+xThe West Melbourne man has been charged with 10 offences. They include - engaging in conduct that corrupts or would corrupt a betting outcome of an event or event contingency (x4),
- facilitating conduct that corrupts or would corrupt a betting outcome of an event or event contingency (x4),
- use of corrupt conduct information for betting purposes and
- attempting to commit an indictable offence.
Danzaki booked twice in the period in Question, managed 10 charges Maybe he tried to get booked at other times ? . Police allege four matches in April and May 2025 were the subject of "player to be carded" wagering manipulation. Sydney (H) on 27th April  Adelaide (H) on 9th May 
LOL, Ref wasn't giving out cards, but the subbed on player managed it Wonder if they interviewed Aloisi about it ? The fraud netted the 25-year-old about $16,000 across three games between April and May and his co-accused - Bayside Argonauts striker Yuta Hirayama - received about $5200.
Danzaki admitted to deliberately receiving yellow cards for reckless tackles on opposition players, including games against Sydney Football Club on April 27 and Adelaide United on May 9.
He and Hirayama discussed placing bets on games both in person and on the LINE messaging app.Hirayama would place bets on Danzaki’s performance, including that Danzaki would receive a yellow card, while knowing he would deliberately try and receive them.
The pair agreed to split the winnings from their bets - 70 per cent for Danzaki and 30 per cent for Hirayama.In a match against Auckland, on May 3, Danzaki tried to get a yellow card twice, by kicking opponents in reckless tackles, but the referee did not give him one.
He was then taken out of the match, but his substituted player received a yellow card so Sportsbet paid out the bet.

+xIf you're not getting paid, how do you pay your own bills One option Two men, including a Western United footballer, will face court for their involvement in an alleged betting scandal surrounding the A-League Men's soccer season. Detectives from the Victoria Police Sporting Integrity Intelligence Unit charged a 24-year-old West Melbourne man and a 27-year-old Kingsville man on Sunday with numerous offences including use of corrupt conduct for betting purposes. Both were bailed to appear at the Melbourne Magistrates Court on July 31. While the individuals are yet to be publicly named, it is understood one of the men is a player at Western United and the other is a state leagues player. The Australian Professional Leagues, who run the A-League competitions, confirmed a player had been charged. "The Australian Professional Leagues is aware that one A-League player has been charged by Victorian Police with offences related to gambling," a spokesperson said. Former A-League player blames $16k fraud on late payFormer A-League club Western United’s “significant financial strain” led a player to commit betting fraud by recklessly tackling the opposition to receive yellow cards, his lawyer claims.
Ex-midfielder Riku Danzaki pleaded guilty to seven charges at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday over a betting fraud he committed with a friend who played in an amateur soccer club.

So, WU are rolling the dice on their Appeal and refusing to let anyone leave. I guess paying the wages 2 days early might get some brownie pints at the FA/First Instance Board ? But still being overdue on the Super would've made for a stiff start to proceedings Western United bosses have paid wages early this month and have also shelled out money for overdue superannuation payments as they attempt to prevent players from leaving the embattled Victorian club. . . Player and staff wages were also late on three successive occasions from April to June before being paid on time last month. This month’s pay, due this Friday, is understood have already been paid, and the club is also believed to now be up to date with superannuation money that was owing. As a result, players bidding to leave United cannot use potential breaches of their contract as a way to get out of their deals. It’s understood some players have asked United officials to be released from their contracts but have been refused.

+xShame about the Rebels. Would have been a nice earner for Western in a leasing arrangement. Spoke to an insider at a dinner last night. They have already started renting out the venue for certain things. Had a national gridiron championship there a couple of weekends ago with 1000 people in attendance, and are looking to sign an agreement with school sport Australia to use the ground on an ongoing basis for their high end matches. Its a revenue stream no other club has. It might not move the needle just yet but its a smart play. Sad about Western United

New signing Jaiden Kucharski and captain Ben Garuccio unable to play for Western United due to FIFA registration banWestern United could lose recent signing Jaiden Kucharski before he plays a competitive game for the club due to a registration ban that will prevent him and club captain Ben Garuccio from playing in an Australia Cup round-of-32 clash against Sydney FC on Tuesday night.
United announced the signing of ex-Sky Blues attacker Kucharski earlier this month despite knowing that he could not be registered due to an ongoing FIFA ban stemming from a unresolved financial dispute involving the club’s former striker Aleksandar Prijovic.
he ban also applies to left-back Garuccio, as he didn’t re-sign with United until after he had become a free agent, meaning he needs to be re-registered.
As a result, the pair can’t play against the Sydneysiders at Ironbark Fields, and Football Australia is also investigating whether United breached the ban by fielding Kucharski in a friendly game last week against NPL Victoria club Oakleigh Cannons.
The club’s proposed new ownership structure, which was announced in May and involves KAM Melbourne, a subsidiary of American company KAM Sports buying a $100m controlling stake in the club and its parent company Western Melbourne Group, is yet to be approved by the Australian Professional Leagues, which runs the A-League.
The lengthy delay for approval is understood to be because the APL is yet to receive KAM Melbourne’s completed ownership proposal. link

Industrial action a possibility if Western United fails to pay players on time for fourth successive month
Western United players may consider strike action if the embattled A-League club is late in paying them for a fourth successive month.
Despite the players having been assured by the club they will be paid on Tuesday, this month’s pay day, they are ready to take action – with the backing of Professional Footballers Australia – should the “trust” be broken.
“The club has assured the players that this month’s wages will be paid on time and in full, and we trust that the club will keep its word in this respect,” a PFA spokesman said.“It would be extremely disappointing if this turns out not to be the case and the players are left, once again, to fight for their most basic employment entitlement.
”Such is United’s financial state that players haven’t been paid on time for the past three months, leading to the PFA lodging breach of contract notices with the club.
On each of the three occasions, players and staff were paid within a 14-day deadline given by PFA to pay or run the risk of losing contracted players to other clubs.
However, should wages again be late, the deadline could be limited to just two days, which if not met could lead to not only industrial action but also a demand that sporting sanctions be placed on United.

