+xPerth. But I hope they don't get $25m for it. would be tough for the APL to ask for cut price on an established club and compete with their own other sale item being a non existent club you have to start from scratch

This OP is classic, luv his work lol..... bohemia it was no diff to when AL/Lowy started mind you, some paid more some paid less, there was no standard Franchise price just depended on the demographic and desperation adding a new Franchise. To big business $25M isn't alot in the big picture trouble is what do they see ahead for the ROI. Can't see much unless Townsend is the amazing who can sell ice to the eskimos, he probably will look great IF one or 2 sell but surely at bargain price.

And some didnt pay anything at all :) They were just a better option than an already existing "EFFNIK SOKKAH" club.....

With the inception of the aleague owners were told not to expect an ROI within first 5 years. But things will get better after that. 16 years on and things are probably worse. And the enthusiasm for purchasing a licence is even worse than 2004-05..

Maybe Man Utd, but only due to relentless asset stripping from the Glazers, and look where's it got them: a once proud club hasn't won a title in more than a decade. Practically every other owner would rather chase glory than see their toy turn a profit. The most they hope for is increased on-sale value from someone willing to pay even more money to play with the toy.

OK, so all you need to be a profitable football club is to have 10x the turnover of every other club in your league bar one. Not really a realistic model for A-League owners.

Go back to the pre-Covid financial year 2018-19 and it's still a sizable 27.1m pounds. These are all established "Big 6" clubs. They almost always run at a loss. Any club trying to catch up with them (e.g. Newcastle) will have to run at an even bigger loss. Occasionally a smaller club will post a nominal yearly profit due to a transfer windfall, but as sure as night follows day that will be eaten up the following year as they spend the money on new players to try to keep with the pack. Football is a loss-making endeavour. Some American owners have tried to prove otherwise, but they usually end up sending the clubs they own into terminal decline.

Manchester City's Annual Reports show an even better regularity of profitability. Their possible flaunting of FFP rules is another matter. The answers obviously didn't fit your agenda. No one is arguing that, in general, football clubs are profitable they aren't.

Tottenham managed to profit for a couple of years by being a shrewdly managed net-seller under Pochettino. Now they have much worse squad management, massive loan repayments on the stadium to make and are regularly posting losses. And this is the Premier League, where clubs are gifted an ungodly sum from global broadcasting contracts. The situation in other leagues is much, much worse. Real Madrid only avoided bankruptcy due to corrupt land deals with local government. Barcelona has only done so by selling off a chunk of future revenue to private equity.

Manchester City's accounts are audited. They reflect a true and fair view of its situation. If they didn't they would be qualified. To suggest otherwise is a slur on the accounting profession. 6 years is not a couple. There is no gifting re the broadcasting deals. It is an entitlement. The deals reflect market value. 'Real Madrid closed the 2021/22 financial year with a profit of €13 million, after taxes and minority interests, while closing the 2022/2023 financial year with a profit of €12 million." Barcelona " Barça has started the ascent with a net profit of 97.6 million euros in 2021/2022, signaling brighter days ahead."

Of course, you wouldn't pay the same to have a team within the Sydney market, as you would say a team on the Central Coast. You would think Perth would be the first to find a buyer but would not surprise me if it was Auckland either.

I think It will be a Tana/Football bid for glory is on the cards
But for perth to success in the new APL Era it needs more games in WA we have been short of games and high on price just does have same ROI as it once did
Putting a Joondalup could be a good thing as it would benefits the ecosystem as whole (would have suggested Cockburn but my hatered of The Gate fuels my hatered of the region)

@ numklpkgulftumch can you maybe set up a more topical POLL.... "How many Franchises will be up for sale by the time round one kicks off this year?"

