+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.....

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?"

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..

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

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.

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.

There are others.You asked for one and didn't like the answer so how about Tottenham Hotspur or Manchester City?

Hmmmm, Profit, such a outdated philosophical concept to put a price on so much human connection is disrespectful

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

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
