ALM Squad 2025-2026

Redbull Central Coast.

I believe that now they are not winning they are getting out of F1 and they are so impressed that an Australian is cleaning them up they think they should transfer their F1 sponsorship money here.

Haha, no. Just the “official energy drink partner” or some such.

Red Bull giving Western United wings in historic partnership

Red Bull Australia will give Western United wings as the Club’s Official Energy Drink Partner in a history-making partnership deal.

No. Bigger than that.

I was thinking Juan Mata who has expressed an interest in investing in an Australian football club, but probably will be Canberra.

I can see him and a certain mountain biking entrepreneurial genius becoming besties…… until they’re not

Wouldn't mind this young bloke - but his father is acting as agent. Could be a problem if we were to try.

 

[VonBowellski]

We have plenty of midfielders already unfortunately. A great striker (or 2) first and then a CB

 

[Tevor]

Alfie holidaying in Bali, maybe here next year or he is having one last bit of sun before returning to Ireland. Only player I’ve seen holidaying so far.

Interesting if his father is actually acting as his agent without being licensed by FIFA and registered with football Australia. Doubly so if he’s also doing that whilst employed as a coach - maaaaassive no-nos which would see him hauled in front of the fifa disciplinary tribunal.

Sounds like they need a plan B

The kid can play. Would be a massive upgrade on our current crop.

Don't think anyone named Okon would ever work with the club again

I disagree.... they love to do plan A better!

Why would be be going to Ireland Tevor? He is a Yorkshireman.

[Tevor]

I see he is a dual citizen, British and Irish. Recall he has played for Nth Ireland.

"Apparently QPR and Juan Mata are looking at buying into the Mariners."

A post from a reliable poster on another club's fan forum.

Buying into? Interesting

 

[shipwreck]

Weird affiliation.
Are Mata and QPR working together or is he buying a stake and QPR is buying majority? Is it a package deal?

 

[finally retired]

Perhaps 2+2 = 5 ?

"Mata's minutes have been limited with Wanderers but the veteran is not averse to continuing his spell in Australia off the field. He's already a part-owner of San Diego FC, who are currently playing their inaugural season in Major League Soccer, and it's believed he's discussed the possibility of being part of a consortium that could put together an A-League side in Australia's capital city Canberra."

Ex-Man Utd, Chelsea Star Hints at Move Into Club Ownership

World Cup winner Juan Mata has hinted at delving into the world of club ownership in Australia as he continues his career outside of Europe.

And it seems QPR are more looking for a new owner for themselves rather than buying another club
