perth Glory owner.

Perth Glory have finally landed a new owner, with property developer Ross Pelligra setting big goals for the A-Leagues club.

Did I hear right that he only paid a $1 for the licence ?

A sad reflection on the state of the league if true.

Seems to be.
I don't know if you saw this article.
We seem to be in a mess again.

Professional Footballers Australia, the players’ union, has gone public with concerns about the direction of the A-Leagues and the management of the domestic competitions by operator APL, shattering the private protocols usually obeyed by football’s key stakeholders.

A team from Canberra and another from Auckland when Newcastle and Perth were ownerless? Madness. Perth now have an owner of course but the league is fragile apart from Sydney Victory and City. WU is a debacle really and MacArthur what is that even?

They get $25m for each new licence so Auckland is cash money and presumably Canberra will be too.

WU and Macarthur were created at the suggestion/request of Fox who then bailed on the comp so I think that hung the APL out to dry a bit.
