@Dan54 three clubs in one year. Championship isn't looking very viable moving forward.
On the plus side, that's one less nation pillaging Aus and NZ talent. Part of me thinks fuck them, for overpaying and going broke.
They spent 900000 pounds per year on Adam Coleman, yeah some poor financials in there!

@Machpants it can't have been that much? Maybe dollars. It was reported that Arnold earning 1.5m dollars in Japan made him the highest paid Aussie. 800 pounds is about the same no?