Clearly Tony Raciti doesn't want to fund this all himself cause he knows the costs are quite significant. I applaud the strategy moving forward "shares in club model" but let's face it, APIA isn't a well supported club. Good luck to them nevertheless

Would say Perth has the best opportunity but that requires vision the APL or the kinds of investors they appeal to

Southend United have been docked 10 points by the National League following a High Court decision to grant a final 42-day deadline to the club to avoid being wound up.
Owner Ron Martin said the sale of the club to an unnamed Australian buyer should be finalised next month..
.
.
.
On the sale of the club, a statement said: "Negotiations are at an advanced stage with a consortium led by an Australian national, and comprising of a group of local businessmen. Completion is targeted before 1 October.".
.
.
.
but Martin is now "confident" the interest from Australia will prove concrete and secure the Shrimpers' future. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/66591344

Mariners members just received this email, thought others may find it of interest in regards to finances/membership/prize money etc.
Dear Mariners Community, August is my fifteenth month at the helm of the greatest club in the A-League. It has already been one of the most rewarding, but challenging, professional journeys of my life. Firstly, I’d like to start this message by thanking and congratulating everyone who played a part in securing our Championship victory. This of course includes the players and coaching staff, but also the office team, sponsors, stakeholders, and most importantly, our loyal fans. Your support, both at the stadium and watching from afar, created an incredibly powerful “12th man” on Grand Final day, and I know it gave the team a massive boost. I think we are all still pinching ourselves at the final result. I had every confidence in Monty, Serg and the playing squad, but even my most ambitious wishes didn’t go as far as a 6-1 final scoreline! I’ve lost count of the exact number, but it’s safe to say I’ve watched the full match replay at least 15 times, probably more (and I still get goosebumps). I’m sure I’m not alone there! It’s worth reminding ourselves this was achieved on a club budget that’s a third the size of the bigger clubs, and half of most other clubs in the league. We also had the youngest squad and more academy graduates playing week in and week out than any other club. So again, please accept my sincerest and deepest ‘thank you’ for rallying behind us and getting us to the trophy podium. With the Championship trophy secured at Mariners HQ for the next year, the entire Mariners staff immediately turned their focus to the 2023/24 campaign. Monty, Serg, Simmo, Shaun and the entire team have been hard at work, basically starting the day after the Grand Final! I’m sure you have seen some of our recent transfer announcements, including Nectar, Sam, Anthony, James and Beni heading to Europe and Jason to India. We’re extremely happy to see these guys take the next step in their careers, and we look forward to watching them seize their opportunities and hopefully secure full Socceroo selection. In the other direction, our announcements of Jing Reec, Noah Smith and Alou Kuol re-joining the Mariners family, and Mikael Doka putting on the yellow & navy, are all outstanding results for our club. I can’t wait to see these take the field next season. We will have more announcements coming soon! Other than to say ‘thank you’, the purpose of this message is to once again seek your support in our 2023/24 membership campaign. Shaun, Dan and our entire team have worked hard to re-engineer our membership structure this season, with the goal of making it more accessible to more Mariners fans, including those who love the club from afar. The importance of the membership drive to our club is twofold. Firstly, as I said earlier, the power of the “12th Man” is immense, and every additional Mariners fan around the globe adds further strength to this. Secondly, the long-term financial security memberships give to the club are vital. Like most A-League clubs, we ran at approximately a three million dollar loss for the season just completed. The new membership structure should, over time, play a big part in helping reduce this to a more manageable level. This investment last season was worth every cent, partly because we are Champions, but also because much of this was invested in facilities and strategies for long term success. On the topic of club finances, there’s a bit of a misconception floating around football circles that winning the Championship means a financial return for the club. Candidly, it doesn’t at all. There is no prize money for winning the A-League Championship. In fact, the entire finals campaign has a net financial effect on the club of approximately a $100k+ loss. By finishing second in the regular season, we qualified for the AFC Cup, which is extremely exciting. However, it too comes at a large financial outlay. Unless we make it to the final, our current forecast predicts it’ll create a further $350k+ loss. Finally, although the recent transfer fees have been great, after paying all mandatory amounts to involved parties and governing bodies (everyone has their hand out, trust me), the net result to the club is much, much less than reported in the media. The transfers and Championship win do give us great stories to tell potential sponsors and business partners, and we have taken active steps to employ additional, high-quality talent to drive this area of the business. But again, this is an additional overhead initially and it will take time to generate a return. It’s important for members to know that the club is investing in important off field roles in these commercial departments, purely aimed to grow the club for the long term. I don’t share this to complain, it’s more from a place of honesty and transparency as Chairman of your beloved club. I’m more privileged and honoured than ever to hold this position, I just need your continued help and support to keep this club heading towards our desired position of long-term financial stability. So, my plea is simple, and the first part is easy; Our team plays exciting football and we’re poised for another great season, so please, re-join the Mariners family by purchasing a $3 a month annual membership for this season. We also need an average of 10,000 people attending every match and cheering on the squad, so please also purchase your season tickets if you’re able to attend. The second part is equally as vital; please reach out to everyone you know and encourage them to join our Champions community. A-League matches can be watched from anywhere in the country, and indeed from pretty much anywhere in the world too. Let’s work together to get as many fans as we can on board to share in this experience. As I said, a membership can be purchased for $3 per month. It might not sound like much, but if every one of our current 5,000 members could get 4 family or friends to join too, the numbers add up. It is my mission to create a sustainable and thriving football community on the Central Coast. As always, thank you for your time and for your continued support. I look forward to watching our Champions lift the trophy again in a year’s time. Yours faithfully, Rich Peil

