Macarthur FC chairman Gino Marra insists it is all systems go for the incoming A-League expansion club, which is poised to defy the financial crisis bearing down on their soon-to-be rivals.

While the future of the competition as a whole is in peril if Fox Sports withdraws its broadcasting support, the Bulls remain on track as things stand to become the A-League's 12th team, with their unique circumstances insulating them from some of the problems brought on by the coronavirus pandemic.

Under the league's expansion plans, Macarthur were not due to receive any broadcast distributions until the end of the current TV deal in 2023. While other clubs are now living on the breadline with no TV or matchday revenue - six having stood down their entire rosters due to severe cashflow issues - for the Bulls, surprisingly little has changed.

It has not been smooth sailing in recent times for the Campbelltown-based club, having gone through significant turnover at board and management level despite having not played a single match. Billionaire property developer and foundation investor Lang Walker sold his share in the project to two local businessmen in February, with some of the staff members who were employed by former executive chairman Rabieh Krayem pursuing legal action against the Bulls after being shown the door.
