What's the suggestion that he selects players based on nationality?

That he is a racist cod and hasn't been looking at players for WU because of it.

Also, if you know Ratprom on twitter, his latest video is great. Think it has something about the USB and McDonalds in it as well.

He shouldn't have signed MacDonald, but that other Antipodean ex Celtic striker (now retired).

They could swap dodgy home invasion stories.

Agents are not neutral observers so you have to take this whole brouhaha with a grin of salt. Rudan clearly has some enemies though, and probably isn't a very nice guy

Was a pleasure to hear Rudan lose it at his players last night. The big F n C in a conversation with Kurto was the highlight.

From the most recent council meeting: https://councilpapers.wyndham.vic.gov.au/Open/2020/ORD_04022020_MIN_2601_AT.PDF

Not much real information, but it does flag concerns from a local person.

10.2 Public questions received from Arnav Sati
Question 2
Wyndham City Stadium, with 15,000 seats is claimed to be a game-changer to the often-neglected suburb of Tarneit. However, some recent media articles mentioned the planned stadium remains in limbo. I request the council to provide a detailed answer on:

  1. From the 265 acres land parcel at 1160 Sayers Road, how many acres are offered at no cost to build the stadium?
  2. Is Wyndham City Council contributing financially (or in-kind) for the stadium? If yes, please provide details of the funding arrangements
  3. How much is Western Melbourne Group Holdings investing in the stadium? How will the multi-million dollar funding be arranged by the consortium?
  4. Will there be any commercial and residential development on the land parcel itself? If yes, is Western Melbourne Group Holdings a financial stakeholder in that as well? Please provide detail of arrangements.
  5. Tarneit Indoor Sports Stadium was proposed in 2017. Is it still happening? Is there any funding previously allocated to build Tarneit Indoor Sports Stadium being provided by the council to build the Wyndham City Stadium?

Answers to Question 2
Ms Kelly Grigsby, CEO, advised that contrary to media reports, Council is very committed to this vital project in Wyndham City and is constantly working with the partners involved in the building of the stadium.

  1. The site is 63 hectares in size and of the title to approximately 6.5 hectares of land will be provided at no cost in exchange for the building of Wyndham City Stadium by the Western Melbourne Group to act as the home of the Western United Football Team. The stadium will also be available for a range of other sporting and cultural events. This will be a significant sport precinct with the stadium being one of those elements.
  2. It is underpinned by a value capture model and the deal is funded by the Western Melbourne Group. Details of this are not available due to commercial-in-confidence.
  3. Details of this are not available due to commercial-in-confidence.
  4. There will be commercial and residential development on the site and the Western Melbourne Group will be the responsible developer. The details, again are commercial-in-confidence.
  5. The Tarneit Indoor facility as nominated in the Riverdale Precinct Structure Plan is still happening. A Master Plan is currently underway and will confirm the exact location of the future indoor facility. Early service mix and feasibility investigations are underway to inform the Master Plan.
