The following is a statement made by the Brisbane Roar on their club website;
In addition, superannuation payments for all players, coaches and administration staff are up to date.
Today Brisbane Roar Football Club Managing Director Daniel Cobb met with Football Federation Australia officials to discuss the club's situation.
'I have briefed the FFA [Football Federation Australia] and PFA [Professional Footballers Australia] to assure them that player, coach and administration staff wages and superannuation are up to date', Mr. Cobb said.
'Today's meeting with FFA was brought about by a default from the Bakrie Group on the recapitalisation of the club.ย
'I agreed to come in as Managing Director in order to stabilise the club on the condition that a 1.1 million dollar injection inย to the club was provided on July 1st, 2016.
'As of today in regards to that payment, only $405,000 has been provided. This has a significant impact on the club moving forward and in particular our move to Ballymore.
'Discussions are now taking place withย The Bakrie Group about how this situation will be rectified. I will keep all stakeholders including the FFA and PFA informed over the coming days.'"
