Arzani situation seems juicy 

my mate runs a shop at Macarthur square said the whole squad was there other day every player kitted up in team gear Arzani rocks up looking like a Lebo going for manoosh in Bankstown. 
 

also he’s been allegedly been telling people at training he would rather ‘go home and play Xbox’ then train with the team. 
 

mutual termination might be forthcoming…

Yea I think he is proving everyone right that he doesn't apply himself at all. Even Yorke was dropping him to the bench prior to leaving. All the talent in the world means jack if you don't listen to the coach and do the other little things in the game. 24 years old he isn't young anymore I think he is done now, no one will take him.

4 career A League goals for Arzani, at age 24. For context Blake Powell scored that many in one game against us 

 

Geez...whatever happen to that guy?

I don't think he plays for APIA Leichhardt anymore.

speculation is that it will provide a more intimidating atmosphere

For what, there few hundred fans that would show up. It's more of a home game for us

She deleted her Facebook messenger 😄 

This comment had me in stitches:
 

As if any Wanderer fans would actually go and waste their time to join the group and post 'troll' comments on an opponents A-League facebook group? The guy is f*cking delusional.

Fold the club: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11804773/Axed-League-coach-Dwight-Yorke-reveals-real-meaning-Macarthur-FC-pub-team-slur.html

Dwight Yorke reveals the real meaning behind infamous 'pub team' slur after acrimonious Macarthur FC sacking…as club says claims are 'incorrect and self-serving'

Dwight Yorke has lifted the lid on his brutal dressing room spray that led to him being sacked by Macarthur FC, with the former Premier League star revealing he is 'devastated' by what eventuated. 

Yorke's spell in charge of the Bulls came to an end in January after just 13 games, but the former Manchester United striker has insisted that he'd like to 'set the record straight' about what really happened.

Unsourced reports said Yorke tore into his team following the loss to Adelaide, labelling it a 'pub team' and using the term 'mickey mouse'.

The 51-year-old confirmed he did use those terms during his scathing speech, but he wasn't referring to the actions of the players, rather the senior management of the club. 

'I don't want to have a go at the club or the fans. This isn't some sort of vendetta but it's time the truth was told,' Yorke told News Corp.

'There were other incidents that built up but what happened on that final day was the tipping point.

'I don't deny saying the club was like a mickey mouse slash pub team but that was not about my players. That was about the hierarchy in terms of how they run the team.

'I've never once criticised this club. Even though I had a rant in the dressing room, I was just being honest because it's no secret it's being run like a pub team. The hierarchy just couldn't take the truth.

'We agreed to issue a joint statement saying it was mutual but they haven't ever spoken to me since. It's crazy. If you're going to get rid of me, at least call me into the office and say 'I don't like what you said. We don't see eye-to-eye so this is not going anywhere. Thanks very much.

'But they didn't do that. I just think that lacked class,' said Yorke.

Yorke explained the dressing room meltdown that led to his axing happened after the club had abruptly transferred player Anthony Carter to Portuguese side Oliveirense without telling the coaching staff until a few hours before the game.

Yorke said that Carter also wasn't told until the deal was sealed and had to get an Uber to the Adelaide airport to catch a plane home.

'The incident (with Carter) was just one too many. How can you terminate someone's contract three hours before the game without telling the manager? I felt there was just a lot of disrespect,' Yorke said.

'Not only that, but you could imagine the embarrassment for the boy that we had taken all the way to Adelaide … To call an Uber and put him on the next flight while the bus is driving off to the game, that's just a little bit cruel.

'I've been around a long time but I've never seen anything like that at the professional level because that's just not how it's done.'

Yorke revealed that he and his assistant coach Russell Latapy were both told they were being sacked by email while returning to Sydney from Adelaide the following day.

The termination notices arrived on the same day that Latappy's recently deceased brother was being buried, and not a long time after Yorke's own brother had passed away.

'The chairman (Marra) or the CEO (Sam Krslovic) never spoke to me about anything directly,' Yorke said.

'And my assistant (Latapy), his contract was terminated on the plane the following day, while we were travelling into Sydney.

'And then 30 minutes after that email came through, there was a follow up e-mail stating that I was suspended for ten days.

'It all unfolded in less than 24 hours and we never even got the chance to return to the training ground to say goodbye to the players.

'I've never seen anything like it and I'm devastated. I'm absolutely gutted because I have so much belief in all the players and was so committed to the club and so proud of the direction we were trending in.'

Yorke, who hasn't been back to the club since and is now taking legal action, believes that senior management acted without 'empathy' or 'class' and that people should know the truth about what transpired.

Chairman of Macarthur FC, Gino Marra, does not agree with Yorke's version of events.

'Macarthur FC strongly denies the allegations made by Dwight Yorke, which are factually incorrect and self-serving,' Marra told News Corp.

'The club is saddened to see Dwight take this course of action.

'The matter is before the judicial process, the club will not be making public statements until the process has been finalised. The club wishes Dwight all the best in his future endeavours.'

Time for Football Australia to consider suspending their licence, after their season is over with a view to revoking their licence permanently. The FA can transfer the licence to Canberra United who already have an A-League Womens team.