but Martin is now "confident" the interest from Australia will prove concrete and secure the Shrimpers' future. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/66591344 Justin Rees is the Australian leading a consortium to buy Southend United, the Echo understands.
Mr Rees is listed as the co-founder of Eighty20 Solutions on his LinkedIn page having studied at the University of Technology in Sydney.
Mr Rees has previously worked for Liquid Capital Group Derivatives Trading where he was a trainee trader before becoming program manager at Westpac.
Mr Rees was then also program manager at Transport for NSW before setting up Eighty20 Solutions in March 2018.
He has since stepped away from the company and has his sights sets on the Shrimpers, heading up a consortium made up of local businessmen.
Mr Rees has met with members of Blues staff and has also spoken to MP Anna Firth.

serial Tyre-kicker ? Not quite sure what the difference is between Adelaide and Perth I thought Adelaide was targeted in part because of also being in on the Basketball team. May 13, 2022 | Adelaide Lightning news
Adelaide Lightning has been purchased by the Pelligra Group with a long-term view of investment, both on and off the basketball court.
Chairman of the Pelligra Group, Ross Pelligra stated “As entrepreneurs, we view Adelaide as a city, not a small town, we are here to invest to make sure we are building champions”.
The sale creates a new chapter of Bruce Spangler’s legacy, who ensured the Lightning remained on the court with his generous donation and investment over a long period.
Both Mr Spangler and Mr Pelligra shared their passion for creating opportunities for people to prosper in physical health, in particular women in sport.
The stable of team sports owned by the Pelligra Group now stands at three with Adelaide Lightning joining the Adelaide Giants, pending the purchase of Adelaide Adrenaline. Ross Pelligra made no secret there are other Adelaide teams on their radar. https://wnbl.basketball/adelaide/news/pelligra-group-invests-in-adelaide-lightnings-long-term-future/It can only be a cheap price, otherwise why not take Newcastle ?

+xIt can only be a cheap price, otherwise why not take Newcastle ? WA state government said to be willing to chip in $7 million over four years to aid the buyer of the stricken outfit https://www.ftbl.com.au/news/property-gurus-plan-to-bring-glory-days-back-to-perth-599628 This must be bullshit. Or someone really is shafting Sage July 22 A state government spokeswoman said it was a major supporter of the world game, the grassroots football community and the A-League team. “We have had a long history of supporting Perth Glory, both as promoters of the team and through direct financial support,” she said. “The state government has an obligation to manage taxpayers’ money responsibly, and therefore cannot provide further funds without clear evidence it is in the public interest.”

Don't get bogged down with the truth mate, as long as Danny keeps moving his lips, the equity value on the licenses doesn't drop below a certain level. "Coming weeks" could be anything from 2 weeks to 15 months....... unless the crowds dont flock to the grounds this year............

+xI've read that article a number of times and I still haven't found where it says they will announce anything in 15 weeks. Earmarking their two target cities after analysing 13 possible locations for expansion, competition administrators the Australian Professional Leagues (APL) have set a soft target of June to finalise the awarding of licenses to operate a new Canberra and Auckland franchise with the intention for both to have a 12-month preparation to enter a 14-team, 26-round, home-and-away A-League Men season in 2024-25. Article published mid March --- adds up :)

Clearly it's taking a little longer than June but hopefully it will all be sorted in the near future. The more pro teams, the better.

