BRISBANE Roar sacked Daniel Cobb before he claimed to have stood down as the club’s managing director.

Cobb’s tumultuous Roar tenure of less than three months is over.

He was axed as managing director on Wednesday, and is also no longer the club’s interim CEO, despite last night meeting with fans to discuss the club’s future.

Roar owners, Indonesian conglomerate the Bakrie Group, are also set to reject a “walk in, walk out” offer from Cobb - different to an initial proposal he made in June - to buy the club.

The Bakrie Group, who first bought into the Roar in October 2011, intend to retain ownership of the club after being given an ultimatum from Football Federation Australia to either sell the three-time A-League champions or properly fund them.

A club spokesman claimed the Bakries’ were “fully committed” to recapitalising and developing the Roar.

However, it’s understood there is a local consortium, which includes former LNP state MP Robert Cavallucci, interested in buying into the club.

Minutes from a Roar directors’ meeting – minus Cobb - on Tuesday, show the decision was made to remove Cobb as a director.

At the same meeting, East Coast Car Rentals chief executive Mark Kingsman was appointed as a new director to replace Cobb.

Kingsman will be the Bakries’ man on the ground in Queensland.

However, the Bakries will send financial officers to Brisbane, potentially as early as Thursday, to help sort out the club’s monetary problems.

They were again highlighted when Cobb threw the Bakries under the bus on when fronting FFA chief executive David Gallop about the Roar owners’ failure to meet this month’s payday deadline and alleged reneging of an injection of $1.1 million into the club.

Already offside with the Roar’s football department, particularly coach John Aloisi and football director Craig Moore, Cobb alienated himself further by turning on the Bakries, leading to his dismissal.

With Cobb gone, the future of some other off-field staff who had worked closely with him during his time at the club, including current Football Brisbane president Brendan Boss, is clouded.

On Wednesday Cobb had claimed he was standing down as Roar managing director and that he had been forced to dig into his own pocket to pay wages and medical expenses.

He also doubted the club’s ability to again make Ballymore their training and administration base.

The Roar must pay a season-long rental fee of $300,000 to Ballymore owners the Queensland Rugby Union by Friday to start training at the Herston venue on Monday, as had been planned.

It’s understood the first instalment of departed German fullback Jerome Polenz’s severance pay, which was due on Tuesday, has yet to be paid.
