+x+x+x+x+x+xIts so sad to read things like this as an Australian football fan....... Well done to Ross, Vince and Marko but how they dont have the opportunity to do something like that here in Australia is such a shame.... While I get what ou are saying let's be honest. No amount of P&R here would stop a few Italo-Australian guys from wanting to try this venture in Italy Mate, absolutely nothing but respect for the guys involved in this and yeah I get the appeal... Its not JUST the P&R aspect mate, thats just one of things wrong with football in Australia.... From accounts Ross has also bought an Adealide Baseball club and wanted to (maybe still will) buy Adelaide United and a basketball club with the aim of making a European style sporting identity -- problem is with all the franchised, closed shop restriction he cant.... When he was involved in the Hellas bid, he has gong to go ALL In, liked that we where an existing club, had a home stadium he could help "improve" existing fanbase, great history etc etc.... The guys is a sports nut apparently and saw past the "but Hellas is a Greek" club malarky. If he had met the criteria, especially c ough up a good sum of money / license fee, FFA would have snapped Hellas up. Well at least many here tell us that it's only the money FA are interested in. It appears he didn't go all out at all- contrary to what you imply. OK.... now your just spouting shit Paulie... Hey Con, license fees offered by other clubs were way more than what Hellas offered despite his "A ll in"...............LOL Hey Paulie... still around you fraud? What do you say about Ross Pelligra buying Perth for $1 ..... Now that INDEED is all in eh....

Grella has now sacked his second coach this season. After being promoted as their Serie D regional champions last year, they are languishing in playoff contention (14th at the moment, 4 points off playoff positions) in their Serie C league this year. Of note, promotion playoffs at this level in Italy are an absolute shitfight. 4 clubs get promoted each season (the three league winners, as there are 3 regionalised leagues) and the winner of the playoff final. However, the top 10 do have a shot at playoffs - alongside the Serie C Coppa Italia winners: a cup competition held between the Serie C clubs that do not enter/qualify the actual Coppa Italia, provided they also aren't in the relegation zone. Catania is actually in the final of this cup competition, so winning that means that they still make the promotion playoffs. Absolute shit fight of a playoff system: First Round (playoffs within league)- 5 v 10, 6 v 9, 7 v 8 across all 3 leagues - single leg with no extra time (draw = highest ranked team progresses)
Second Round (playoffs within league)- 4th place in each league enters the playoffs, and faces the lowest ranked winner from the first round, with the other 2 winners facing eachother - single leg with no extra time (draw = highest ranked team progresses)
Third Round (open playoffs)
- 3x 3rd placed teams + Coppa Italia Serie C winner + 6x playoff winners from the Second Round then playoff in a random draw - two legged playoffs decided on aggregate.
Quarter Finals onwards (open playoffs)- 3x 2nd placed teams + 5x playoff winners from the Third Round then playoff in a random draw - two legged playoffs decided on aggregate.
- Then semi-finals (two-legged)
- Then final. Winner of this is promoted to Serie B (two-legged)

That sounds awful... At least a club has some sort of mechanism to get promoted though not this bullshit super league closed off APL garbage.

So, double edged sword for Catania's promotion hopes: They've been performing pretty poorly in the league, and are currently sitting equal on points (ahead on goal difference) of the relegation playoff spots.
However, they did win the "Coppa Italia Serie C" final during the week which, provided they do not finish in the relegation playoff spots (16th-20th), puts them in the promotion playoffs in a position as if they finished in the top 3. If they finish in the relegation playoffs, they forfeit that spot to the 4th placed team in their league. Seemed like once they knew they weren't going to finish in the top half of the league (promotion playoff positions), they focused on the Coppa, but that is not going to bite them in the arse.
Only 3 games left:
Home derby v Messina (13th)
Away to Sorrento (10th)
Home to Benevento (3rd)
Catania is in reach of both 16th and 17th (Monopoli and Turis) whose run home sees them play against:
Monopoli - 6th, 9th, 13th
Turis - 8th, 19th, 20th

Got through a few rounds but failed in quarter finals (or was it semi finals). Great that they won the Serie C cup but their quest to return to Serie A will take just that bit longer

Great that they won the Serie C cup but their quest to return to Serie A will take just that bit longer Yep, knocked out in the quarter finals - which was the last stage of 'no extra time'. So despite the aggregate draw against the team that came 2nd in their league, were knocked out due to being the seeded team (the same rule that saw them progress to the quarter finals).
