FWIW, heard both these rumours tonight. Apparently Miron will take over as Roar coach.

Put the two together, that would suggest a breakaway from the FFA, led by the big fat miners $$$$. Which could explain why Frank Lowy's not saying much these days?

Anyway, FWIW! Heard it from two different people, who supposedly heard it from very well-connected sources.

Im pretty sure the purpose of the licencing agreement was to ensure that teams can not just 'walk away' from the FFA, and go and set up some other comp. Who knows what is happening at PG, but lets hope it ends well.
