FOOTBALL Federation Australia chief executive officer David Gallop has slammed Brisbane Roar bosses for again failing to pay a host of club employees on time.

Gallop was furious with Roar managing director Daniel Cobb and club owners the Bakrie Group for not meeting Monday’s monthly payday deadline, and hinted at action.

“It’s unacceptable that the Brisbane Roar are once again having issues with the payment of monthly payroll,” Gallop said.

“We have received firm undertakings from the owners and the current managing director about a recapitalisation of the club’s operations.

“We expect these undertakings to be delivered, and so do the players, coaches, members, sponsors and all in the Roar family.

“We’ve seen late payments a number of times over the past year, but FFA can’t be expected to tolerate that as the normal state of affairs for Brisbane Roar.”

Late payments were common place for several months last year, with FFA having previously put the Bakrie Group on notice.

This latest missed deadline will heap further pressure on the besieged Cobb, whose Roar future is already clouded after falling out with coach John Aloisi and football director Craig Moore.

On Monday night Cobb blamed “technical” problems for late payment of some wages.

“I’m having to process them manually as we speak,” Cobb told The Courier-Mail.

But that excuse won’t sit well with Gallop as the club moves from one crisis to the next under Cobb, who was hired by the Indonesia-based Bakrie Group in June.

Cobb is on Tuesday supposed to sign off on Brisbane’s return to Ballymore for training and administration purposes on the proviso that he pays a season rental fee understood to be more than $300,000 to venue owners the Queensland Rugby Union.

Ballymore was the Roar’s training base from October 2008 until the end of the 2014-15 A-League season, with the club’s administrative operations also there for the majority of that time.

However, the Roar’s failure to play overdue rent of $60,000 not only led to their departure from Ballymore, but also had the QRU taking legal action that almost led to the three-time A-League champions being wound up.

The Roar moved to Griffith University for training last season but the inadequacy of the surface and the dressingrooms at the Nathan campus has coach Aloisi and his squad keen to move as soon as possible.

The Roar have finally come to severance terms with the unwanted Jerome Polenz, with the German fullback having parted ways with the club despite having a year on his contract to run.

His departure means the Roar now have three visa player spots available in their squad.
