Listen, as two of the finest clubs in SC, GFC and St Giles must consider the financial viability of this possible merger. It would be absurd to think otherwise, but yet to insinuate that it is financially driven is rediculous.
"If" the merger is completed, it will be to improve soccer from the youngest recreational player(of which are the majority) up to the oldest premier team or it won't be done.
Speculation will be rampant as to the reasons, benefits, the negatives and etc...very little will be accurate if it is not from Pearse Tormey, Russ Aucoin, Andrew Hyslop or BobF(no really). Already there are totally inaccurate "experts" making claims. They were not in any meetings I was at...Discussions will continue, "if" it happens, it will be a true merger of two giants attempting to make soccer for the future better at every age and every skill level.
