according to a FC Basel fanzine/forum Scott is in with talks with Victory. When his contract ends this year ''he should make the move''.Dont no much else about it though a few years ago he was in talks with a-league clubs. check it out:http://www.fcbforum.ch/ and http://www.ravens.ch/.

This would be fucking epic

Bit old for the Victory methinks. I thought he said he was ending his career in Europe?

FFFFFFUUUUUUUUU

Will bust a nut if true.

He's been in talks with A-League clubs before and nothing came of it. I also remember recently reading and interview with him where he stated he was happy to live with his family in Switzerland and has no desire to play in the A-league, he also mentioned how he does not like the way meadia here treat the sports stars, so I 'll believe it when I see it.

Yeah I remember that. He was all "Look at how everyone bags out John Aloisi, a legend of the Australian game. I don't want to be subject to that".

I can't blame him to be honest. Aussie's just like to put others down.

I thought he was taking up a coaching role at Basel anyway?

Cool

Lol GL Melbourne Victory.

lol.

Someone on the Victory forum did a bit of digging.

The rumour was from 2008, originating from the 442 rumour mill.

Link specific news or stfu pls.

i cant find the link off google so you gonna have to search the website, sorry.

Last time he was in the illawarra (Recently) he said that he would finish his career with basel and stay there to coach and live with his swiss wife. The only way he would play in the a league would be with a south coast based team but that never eventuated so he stayed swiss.

fair enough switzerland is one of the best places to live\:d/

If you have seen a picture of his wife you will understand why he wants to stay in Switzerland :lol:

=p~

If you had seen said information you would be able to provide a link. You can't, so this needs to be filed in the "full of shit" section of the forums.

i dont hink there is a "full of shit" section of the forum unless your talking bout performance;) anyway i looked at this info a few weeks ago thats why i couldnt find the link again, sorry.

every thread you start you always end up being proven wrong

true, more reasearch i think.

Don't see it happening. He has a Swiss missus adn i think is set up pretty comfortable over there.

Indeed, that's more recent news (relative terms). Though I can't be bothered to source it right now, I recall that with his latest contract renewal/extension, he was offered a coaching gig with the club, post playing career.

And I recall being quite excited by the idea, as he would be a trailblazer, the first exported young Aussie with a coaching set up with a half decent club in a half decent league. We've had guys like Postecoglou and Nick Theo' have very brief stints in Greece's lower leagues, but that was the best of it I think.

So maybe Chippers could start a trend there, that hopefully guys like Poppa, Moore and others follow. And maybe one of them could end up down the track being our first Aussie to coach the Socceroos since Arnold, come circa 2022, hehe.
