A-League Side Perth Glory Admits Guilt Over Salary Cap Violations

A-League side Perth Glory's salary cap drama "has finally reached a conclusion after the club accepted Football Federation of Australia's sanctions" imposed on April 10, a decision made as Glory CEO Jason Brewer resigned from his post, according to Dominic Bossi of the SYNDEY MORNING HERALD. Brewer announced his resignation with immediate effect on Thursday afternoon and hours later, the club released a joint statement with FFA "confirming it will not launch any further appeals through the governing body or the courts." After a marathon six-hour legal hearing on Wednesday, Perth Glory has backed down from its mooted Supreme Court challenge and "accepted the FFA was in its power to expel the club from the A-League finals series" and fine the club A$269,000 ($210,000) for breaching the salary cap for three consecutive seasons. In response to Perth Glory's acceptance of FFA's determination, "no further sanctions will be imposed on the club" despite a third show-cause notice being issued on Wednesday night for an additional A$100,000 ($78,000) in unreported payments and benefits. FFA CEO David Gallop said that "the the breach of the A-League salary cap effects more than just Perth Glory and undermines the integrity of the competition." Gallop: "Compliance with the salary cap is critical to the integrity of the Hyundai A-League and any breach affects everyone involved, not just people associated with the club in question" (SMH, 4/16).
