One of Australia's greatest sporting heroes is just a week away from disaster thanks to a bombshell decision
Western United have been stripped of their A-Leagues licence, leaving the embattled club on the brink of folding just three years after their first championship. Should the club go under, it would be a disaster for coach John Aloisi, who was appointed in July 2021. The man who provided Australia with an iconic sporting moment when he scored a penalty to put the Socceroos into the 2006 World Cup guided United to the 2022 A-League title with a 2-0 win over Melbourne City. United have been in financial turmoil for months, with players and staff paid late in April, May and June while superannuation payments were also delayed. United have also been unable to register players due to a FIFA ban related to an ongoing dispute with former striker Aleksandar Prijovic. United, led by chairman Jason Sourasis, had hoped their issues would be solved by a planned takeover by American group KAM Sports, which was announced in May - but that is yet to be completed. It meant the club's current ownership were unable to satisfy the financial criteria required to maintain their licence, and now have seven days to appeal the decision. 'Football Australia is able to confirm that the First Instance Board (FIB) – an independent body established under the National Club Licensing Regulations – has convened and determined that Western United FC has failed to meet the criteria required to be granted an A-League license,' an FA spokesperson said in a statement. 'As such Western United FC's license has been withdrawn, effective immediately. 'Western United FC can appeal this decision to the Appeals Body established under the regulations on certain grounds outlined in the regulations. 'This outcome, while regrettable, reflects Football Australia's ongoing commitment to upholding the integrity, stability, and fairness of competitions for all clubs, players, and stakeholders.' United were granted an expansion licence in 2018 and entered the league ahead of the 2019-20 season. 'We've been advised by Football Australia on the determination by FIB to withdraw Western United's conditional licence,' Australian Professional Leagues executive chairman Stephen Conroy said in a statement.

A close look at the Premier League signings who may catch the eye this season
The Premier League returns with its clubs having spent the summer attempting to strengthen their squads, with some investing heavily. New faces and old will grace the English top flight as the latest arrivals attempt to make their names and those already acquainted with the top flight launch new phases in their careers. Advertisement Here, the PA news agency takes a look at five men to keep an eye on. Florian Wirtz Florian Wirtz is a Red. — Liverpool FC (@LFC) June 20, 2025 When Liverpool secured a club record £100 million (€115.3 million) deal to bring Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Florian Wirtz to Anfield, they got their hands on one of European football's hottest properties. The 22-year-old Germany international, who was also courted by Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, could eventually cost the reigning champions a British record £116 million (€133.7 million), but should he fulfil the potential they believe he has, it would prove money well spent. Tijjani Reijnders Welcome to City, Tijjani! 🩵 — Manchester City (@ManCity) June 11, 2025 Manchester City were left a sizeable gap to plug when it was revealed that Kevin De Bruyne's illustrious stay at the Etihad Stadium was to come to a close, and it is one they chose to fill in part with a £46.3 million (€53.4 million) swoop for AC Milan's midfielder Tijjani Reijnders. Advertisement The 26-year-old Netherlands international was one of Milan's better performers during a disappointing Serie A campaign and while he is a different player to De Bruyne, his passing ability and eye for goal could prove invaluable to Pep Guardiola's side. Bryan Mbeumo Now playing on YouTube ▶️ Our signing interview with @BMbeumo19 is not to be missed 👇🤩 — Manchester United (@ManUtd) July 22, 2025 Boyhood Manchester United supporter Mbeumo was handed the chance to fulfil a dream when Ruben Amorim offered him the chance to join the club in a £70 million (€80.7 million) switch from Brentford. Amorim will hope the 25-year-old Cameroon international adds pace, creativity and goals – he scored 20 in the league last season – as he attempts to improve upon last season's desperately disappointing 15th-place finish. Hugo Ekitike Liverpool's swoop for Eintracht Frankfurt frontman Ekitike, which cost them an initial £69 million (€79.55 million), came as they made known their interest in Newcastle's Alexander Isak, but he is a significant signing in his own right. Advertisement The 23-year-old France international scored 15 Bundesliga goals last season and also provided eight assists, and the reigning champions will hope he can provide both in abundance in the English top flight. Liam Delap Liam Delap, welcome to our house. 🏡 — Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) June 4, 2025 Manchester City Academy graduate Delap made his mark on the Premier League with relegated Ipswich last season, scoring 12 goals, but also demonstrating a direct and physical approach which suggested he has much more to offer. Chelsea activated the 22-year-old's £30 million (€34.6 million) release clause in time for him to contribute to their successful Club World Cup campaign, and he will hope to hit the ground running when he returns to domestic action.
