Embarrassing

Clive Palmer, billionaire owner of Gold Coast United:

"I don't even like the game.  I think it's a hopeless game.  Rugby league's a much better game."

It seems the FFA don't care who they get their money from... Russian consortiums, Indonesian investors, crooked property developers and, as it turns out, even people who hate the game.

The A League model exemplifies everything that is wrong with the sport IMHO.  I maintain that you need football people owning and running football clubs.
