A Brisbane soccer fan has taken his disappointment with his team public.
The fed-up supporter of Brisbane Roar football club has put his team up for sale on classifieds site, Gumtree. The ad posted by "C Fong" -- a stab at the struggling chairman Chris Fong -- initially went up for sale for a low "$3.50 Negotiable".
The bargain giveaway is a sad joke playing on the club's current financial woes, with revelations the Roar have not paid up to a year's rent for its training base. Fong has resigned as chairman and will step down from his role.
The Gumtree ad flaunts the club's assets: "many leather bound books," along with "two marquees, 5 time championship keeper, new logo, miscellaneous Bunnings Chairs and some excess baggage." Just what you need to keep the club afloat.
The ad advises that although the Roar's team starts well, and puts a smile on your face initially -- the club "seems to have some issues around undisclosed liabilities. [But] Thankfully, comes with bonus scapegoats to blame these on."
In good news, if you have a serious offer, the current owner can throw in the old logo and some spare parts, but the chairman is not included, due to obvious reasons.