"soft target" doesn't mean "shovel ready" :P Personally I still think he is full of shit and "coming weeks" is really code for ..... "we are desperately trying to get somebody, anybody to at least give us a couple of mil for these things" but anyway.... For all of you Aleaguers sakes, I hope whatever they bring in as an owner doesnt destroy what you already have....

Yep, just the same as 22 weeks later Is a few weeks difference between when the teams are announce really a big deal? They're still on course for a 24-25 kick-off and that's really the only important thing. DT didn't prevaricate when Joey Lynch asked him about whether owners were in place and whether the target price had been met, so it sounds like being a done deal at this point.

Facts are this :- - APL has at least 3 licenses for Sale, plus it wants to sell 4 more in the next 10 months
- Someone for some reason told a journo at the West Austtralian that there were 'dozens of potential buyers' and they published
- Pelligra for some reason decides to go public with his first offer
- Townsend for some reason goes to the media claiming they've got at least 3 buyers
So, You've got - A market with no-one buying (how long has NJ been up for grabs)
- ONE known interested Buyer using the surplus to beat down the price (he's already pulled the pin when AU asked too much)
- A Salesman claiming there is a shortage

+xAgain it was a soft target, it's not as if they said "We will definitely have buyers for our two expansion teams by June". Thats pretty much what he is saying now, would you agree? When pressed if this announcement was regarding ownership groups coming in, Townsend responded with a simple "correct." It was a one-word answer he reprised when asked if that meant the APL was in the final stages of negotiations with preferred parties, for both licences, and if the leagues asking price -- $AU25 million each -- had been met.

"What we are looking at from an APL standpoint is how we centralise some of the resources and tools that we can give those clubs to be more proactive on player monetisation. It's a difficult thing to resource properly."

+xit takes time to sort through dozens and dozens of applicants. I honestly can't see how anyone could look at an A League clubs and think it was worth gambling on. And then I say this having been an A League supporter since season 1. 25 million is an absolute fantasy, an APL fever dream.

The CEO of NZ Football, JJ's equivalent, was the the one talking about it.

So the AFL announces their match schedule on the morning of one of our biggest Socceroos games in recent history and the APL is waiting for "clean air" to announce the only positive news that could possibly help get everyone off their backs for 15 mins??? hahahahaah

Why would they leak it now. There is little upside in it being lost in the other codes noise. If it gets announced in the lead up to the ALW start that the next year the ALW team in Canberra will have an ALM it becomes good news in the shadow of the WWC. Then it gets followed by a Socceroos match and the start of the ALM. Sounds like a very good reason to not leak.

Well the upside for the APL is at least they have experience in a professional sporting environment I suppose..... Hope this works out for our Aleague friends.... I wonder who will "announce" their news first APL with new franchise or FA with the NST clubs... either way the timing on this will be very very interesting.

New Zealand Breakers minority owner Marc Mitchell is understood to be at the centre of the consortium seeking to back a new Auckland A-Leagues club. Multiple football sources have indicated the Mitchell-led consortium is in advanced discussions with Australian Professional Leagues, the body that runs A-League Men and A-League Women, and that some form of public announcement is imminent. https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/football/a-league/132887010/breakers-minority-owner-marc-mitchell-at-centre-of-auckland-aleagues-bid

In what might just be one of sport’s biggest surprises of the year, a former All Black has been confirmed as a bidder for the new Auckland A-League football franchise. Ali Williams is leading a local consortium trying to secure the new expansion licence for the team, which will join the trans-Tasman football competition in October 24. These days a property developer, Williams' bid is also thought to involve the Mowbray family, best known for their mega-success with the Zuru toys brand. Local football identities are also tipped to be on board.

