Re: Ashes lockout with Aussie players on the front foot
As I said. Management/administratium doublespeak, total dissembling rubbish, smearing players when in truth the administrators are transparently the rapacious nest-feathering qunts.

From past experience, this is the most pointless exercise in human existence. I admit to persisting myself merely in an attempt not to get the autoreply.

Re: Ashes lockout with Aussie players on the front foot
CA now wants to go to Fair Work
"The long running cricket pay dispute has come to a head, with Cricket Australia deciding to refer the bitter feud to an industrial umpire if agreement cannot be reached over the weekend.
Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland will today reveal his plan to submit the pay dispute to arbitration unless a period of intensive negotiations scheduled for the next few days produces a compromise on substantive issues and removes an impasse threatening Australia’s first Test tour of Bangladesh for 11 years.
The escalation of the divisive pay wrangle, which has cast uncertainly over this summer’s Ashes series, came after the Australian Cricketer’s Association rejected the latest, pay offer from the game’s administration.
It appears that several weeks of talks involving Mr Sutherland and his ACA counterpart Alistair Nicholson have moved the dispute no closure to resolution, with the ACA still adamant that players must receive a percentage of the game’s gross revenues and Cricket Australia insistent that the continuation of this model would come at an unreasonable cost to other, more pressing issues in the game.
Mr Sutherland has called a press conference for 3.30pm today to outline the next phase of the pay dispute, which is being carefully monitored by broadcasters, sponsors and the federal government."
---------------------------------------
At that press conference (just watched it) Sutherland rejected the latest ACA peace plan, claiming it was no good for CA. He now wants ACA to agree to go to Fair Work Commission.
This is a long way from solved. CA looking to make the players look like the bad guys while not giving any ground on their own position. Qunts.

Of course, but it felt good to call CA "a pack of dickheads".

If the Fair Work Commission rule in CA's favour, would Watto get to vote on whether they should appeal?

I may be wrong, but it appears to me that CA have not given an inch in 9 months and now wants the industrial umpire to ratify their obstinance.
I can see the players saying GFQ.

I hate it when people don't give an inch in 9 months. I find they usually come around if you give them 9 inches for a full month.

England players are actually on a better deal than Australian players. Might be worth for our players to start looking for some pommie grandparents.

Re: Ashes lockout with Aussie players on the front foot
Sutherland knows deep down the players can afford to hold tight and make the running. They have calculated their cash reserves, CA need the players to generate the revenue. The players can be intransigent because if they ride this out they will be so much better long term.
Re. Sutherland - why did they hire a CEO with such a jittery voice?
He sounds so poor as the mouthpiece of the organisation.

We locked that avenue up years ago.

Warner has hit back at Sutherland suggesting that the players are emotionally connected to the Baggygreen and are hurt too by what is going on.
Sutherland will curry no favour with fans with his current strategy.

He's always been nervous in front of the media.

He basically said that the ACA plan is farked, and the players have been deliberately delaying and stalling. WTF???
He did the whole process no favours at all. This has got Peever brinkmanship written all over it.

It felt good to call them rapacious nest-feathering qunts, too. Not trademarked, either, in case you're wondering.

So CA wants the dispute to go to Arbitration. Sounds like reps from the laughingly called Fair Work Australia will be called. I doubt the Bosses Court will come down with a player accepted arbitrated decision.

CA must know they can't win this in the COPO and are trying to buttfark the players legally.
I'd like to know how they think they can even do that.

Not sure about that - if the international summer is rooted, I would blame the players first.

Re: Ashes lockout with Aussie players on the front foot
I admit I've been trying to keep a loose mental tabulation in my head and whilst surprised at some of the aggro levelled at the players had them well ahead on points at this stage.
Someone needs to lay out this whole process for the public. A potted version of Haig's columns going back to before last summer would show that CA have been gaming this since day one.
Though I think if push came to shove the players might be advised to take short term contracts (disgustingly obscene ones) for the summer on a without prejudice basis.

The problem is the public thought most of the players were overpaid greedy underperforming qunts before this dispute began
Any further evidence of this is jumped on ...
On the other side
Sutherland Howard and the NSP could cure cancer (or re-instate the back foot no ball rule) and we'd think they were qunts
qunts vs qunts in a qunt off ...only the public will lose

Was wondering this morning whether we could have a reprise of the Aust team in the WSC days - maybe Punter could come out of retirement to lead it.
