As in the diseases not herself.

Doubt it, Labour's already copping enough flak for the Townsville stadium promise

My memory is hazy on this but I think the council and the QR wanted it to go ahead but there wasn't enough cash about or not enough support or something.

Then, I think, Anna jumped in and said they'd help/pay for it if they were re-elected.

Gee, how surprising a Labor government with no money offering to use taxpayers money to secure votes? Who'd have thought?

There are probably a few that think she actually would have delivered ..... ](*,) ](*,)

Why limit it to a Labor government? Simple enough to say 'gee, how surprising that a politician would jump in offering to use taxpayers money to secure votes'. They're all as bad as each other.

This lol.

But political bias :p

You'd have more luck convincing them to make an even bigger stadium now that Suncorp will be dropping down the size pecking order again when Perth Stadium comes online, than making another smaller stadium.

How are they appealing it??? Unless Bratten signed a contract that said 'pay is optional' I dont see how they can stop him.

"Your honor, the player signed a contract with us. He cannot breech that contract. We would also like to move a motion that we can breech the contract and not pay him, but he has to stay. We rest our case."

There's another article around, saying the Bakries want to hang around for another 2 years, guess Buggalugs hasn't seen that one yet.

I believe Brattan used the late Super as the trigger. I'm guessing the argument would therefore be a technical one over whether "late Super" is a sufficient breach of Contract to allow a 2-year-tear-up

If they're paying staff, I guess they must still think they can get a Sale.

I'm wondering though where they stand legally if they've been trading insolvent for so long

Mulvey's submission says



That's 15 months, during which time they've taken on more debt. Who'd be responsible, Dobson or Owners ?

Bakries appear to be blaming Dobson, but not filing any criminal charges against him.
Dobson is keeping his mouth shut (allegedly signed a non-disclosure agreement when he left).
A lot of supporters seem quite happy to put the blame on Dobson - despite the Bakries stretching the circus out.

No worries though, strongest financial position ever, so I'm told by my learned colleague.

Imagine the financial chaos in the pre-Bakries era...

Pfffffft, cash flow issues.

"Cash flow issues"

Im very over this whole situation. Its moving from funny to sad. Fuck the Bakries and their mouthpiece Fong.

With Brattan leaving, we would definitely be below the cap floor.

Does anyone know if Brattan go anyone lined up yet? I wonder if he playing both sides really, see if he can get an international offer which he should and be trying to go overseas or if that fails he can still always come back.

I be surprise if mulvey thing will go anywhere given that it was all verbal.

But so sick of this, i think its a good time to introduce a 2nd brisbane team to get rid of the weaklings that want to jump ship.

Thought he was getting a gig @ a Bundesliga team?

That would be good, the only thing that was really concrete was Brighton probably going back a year. He won two champions with the roar (well 3 really), what more can he do with the roar. It is better to happen now rather than latter. I know he wanted to get a transfer fee for the club but you can't wait out if your not being payed.

I know the feeling. I'm generally against foreign ownership in principle because it questions what do they know about Australian football and how it is run and whether they have the desire to enhance the club and as a consequence the game in Australia.

Many of us stood quietly waiting, giving the Barkries the benefit of the doubt and now this. However we must not forget that under their regime we have been the must successful club in the land, setting records and certainly responsible for being the best in playing a brand of football no one has been able to match to date. They were also responsible in providing the structure to supporting Ange who had resurrecting his coaching career as a result and who had since grown to better things with the NT.

Take away the cash flow issues and it will be virtually business as usual. Brattan hasn't left yet and the wheels have not fallen off either by a long shot. However we have lost trust in the Barkries. It is now clear the foreigners do not have any interest to resurrect or progress the club further and it's time for them to depart as soon as possible.

"Take away with cash flow issues and it will be virtually business as usual"...

"Let South Melbourne Hellas take their place without spending one marketing dollar".
