Revoke the Bakrie Group's Brisbane Roar A-League License


Revoke the Bakrie Group's Brisbane Roar A-League License
The issue
David Pourre;
We, Brisbane Roar Supporters and Football Supporters in Australia, request your assistance in engaging David Gallop & Football Federation Australia to take a pro-active approach toward taking back control of Brisbane Roar from Bakrie Group.
Given the events of the past year, it has become clear that the Bakrie Group can no longer continue to be given the privilege of holding an A-League license.
Over the past 12 months we have seen the Bakrie Group remove all financial support from Brisbane Roar resulting in the club not paying players and staff, defaulting on creditors and facing a wind up order. This should not be allowed to happen, and it is unbelievable that they were allowed to continue to hold a license after this incident.
The superb management of the club steadied the ship off the field this season, but despite you warning you would leave the club if Bakrie Group did not fully commit to the club, they continued to do as they please and we lost our CEO. On the pitch, the financial instability has resulted in the club losing two of the best young players in the league in Luke Brattan and James Donachie.
This cannot go on. The FFA need to step in and revoke the license from the Bakrie Group. Furthermore, this can't be allowed to happen again, to any club. It is the responsibility of the FFA to properly vet potential club owners and if owners do not respect the gravity of this responsibility, the FFA need to step in promptly to avoid further damage to the club, the brand, the A-League and football generally in Australia.
