did you forget, this is australia. people switch teams all the time down here and theres no consequences for doing so

Yeah thats the fear, but also theres a chance that it could fuel up a new and solid rivalry and we should be hoping for that. It could create a real clash between the North and South of Western Sydney. 

The review of the potential clubs was done by Deloitte's and in their report 17% (2,944) of Wanderers members lived in Macarthur's territory.  I am aware of quite a number of people that intend to switch but the majority aren't intending to switch.

The men running Macarthur FC have fired back at criticism of their progress in building a new club in readiness for the new season. Former Socceroo Robbie Slater had warned the group’s new powerbrokers that “alarm bells are ringing” after key backer Lang Walker sold his 50 per cent stake, the chairman was bumped and the technical director was sacked last week.  The new club will enter the A-League in October, and so far has announced only one signing – former Socceroo Tommy Oar, currently with the Mariners.  But new chairman Gino Marra said the club would welcome Slater to visit their offices and go through their plans, with foundation coach Ante Milicic starting to assemble his inaugural squad for their first campaign.

It’s understood that around 10 players have been signed so far, from Australia and overseas, but will only be identified once their clubs are out of contention for honours or finals.  Marra insisted the club was ahead of some expectations, with a “foundation membership” drive currently halted at 3000 and full memberships to go on sale shortly.

this looks promising

Heard Dennis Genreau will over there, Bulls should go for Rostyn Griffiths as their DM as well. His experience and physical game is important for the new club, even as captain.

SST rumours reporting that Birighitti has signed with them.

Last rumour I heard was that they had made 12 signings so far.

Twitter posts from zenithsem .  If I recall correctly this is the same site that made allegations about Wanderers during their first year and I think was pro Qatar getting the WC instead of Australia.

"Campbelltown Croatia" NEWS - @FFA & @ALeague bosses are opening their eyes with implosion of @mfcbulls under stewardship of "Honest" @Gino_Marra & "Citizen" @SKrslovic .. sackings, walkouts, broken promises, fake sponsors, fake academy owned by others, missed

Foundation Member packs started arriving Friday.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/macarthurfcsupporters/?multi_permalinks=474804863209120&notif_id=1579783128693276&notif_t=feedback_reaction_generic

Continuing there good development, whilst were yet to see them play and much traction they actually get going, what there crowd numbers and memberships are all like, theres been many positives. This foundation package looks like a smart move, selling a one off purchase, get some kits out and about, let the fans promote the team themselves by wearing the colours. 

A lot better then how West United paid a bunch of people to paint there faces green, black and white and say some shitting 'togetherness' and 'united' messages.

Lesson for future could be to allow new franchises 8-12 months ahead of there arrival into the league to develop there franchise to there catchments and regions of fans.

Hope the team will attract enough quality in players, with all the complications of late, so much potential with this team.
Excellent home ground as a major advantage.

Macarthur-ites, now that FFA have stifled your pre-season with an August start up, as opposed to even a July restart, how will the new club go about assembling a squad, playing min 3 trials and finding cohesion?
I know, they will have to postpone your new team's entry, to the following season.

The new season doesn’t start in August. 

Pre season kinda starts around august-September, but assume the usual seasonal start of October may be delayed to mid to late November. Provide a gap between the end of the resumed season and the start of the 20/21, also less cross over for NRL and AFL with A-league for the opening matches, due to the NRL and AFL being delayed and pushed back in the year.

This season restarts in August great guy!
So when do Bulls get their act together?

20-21 won’t start until November at earliest, plenty of time to grab a few mates for Tommy Oar

Nov would be better but it was mentioned about an Oct start to the 2020-21 season cause this is like a long offseason now as it is for Tommy.

Birighitti signed for them? 

Apparently. Reports are that they have signed 13 players so far. 

Mariners CEO has denied that Birighitti has signed/ is set to sign for the Bulls.

Also looks like Dennis Genreau will be leaving Melbourne City and is one of those 13 signed players/

possibly a case of the “CEO being the last to know”? 

Oar , Birragetti, Genreau,Brown ,Zuvella and Grant locked in by all reports

Possibly, you never really know, heard from someone who follows mariners and knows people in the club, that they think no one really knows whats going on. But seems intentions are obviously to survive through this and want to keep some of there key players.

Reports say Birra is close to being locked down, not yet signed on though

Ok... this is sounding promising.

With 13 players signed + a few youth/NPL players + imports would mean they would be able to easily get a full roster.

Apology to @RabiehKrayem from @TheWorldGame & @lewieatlarge over an article in February. (I wonder who the source was for the original story? Surely not a FFA Board member?) https://t.co/Cq8pIfNWCM— Bonita Mersiades (@bonitamersiades) May 12, 2020


"On 24 February 2020, SBS published an article on SBS The World Game website, and SBS The World Game’s Twitter and Facebook accounts, which referred to Mr Rabieh Krayem. Rabieh Krayem complained that the article conveyed a number of false allegations about him. To the extent that any reader understood the article as conveying those allegations, SBS withdraws those statements.

"SBS and Mr Lewis apologise to Mr Rabieh Krayem for any distress caused to him.

the FFA didnt do that, China and the World Health Organisation did.

Turns out the WHO were warning of a global emergency in January do yeah, blame chy-na but then our local dickhead politicians are culpable.
