So will the City group loan them a superstar replacement?

I feel rather sad for them. What would the Phoenix be without the Yellow Fever? Nothing pretty much.
JUST IN @MelbourneCity's Director of Commercial and Operations Brad Rowse will take over as club CEO in April.

Off to Wests?
Hearing Socceroos legend Tony Vidmar is latest from City coaching staff to be released. Can’t fathom that decision. Good guy with interest of game at heart. Hopefully another club picks him up

Erick Mombaerts is the name floating around to be the new Gaffer at City. No concrete sauces tho.
A NEW CHAPTER BEGINS!

Welcome, Erick Mombaerts! #LePatronArrives
Big blow to them with Jack Hendry needing surgery after tearing his medial collateral ligament.
Great news for us playing them soon!
Erick Mombaerts is set to depart Melbourne City after this season, with a move to French Ligue 2 side Troyes AC (set to become a CFG club) likely. City assistant coach Patrick Kisnorbo is likely to land the club’s lead role if Mombaerts does leave. [SBS]https://t.co/lyt8Ilqnjd

Great move for him. He'll do so well
Great move for him. He'll do so well
Importantly keeps him in the NZ football orbit more or less. Not too far away, if opportunities ever arise back in the Shaky Isles.

EXCLUSIVE: Melbourne City will make shock move from Melbourne's northern suburbs to the fast-growing south-eastern region and fully relocate the club's training and administrative base to Casey Fields in time for the 2022 A-League season. @MickLynch_Agehttps://t.co/lEV7N9kEac

City gonna leave their 5 year old training facilities for a new one in Dandenong, in order to have a regional identity
Good move to set up shop down south - its barely 'regional' though. With no further A-league expansion on the cards in Melb, best to take a firmer grip on a suburban stronghold. This is where Team11 was based.
It's a good move for them, it's a very fast growing area of Melbourne with a population base that traditionally supports football.
Yep, it should've been done when they first came into the league but better late than never.
There's a big immigrant population, particularly in Dandenong and surrounding areas, who will love to have a team to properly support.
It's further away from the city than Werribee/Truganina (~35km), so will be further out than Western United's catchment area.

Thats right, not just distance but a big mental/social difference also. Sort of like North-harbour v Auckland but even more stark.
If they can build the boutique stadium in D'dong it will really be the missing piece in the puzzle to solve Melbournes fragmented teams and hopefully capitalise on the potential in these suburbs.
