Usain Bolt leaves Australia's Central Coast Mariners football club

They were keen(ish) to sign him, they just coyldn't justify paying him what he wanted given his likely role. When a 3rd party coyldn't be found, it was good night Irene. If an Asian or US Club opens their wallets, he could still end up a pro.

Dumbest (or perhaps most naive) comment made in the Oz Media: what does it say about Australian soccer if the Mariners sign him after some of the clubs that let him go? I thought it was common knowledge that we're a little further back in the pecking order than Borrusia Dortmund. As a matter of fact Dortmund would easily account for our national team. I don't think Usain Bolt being signing tells us anything that wasn't already patently obvious.