Billionaire Premier League owner Bill Foley now favoured for Auckland A-Leagues clubThe new Auckland A-Leagues club could be part of a multi-club ownership strategy driven by an American billionaire who is chair of AFC Bournemouth in the English Premier League and a significant player in the local wine industry. Bill Foley, 78, is understood to be exploring adding a football club to his existing business interests in New Zealand. He has become Australian Professional Leagues' preferred bidder for the expansion rights within the past fortnight, according to two sources with knowledge of the situation. https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/football/a-league/133012152/billionaire-premier-league-owner-bill-foley-now-favoured-for-auckland-aleagues-club

Foley, 78, is the managing general partner of Black Knight Football Club, a partnership that bought EPL club AFC Bournemouth late last year and also holds a minority stake in French Ligue 1 club FC Lorient. The new Auckland club, which will play in A-League Men and A-League Women, will form part of a multi-club strategy, with Foley actively exploring other investment opportunities in Europe.

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-67280027BBC Scotland has learned the billionaire owner of Bournemouth is looking to buy a stake in Hibs. American businessman Bill Foley took control of the English Premier League side last year. It is understood he has wanted to invest in the Edinburgh club for months and has held initial talks with a view to making a non-controlling investment.

I’ve been hearing Canberra is far from a done deal… There have no news stories or “leaks”. Literally fark all in several months. I highly doubt it eventuates. Only thing ive seen reported is the revolving list of supposed interested parties for Auckland. Makes you wonder why the first ones mentioned no longer seemed to be in the running.

Sage still claiming ownership of Glory somehow ?
https://www.watoday.com.au/national/western-australia/ex-perth-glory-boss-tony-sage-s-company-hit-with-wind-up-bid-as-club-sale-looms-20231010-p5eb4o.html
The company of Perth businessman Tony Sage, which still counts embattled A-Leagues club Perth Glory among its key assets, has been hit with a wind-up application as the club’s sale looms.
A bid to have liquidators appointed to Sage’s company Okewood Pty Ltd was launched late on Monday, according to Supreme Court documents obtained by WAtoday.
It’s not yet clear how the proposed wind-up bid could affect the proposed sale of the club, which could be finalised in a matter of weeks, but it is understood the receivership process would take priority.At the time it was revealed APL had been bankrolling the club’s player and staff wages via secured loans for five months. And a receiver’s report lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission in August and obtained by this masthead reveals it did so to the tune of $4.4 million, making it the entity’s second-largest creditor behind Okewood itself – which is said to have loaned the club $33 million.

If Ross Pelligra has really been outbid by his mate Robert, maybe Korda Mentha can keep him interested long enough Remember they could've probably have sold the Jets to 777, but MV were so deep in the shit the APL got 777 to bail them out instead.

+xWhy didn't they buy it from Sage ? WA govt chucking a heap in now, but told Sage they're not into that ? Sage said long Covid lockdowns and onerous travel restrictions tipped him over the edge, whilst welcoming the WA State government commitment to provide $7 million of support over the next five years to Glory, once the ownership issue is finally resolved. “I just wish they’d shown that courtesy to me but it never happened until the licence was handed back (to the APL who will continue to fund the club until a buyer is found). https://www.ftbl.com.au/news/its-a-travesty-sage-laments-collapse-of-perth-glory-sale-602341

So to answer the poll:
1. Perth (done deal)
2. Auckland (to be announced soon, with ownership already public knowledge)
3. Canberra (behind the eight-ball, probably still need to scrabble around to find enough start-up capital)
4. Newcastle (nothing but crickets)

Newy an existing franchise, are today entering the market to be sold via receivers KordaMentha, according to Shane Mattiske, on Reddit. Was it not for sale beforehand? Mattiske went to the Gallop/ Townsend school of bullshitting

Mattiske went to the Gallop/ Townsend school of bullshitting Previously they were for sale in the same way that all clubs are for sale. There wasn't a 'for sale' sign out the front, but it but if the right offer came along they would sell. The difference now is that there is an official 'for sale' sign out the front and they are actively engaged in a formal process to sell the club. Semantics, but hopefully it leads to Newy finally having good owners, or at least owners willing to spend.

The Jets' licence is one of six the A-League have been trying to sell in 2023, with the Glory's sale being shopped alongside an expansion process that aims to grow the league to 16 clubs by 2025-26. Sounds like a buyers market to me ...... Havent heard much about the $25 mill expected price lately, maybe they are hoping they get more if they go to auction?