Hahahahhahaha Quartet of James Donachie, Kane Vidmar, Riku Danzaki and Ramy Najjarine have also departed the Club at the conclusion of their contracts.
“On behalf of everyone at Western United, I would like to thank each player for their major contributions to a significant time for our Club,”

AFL agent turned soccer boss’ legal and tax troubles threaten Western United rescue deal Former top AFL player agent turned A-League boss Jason Sourasis is fighting a series of business battles that could scupper a rescue deal for his financially embattled club Western United, which has been late paying player wages again. The Age can reveal that Sourasis has been hit with a near $3 million personal tax bill via a director penalty notice from the ATO for unpaid taxes across six of his businesses, including the companies underpinning the A-League finalists.

KAM Sports LLC was set up in Las Vegas for the Multi-club venture (echoes of 777 ?)

From the first real estate investment, we have always tried to find value where others have not - identifying compelling assets and leveraging our methodical, proven approach to realize the investment's full potential.
We are proud that our commitment to capturing value also translates to the communities themselves, whether it's bringing a fresh set of eyes to expand established properties or taking on projects in areas that others may have passed over.
In real estate, as in sports, nothing happens overnight.
It takes a consistent, focused, and long-term view in order to achieve the vision.
Our investment in sports properties reflects the same approach we have taken for our entire portfolio, regardless of size or brand awareness: identify assets we believe have high upside, make the necessary investments, and then operate them with a disciplined and strategic perspective to drive sustained success.
As athletes and avid fans ourselves, we understand the special responsibility we have as owners and stewards of sporting properties, and we look forward to working tirelessly on behalf of the fans to achieve success.

January 2022Greek Shipwreck. Panetolikos F.C.
The Announcement of new owners then disappearance of KAM
Of particular interest, however, is the response of the major shareholder of the Agrinio team, regarding the team's administration and the negotiations with the Kaminski family, which, as everything shows, led to a final shipwreck.
For now, you won't miss me from Greek football.
There are things missing from the agreement with the buyers.
They haven't shown any signs of life for over 4 weeks, so I feel like this case ends here
https://www.agriniopress.gr/kostoylas-gia-kaminski-niotho-pos-ayti-i-ypothesi-teleionei-edo/when approached by Sporza said ‘We don’t want to talk about it. Not just with you, but with nobody’.

The Kaminski's Football History in no particular order June 2023US investor Maciek Kaminski buys Belgium’s KV Kortrijk from Vincent Tanhttps://www.insideworldfootball.com/2023/06/13/us-investor-maciek-kaminski-buys-belgiums-kv-kortrijk-vincent-tan/July 2023Tan backs off from sale of KV Kortrijk after Kaminski Group misses first paymenthttps://www.insideworldfootball.com/2023/07/09/tan-backs-off-sale-kv-kortrijk-kaminski-group-misses-first-payment/ Even after a press conference in which the owners were presented to the media and fans, Kortrijk will remain in the hands of Tan despite his desire to sell.
The group presented Tan with a bank guarantee for the transfer of the money, yet sources from within the club told Sporza that they believe that this was in fact a forgery.
Those within the club have also labeled the father and son as cheaters and scammers because of how they went about the whole affair.

+x+x+x+x+x+xShame about the Rebels. Would have been a nice earner for Western in a leasing arrangement. Spoke to an insider at a dinner last night.

It’s a revenue stream no other club has. It might not move the needle just yet but it’s Westera smart play. Are Western United able to rent out the ground? I thought it was owned by Wyndham Council. It is. Western United are a tenant just like the thousands of other clubs that play out of council owned venues. That being said, depending on their contract with the council, it is possible WU are able to rent out the facilities, albeit unlikely. It's more likely that the council are able to rent out the facility when WU are not using it. https://www.wyndham.vic.gov.au/sport-and-recreation-casual-ground-app So it’s a revenue stream for the council not Western United. Mind you if the hiring fees quoted are the same for a league games it would be the cheapest ground hire of all clubs, I would think. If we are talking about A-League clubs, then certainly. However, it's not really a like-for-like comparison. It's a training pitch with one small stand, temp seats and basic facilities. It's not a stadium. It's a bit like saying a small one-bedroom flat in a shitty suburb is cheaper to rent than a massive house in a nice suburb. Hahahah its not even in a suburb :P

Fairly certain (can't source it easily) that - WU are Head Tenants for the 2 grass pitches, so can sublet those
- The 3rd pitch is Artificial and available for Community Hire
I thought it was only the one main grass pitch they where head tennant but could be wrong.

+x+x+x+x Melbourne Rebels to share Tarneit with Western United as part of consortium rescue plan  "The deal would include the Rebels playing games at the recently opened 5000 capacity Regional Football Facility and then at the 15,000 capacity stadium which is anticipated to be ready for the 2026-27 A-League season and the 2027 Rugby World Cup." Interesting that they think the proper stadium will be ready in two years. Now that there's going to be another sport playing there, of course it will be ready in two years. or maybe not
