The FFA (Farcical Flaming Answers, or Football Federation Australia as it is more commonly known) have come up with a new way to make things complicated.
They ruled today that despite Central Coast and Newcastle Jets having earned the right to host the Grand Final at their stadium, it will instead be held in Sydney - possibly the most hated team in the A-League.
Newly crowned minor premier Central Coast is about to discover the price of success as more than half its squad is yet to be re-signed for next season.
In a situation the club would rather not have to deal with just six days before the first leg of its major semi-final against Newcastle Jets, The Australian can reveal 14 Mariners are still negotiating new contracts.
This is on top of doubts surrounding the future at the club of Socceroos striker John Aloisi.
