Rugby League survived its Super League war and cricket survived Kerry Packer's World Series Cricket revolution. Everything will survive. FFA chairman Frank Lowy is no idiot and the clubs are really supportive of the new committee structure … it has addressed a lot of our concerns.
Without being too definite, I think I can tell you that we actually have three opportunities now
Frank Lowy accused me of being past my use-by date not long ago, but he is the one who needs to have a look at himself ... The game is a mess and we are going from one disaster to another. Everyone is afraid to stand up to him. Why? When it is time to go, you should bow out gracefully. It's time for him...
It's quite a difficult question to answer, but the chance of Gold Coast playing in the A-League next season is very little
It would be the biggest and most expensive case in Australian sport since Super League ... This time it's not Rupert Murdoch v Kerry Packer - it's Frank Lowy v Nathan Tinkler.
Our prime objective is to be there. I won't rest until we have a team in western Sydney
The FFA chairman Frank Lowy and I have made numerous offers to meet in person with Nathan Tinkler. Just two weeks ago a scheduled meeting was cancelled by HSG at short notice
What kind of success has he had? On the Gold Coast, no people want to go and watch the game.
FFA chairman Frank Lowy is no idiot and the clubs are really supportive of the new committee structure which came out of the recent owner's meeting with FFA. I am positive on the league going forward. Somebody will take on Newcastle for sure - I am absolutely certain of that.
HSG purchased a going concern, a licence, a team, a membership program, a stadium deal and the rights to a football market steeped in a proud tradition. The acquisition fee was the agreed market price after a series of negotiations, including direct face-to-face conversations between Frank Lowy, our cha...
I tried to talk to him but I couldn't ... But we can't be in this limbo where we are now.
In an ideal world Frank Lowy would come on to the ground and say there would be a Gold Coast team next year. I'm optimistic we will have a club but in reality we have to prove to the league there is the support here.
I would have preferred to come to some sort of solution but we have rock solid legal advice that we are entitled to do what we are doing
I hope Frank Lowy and Ben Buckley will take an objective view and take what's good, and what the people of Australia want to be done with their game.
I had a good relationship with him
even before he became involved in public slanging matches last week — first with Football Federation Australia and its billionaire chairman, Frank Lowy, then with the federal Treasurer, Wayne Swan, who accused Palmer and others of using their wealth to 'poison' the political and economic debate.
I don't want to stay with nine teams if I can help it. We're doing certain things towards fielding 10 teams I'm reasonably confident.
But the (FFA) chairman (Frank Lowy) has been pretty clear this week in his statements that he vigorously and fastidiously wants to pursue a 10-team competition.
We had no alternative because of his flagrant disregard for A-League rules and disrespectful comments
There is no argument with me and Frank Lowy the individual. He's a great Australian who is serving the Australian community. Frank Lowy and I might not agree on certain things, but we shouldn't be afraid of having a difference of opinion.
a smooth completion of the season and a dignified exit for Mr Palmer ... I phoned, I sent messages, I texted him and emailed, but I got no response
There is no argument with me and Frank Lowy the individual. He's a great Australian who is serving the Australian community. Frank Lowy and I might not agree on certain things, but we shouldn't be afraid of having a difference of opinion.
We have rock solid legal advice
