EXCLUSIVE: Melbourne Victory have hit back at overnight rumours claiming that Ljubo Milicevic had walked out on the club.A-League internet forums ran hot with gossip surrounding Ljubo Milicevic with claims that the star defender had left the club following a run-in with Ernie Merrick.
Some forum threads had suggested Milicevic had already left the country and that a press conference had been scheduled for mid-morning to announce the shock departure.
Melbourne Victory suffered a disappointing 2-1 loss to Wellington Phoenix on the weekend and the match saw Milicevic pick up his third yellow card for the tournament, effectively ruling him out of taking part in further pre-season matches.
Victory spokesman Tony Ising assured Ljubo Milicevic was still in the country and said that the rumours that are circulating are “unfounded” and “something we categorically deny”.
“Ljubo is sitting about ten metres away from me in our office, so he’s not in Europe. I don’t know where they’ve [rumours] have come from but I’m waiting for someone to fill me in,” he said.
“If there’s a press conference the media manager doesn’t know about it.
“Our CEO is unaware of any of these rumours and there is certainly no basis for them. At this stage there is certainly no media conference.”

Interesting things to note here:
1. If Ljubo was 10 metres away in the office, why not get him out to deny the rumours?
2. Why is the fat carnt in Tony Isings office, and not at training?
3. "At this stage there is certainly no media conference.” - 'at this stage', eh?
We'll see. Until then, please accept this amended Ljubo photo...

I say we sack him anyway.
Have you heard him talk.
He'd make even David Beckham's voice sound masculine and deep.
and he's a boxhead. like the hated one.
Article in todays Age says that there has been a falling out between Boxhead and Super Kev.
