Football Federation Australia (FFA) has moved to end the running saga involving Gold Coast United and their outspoken boss Clive Palmer by announcing the club's A-League licence has been revoked.

The club will be given the option to see out the season and play the remaining four games, with the FFA offering to pay the players' wages over the period.

The game's governing body made the decision today primarily due to the actions of Palmer, who has repeatedly lashed out at the FFA over the past fortnight on a range of issues.

FFA chairman Frank Lowy told a press conference in Sydney today that Gold Coast's actions were no longer tolerable.



"FFA has today terminated the A-League licence held by Clive Palmer. This morning we issued a notice of termination following material breaches of the club participation agreement. All clubs must abide by the rules and regulations if we are to run a professional competition," Lowy said.
