yer Matt Carroll, good track record mate, he quotes : Carroll continued: “It wasn’t just conversations with potential owners but getting a full understanding of the game. “There was comments at the time – ‘you’re from rugby, you don’t understand our game’. Well, I understand sporting competitions, OK, the shape of the ball might change, the number of people on the field of play, but the key ingredients are pretty much the same...... “I had been at rugby when we built Super Rugby from scratch. I knew what needed to go into it. Your Super Rugby turned into a basket case - the game today is a minnow in comparison to its heydays. All money has stayed with the ARU taj mahal and Wannabees whilst the game below is nothing - some long time legend ex Wallaby's have protested this on air last 15yrs at least here in Sydney. In closing of the article : Parmenter added: “The A-League is the shop front for new football. Positioning it right so it could do that job was probably the most important part of that role. The fact I feel we did, by and large, get that right. That positioning has substantially stood the test of time.” Stood the test of time ffs.
Love Football
