FFA issues Perth Glory with “Show Cause” notice

Football Federation Australia (FFA) today issued Perth Glory Football Club with a show cause notice relating to alleged “failure to disclose reportable payments” in relation to the club’s Total Player Payments.

The show cause notice does not allege that these payments resulted in the club exceeding the salary cap in the relevant years.

The alleged breaches involve failure to disclose benefits to players relating to accommodation costs, car allowances and the payment of third party agents fees for the 2012/13, 2013/14, 2014/15 Hyundai A-League seasons.

FFA will send staff back to Perth next week to continue the detailed audit of the club’s affairs.