Because they give all their money to the AFL and the Giants, and ultimately any Canberra A-League team will be tenants of the ACT Government, they need to know how much they can rort.

"It is understood more than half a dozen bids were received, but receivers have remained coy about the details of the deal and how much Sage is likely to recoup.
The APL has previously claimed licenses issued for its expansion into Auckland and Canberra could go for up to $25 million.
But sources close to the deal have suggested the club would need a sustainable, well-funded entity to take the helm, with an up-front payment and ongoing multimillion-dollar investment required.
Meanwhile, a bid to have liquidators appointed to Sage’s company Okewood Pty Ltd by creditor Kakka Enterprises is continuing on the basis the company is allegedly insolvent.
The entity, which lists businessman Kenneth Keogh as its director, is purported to have a small stake in the club.
Sage is also still contesting allegations of tax evasion levelled by the tax office, the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission and the Australian Federal Police.

Perth Glory can confirm that the club’s potential new owners, the Prime Land group-led consortium, were unable to satisfy certain conditions precedent to the sale transaction and the conditional sale agreement has subsequently been terminated by the Receivers, KordaMentha. KordaMentha are continuing to work closely with the Australian Professional Leagues (APL) and will re-engage with other interested parties to secure a buyer for the club.
Glory CEO Anthony Radich is confident that the resumption of the sale process will yield a positive outcome.
“Although this news is disappointing, this development is completely out of our control as a club,” he said.
“While not being privy to the exact details behind KordaMentha’s decision, we have complete confidence in their handling of the sale process and trust that they and APL have acted and continue to act, in the very best interests of the club.
“We are heartened by the fact that multiple bidders expressed their interest in buying the club during the sale process and remain optimistic that a new prospective purchaser will identified in the near future.
“We would like to thank our Members, fans, corporates, players and staff for their continued support throughout this sales process period.”

Sounds like one of them firey Greek effniks Former Wests Tigers chairman Lee Hagipantelis has terminated his $1 million Brydens Lawyers sponsorship for the NRL club. According to Fox Sports, Hagipantelis delivered the news in a scathing two-page letter to the club. The pulled sponsorship comes after Hagipantelis was unexpectedly dismissed in December 2023 as West Tigers Chairman, which he held for four years, following a shocking internal review. His exit cast doubt over the future of the Tigers’ relationship with major sponsor Brydens Lawyers given Hagipantelis is the firm’s principal. In his scathing letter, which was obtained by News Corp, Hagipantelis slammed the review process as a “sham,” took aim at new CEO Shane Richardson and sensationally referred to key stakeholders as “cowards.” “…I find it most distasteful to contemplate the continuation of a relationship with Wests Tigers while these persons remain involved,” Hagipantelis wrote in his letter.

Sure, we might get 10,000+ at the first game, but I worry that if success isn't immediate, it will drop pretty quickly. Some might say that's the people, others might say it's the poor infrastructure around for the stadium (including the stadium itself, but that's mostly due to location) that the local government refuses to address.

What a bunch of soft cock wankers they are there Pending success, I think you'll find Canberra will actually get a downturn mid season over the summer, as everyone decides to fuck off towards the coast for weekends - That's probably going to be the biggest factor in crowd downturn. Will be A-Leagues first "inland" team, won't it?

I think there is a bit truth across everything here re band wagoners in sport period. Winners are grinners and that’s aussies a lot - the rugbys in their heydays were supported well there on the downs they disappear. Thats winter as we mentioned - summer forget it. They are dreaming but in a way hope they get their license money one day for it will fail and another black spot against that league.

Given the shitty drug laws that have passed, maybe a free ticket when you buy 2 grams of coke. +x+xthey might get good crowds giving out freebies to the many young unemployed down there NCB.

Speaking of Canberra... Sorry it's paywalled. https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/8662884/canberra-pushes-for-big-bash-team-with-manuka-oval-upgrades/What an actual fuckwit - oops, I just ate my own poop.... Has been putting off any development to stadiums for Canberra's only 2 full time football teams (which would also help pave the way for a third), all for 3 games for fuckwit his fuckwit Giants mates.
