Take it up with Spurs - they paid the money, not City.

Simon Hill @simonhill1894.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Just like every other one of the big six clubs. City are just much better at it than most. Also, re the Savinho transfer, are you suggesting Spurs are “in” on it?

Simon Hill @simonhill1894.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

They’ve made profits on almost all of them. In the case of Savinho, a huge profit. No idea why tbh, but if Spurs want to pay that 💰? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Tariq, City have also recouped £millions on outgoing transfers. The 115 argument is fair - it’s ridiculous there’s still no clarity after all this time - but you’ve undermined your “£300m” spending accusation, by failing to give any context to City’s summer spree.

Hearing the beautiful old ornate stand at the Morwell Falcons stadium is to be replaced the the brutalist structure in the 2nd pic. So sad - surely a part of the games history can be brought up to date & saved?

Not sure I have the energy to do all that again, Guido - it’s a lot of work for very little return, but you never know. Appreciate the comments 👍

Some news for those who have asked…sadly, The Global Game won’t be returning to the airwaves, at least for now. I believe the show has been unable to secure sponsors. This is where ⚽️ is in Australia, unfortunately. Thanks to all who listened & all our contributors 👍

All things considered (especially as the AL is largely ignored by mainstream media), these figures aren’t too bad. A couple still need a lot of work, but these numbers would be the envy of large parts of Asia…which is where we are, not Europe…

Simon Hill @simonhill1894.bsky.social · 22/02/2025

Correct, Brett! Long story, but at SBS, every Anglo was given a jokey “ethnicised” name…a sort of reverse play on Laszlo Urge having to fit in by being “Les Murray” - so Simon became Shime. I like it! 😉

They may yet come to the rescue for next season - but in principle, yep.

Simon Hill @simonhill1894.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

Yes, information is hard to come by sadly. APL (despite the initial promise of greater transparency) seem to have withdrawn into silence across many issues.

010

Simon Hill @simonhill1894.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

Tbf, they may yet come to the rescue for next season at least. In principle tho, I agree with you…but this is the same story right around the country.

Simon Hill @simonhill1894.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

So, no Canberra in the ALM for 25/26, and the ALW team will need to resolve its funding issues soon, as they want to lock in the schedule by the end of March. Disappointing, but not surprising, given the silence of late. APL still hopeful of 26/27 for the ALM’s.

Hi mate - waiting on a sponsor for TGG to return I think…re 1875, yeah there’s probably earlier games, but at the mo, I think that’s the earliest one that’s been verified 😉

Simon Hill @simonhill1894.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

⚽️ in Australia is 150 years old (at least) in 2025 - the 1st officially recorded game being in Goodna in Aug 1875. Any plans to commemorate/celebrate this @footballaustralia @footballqueensland?

Nah, we saw it - there’s slight contact, but in any case it’s well outside the box.

Interesting that whenever the moronic mango has a big day in the US (election/inauguration), there follows some fairly wild fluctuations in followers/algorithms at the other place. Time to start building here methinks. #Bots #I’mnotAmerican
