Problem for Arnold is he's probably talked himself out of a job in Australia after taking everything that wasn't nailed down at the Mariners.

Outcome of independent Disciplinary Committee hearing
The independent FFA Disciplinary Committee today handed down its determination in the matter involving an incident arising out of the Sydney FC v Western Sydney Wanderers match on Saturday 8 March 2014.

The Disciplinary Committee consisting of John Marshall SC (Chair), Lachlan Gyles SC and Dominic Longo had been convened to hear an allegation of racial and/or ethnic abuse against Wanderers player Brendon Santalab following a complaint by Sydney FC player Ali Abbas.

The Committee dealt with matter over two lengthy hearings and reserved its determination.

The Committee has determined the following:

1. That Brendon Santalab accepted that Ali Abbas genuinely believed that the offensive word had been used and did not challenge the fact that Ali Abbas believed he had been the subject of racial abuse.
2. The credit of Ali Abbas was not under challenge.
3. Having regard to the circumstances surrounding the incident particularly the undisputed high noise levels and in the absence of other eyewitness or corroborative evidence, it was possible that Ali Abbas may have misheard what was said by Brendon Santalab.
4. Therefore the Committee was not satisfied to the necessary standard of proof that the offending words were used by Brendon Santalab and dismissed the matter.

Is Marshall the same person who has been involved in the ASADA stuff?

He represented ASADA for 20 years. Left when the possible 0 sanction settlement with Essendon players came to light a year ago.

But on closer examination, possibly 2 John Marshalls? Anyone here want to do a job and see if you can meet these blokes to confirm?

Okey dokey, so a minute has gone so it's probably fair game now.

Who is going to be fired at Sydney FC.

Farina, gone.
Pedophile - probably safe, he's a part of the club IMO.
$3.5 million - gone, they now have WSW to get them 40,000 to a game once per year, and that's free.

Credit where it's due, reporting for duty within a few days of the loss. It's not like the mass exodus of tard "supporters" after Shitme FC beat them in the grand final. Some of those guys never came back here.

There's like 3 regular posters on here.

I suppose if one doesn't come back it can be seen as a mass exodus... proportionately speaking :lol:

Wanderers blow into the 2nd rd of the ACL with a 5-nil win over Chinese Cup-winners Guizhou Renhe. That's the biggest ACL win by an Aussie team. Good ACL season so far I reckon

Good ACL season but I still read it as Anterior Cruciate Ligament.

Bye bye Frankie. Just like you reckon system aren't important in playing football they aren't important in getting sacked.

I'd love to get paid out for a six year contract.

Speaking of Moyes, the SMH Sport section has 6 articles on his sacking right now. Do they even do that many for the A-League GF?
