Attn: Editors requiring A-League data, here it is (03-03-07)
Rather than just give it to one or two update sites, I'd rather everyone have access to the latest information for their updates.
So for the Hyundai A-League, here it is.
-----------------------------------------------
Hyundai A-League Squad updates (March 03 2006)
Some added notes:
- As of the coming 2007-8 season (there's only two weeks to go in 2006-7), squad lists will be expanded to allow 23 players. I'd suggest that change should be enforced NOW in any transfer update for added realism.
- Adelaide United and Sydney FC are the Australian entrants in the Asian Champions League for 2007.
- The salary cap for Australian A-League teams will increase in the coming year to $1.7 million.
- Each club has the right to have a marquee player, who's salary is not included in the salary cap. At the moment, Queensland and Sydney FC do not have a marquee player, even though they are allowed one.

Hmm, so we can't edit our own posts and this forum doesn't accept normal vBulletin codes.
Oh well, can't win 'em all I suppose.
Also, not sure why I missed it, but like Aurelio Vidmar at Adelaide, Branko Culina has been named as Sydney's interim coach for the Asian Champions League.
