Easy money for him then.
Melbourne Victory - Kurzed.
Next four weeks should be fun
Good bit of fortune for us that we get our next match against them in a couple of weeks with Honda out as well.
Lovely own goal here from Victory https://www.ftbl.com.au/news/victory-ditch-dodgy-s...
You can bet on it Matt !!
Very early whispers, but we have it on good authority that Kevin Muscat will leave Melbourne Victory via mutual termination.

This is a win for football. No other way to call it.
Football 1 Muscat 0
Allegedly he's got an offer/s in the Middle East. So could be about to cash in big time.
Kevin Muscat will lead Melbourne Victory against Sanfrecce Hiroshima on Wednesday night in the club's final Asian Champions League game of 2019.
But in all likelihood it will be the club legend's last game in charge of the club with whom he has been so closely associated for the past 15 years.
Western Melbourne here I come??

That spot's already taken LG...
Take with a pinch of salt ofc but there are rumours floating around Twitter that they are looking at Chris Coleman as a replacement.
Wishing you no success whatsoever for all your future endeavours. Sincerely
Personally thought he was holding MV back; tactically quite inflexible - thought he got it wrong v Nix and got lucky because of individual mistakes + superior quality from the likes of Toivonen; seemed to run out of luck v Sydney.
Still really think we should have won that game.

Saw this.
Man, I would love this to be true. Victory fans would burn the place down
Saw a BBC Peter Crouch ‘podcast’. They asked him if he feared one player, he said Kevin Muscat, and then one interviewer agreed and told that he googled YouTube video to show his kid the most horrible player on earth.
I’m hope I never have to watch his face on the sideline again.
Been told Marco Kurz was once again at Melbourne Airport today. #ALeague

Marco Kurz is likely to be the man to replace Kevin Muscat. Looks increasingly like Adelaide Reds recent loss will be Victory’s big new pick up #FNRNews

Victory with Kurz in charge, that isn't good for the rest of the league.

Heading back to Sydney for family reasons. I've seen his name mentioned as the new GK coach for CCM in the last few days, so I assume that is where he is going.
Melbourne Victory are set to finally get their manager, with ex-Adelaide United coach Marco Kurz to be unveiled within the next 24hrs. #aleague

November 25, 2019 — 11.43am
A contentious proposal by the country's biggest soccer club to convert a section of Footscray Park into an $18 million training facility appears doomed after a specially-appointed advisory panel unanimously voted against it.
Following months of bitter argument over the public value of Melbourne Victory’s proposal, the panel chosen by Maribyrnong Council concluded on Friday that the facility was a “private business operation” that would unduly benefit the club more than it would the community.

Statement from Melbourne Victory
Melbourne Victory has today been formally advised by Maribyrnong City Council that the 2019 Footscray Park Masterplan, which included plans for our not-for-profit Women’s and Youth Academy precinct, has been rejected.
The purported decision by Council is both disappointing and surprising, given:
- we have been working with the Council (in partnership) for over 4 years on the project; and
- that the Council has contractually committed to both the Melbourne Victory Academy entity and the State Government to deliver the earmarked Footscray Park site for the project.
Melbourne Victory is considering all of its options in light of Council's decision.
We do wish to take this opportunity however to thank the Victorian State Government for its continued support of our youth, women's and community programs, and assure the Melbourne Victory family that those existing programs will continue uninterrupted.
Victory would have out grown the site and it would not have been any benefit to the local community to have a state of the art football facility when they moved on. Mayors TUI moment
