Premier League legend Robbie Fowler wants to start a new career in Australia despite bitter legal fallout from his last stint Down Under - 'feel I've got a lot to give'

Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler has declared an interest in reigniting his managerial career in Australia - despite a bitter falling out with Brisbane five years ago.
Fowler, 50, spent just over a year in charge of the Roar and took legal action against the A-League Men club at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic over what he claimed was his unfair dismissal.
FIFA eventually ordered Brisbane to pay damages to Fowler, ruling his contract was terminated without just cause during the competition's 2020 shutdown period.
The man known as 'God' on Merseyside in the United Kingdom has since held head coaching positions in India and Saudi Arabia, and is eager to give management another crack.
'I love the game and I feel as though I've got a lot to give,' Fowler said in Melbourne on Tuesday.
'I spent many years doing all my coaching badges and all the correct badges that you need to go represent football clubs.
'There will be an opportunity for me to travel overseas again and if it's in Australia, brilliant. If it's not, then I'll go somewhere else.
'But I love being involved in football and being a part of a football club, and fingers crossed it's soon.'
Fowler was one of the biggest names to grace the A-League, spending one season each at North Queensland Fury and Perth Glory from 2009-2011.
The former England striker, who had only previously played club football in the UK, scored 18 goals in 54 ALM appearances.
Fowler clarified he would only return to Australia if the 'right opportunity' presented, and suggested time was healing his wounds from the Brisbane fallout.
'I won my case against them and wasn't happy with the way I was treated at the end, but it is what it is,' Fowler said.
'I understand a lot of what happened was because sponsors were pulling out of the league.
'I loved my time here and that little bit probably dampened my love of Australia.
'But if I get an opportunity to come over and it's the right opportunity, then I'm all for it.'
Fowler still keeps tabs on the ALM, including Melbourne City's tense 1-0 win over arch-rivals Melbourne Victory in last week's grand final.
'I watched the game and I enjoyed it. Melbourne Victory were probably unlucky,' Fowler said.
'(City's) performance wasn't great, but no one really remembers that. You remember the result.'
A current Liverpool ambassador, Fowler made a brief appearance in Melbourne this week at an event hosted by Carlsberg to celebrate the 20-year anniversary of the Reds' 'Miracle Of Istanbul' UEFA Champions League triumph in 2005 against Italian giants AC Milan.
'I love being part of Liverpool,' Fowler said.
'I've been blessed with playing with Liverpool for a lot of years and now travelling the world as an ambassador.

MCoBeauty founder Shelley Sullivan reveals the truth behind $1billion beauty brand deal - and how much she profited from the sale

Shelley Sullivan, the woman behind Australia's fastest-growing beauty label MCoBeauty, has spoken candidly about what it meant to sell her business earlier this year. The entrepreneur, whose budget-friendly beauty empire has become a cult favourite among Aussie celebrities, confirmed that while the business was valued at $1billion, the real takeaway for her and her team was far from what the public might assume. 'I wish,' she told Stellar Magazine on Sunday when asked whether she personally pocketed that amount. 'The business could be valued at $1 billion but that's not necessarily a reflection on what the people that are exiting get.' Shelley explained that MCoBeauty's lofty valuation was based on its performance and earning potential rather than a direct windfall for herself. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She emphasised that factors like the brand's rapid growth, earnings trajectory and overall market trends contributed to the billion-dollar figure, not a simple sale price. Despite stepping back from day-to-day operations, the beauty boss hasn't completely walked away. She remains an avid supporter, watching from the sidelines with pride as the brand continues to thrive under new leadership. 'I'm still very much a fan of the brand,' she said. 'Running a business that grew so quickly was a lot… exhilarating and exciting, but at times exhausting.' Shelley admitted that she's now enjoying a well-earned break after years of hustle. The journey to the top wasn't without sacrifices - long hours, relentless pressure and the weight of expectations were all part of the grind. Driven by a clear goal to dominate the beauty market with affordable on-trend products, Shelley and her team worked tirelessly to turn MCoBeauty into the powerhouse it is today. The business' explosive growth made it a major player on supermarket shelves and in the competitive beauty landscape, rivalling premium brands at a fraction of the cost. She credits the brand's success to a razor-sharp focus on innovation and consumer demand, paired with savvy partnerships and bold marketing. But even with the monumental valuation and market domination, Shelley remains grounded and spends time focusing on family and slowing down than big-dollar headlines. Reflecting on her business journey, she concluded: 'We had a vision to create Australia's fastest-growing beauty brand. 'But I don't think myself, the family and the team ever thought beyond our wildest dreams that that's what we would create.'

Aussie exposes the crucial industry that is on its way out: 'Costs too much'

A carpenter has claimed the trade industry is 'dying out' as more businesses turn to subcontractors because they're less of a hassle and more cost-effective. Josh Alcorn, the owner of a luxury cabin-building business in Wollongong, shared a video last week explaining why 'apprentices are too expensive to hire'. 'People love to talk about the trade shortage, but no one's talking about why,' he said. 'From my experience, there's two big reasons: apprentices are too expensive to hire and young people have other ways of making money these days.' As the owner of a business, Mr Alcorn said there were several disadvantages to hiring apprentice tradies. 'I've crunched the numbers and when you factor in annual leave, TAFE days, sick leave, public holidays, RDOs, rain days - a first-year apprentice ends up costing you the same as what it would to have a subby (subcontractor) for $50 an hour,' he said. 'That doesn't include overheads, insurance, payroll, all that other s***. 'So as a boss, you've got two options. You can either take on an apprentice who doesn't know anything or a subby who's got a car, tools and can work unsupervised. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Josh Alcorn | The Builderpreneur (@its_josh_the_builder) 'From a pure financial perspective, what would you do?' With no financial incentive for business owners to hire apprentices, the size of the next generation of tradies could be drastically smaller. 'Obviously, I did my time as an apprentice and I believe in training the next generation, but I can see why people aren't hiring apprentices like they used to,' Mr Alcorn said. 'Some people will tell you it's because they don't make them like they used to. 'Maybe they're right, but I'm sure there's some young guns out there who won't get a shot because it just costs too much to hire them. 'Until that changes, we'll continue to hear them talk about how the trades are dying.' Data from the National Centre for Vocational Education Research showed that while the number of apprentices in Australia was higher than pre-pandemic levels, the figure had steadily declined since the last boom in early 2022. The Apprentices and Trainees 2024: December quarter report stated: 'Trade numbers decreased by 2.9 per cent compared with December 2023, while non-trade numbers fell more significantly by 19.1 per cent.' During campaigning for the federal election, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese pledged an almost $627million boost for the construction industry. The funding was set to cover residential and clean energy sectors and cover about 62,690 apprentices. Albanese's proposed scheme promised to pay apprentices $10,000 in five instalments over the duration of their apprenticeship, in addition to their usual pay. He also promised to raise allowances for apprentices living away from home. 'Right now, a first-year carpentry apprentice earns about two-thirds of the minimum wage,' Albanese said in January. 'Many apprentices have said they could earn more stacking shelves at the supermarket.' However, the Independent Tertiary Education Council Australia warned the promise was not enough as it still left other trade sectors in the dark. 'Supporting apprentices in the construction and energy sectors is important, but this measure fails to address the needs of the small businesses in other parts of the economy,' council chief executive Troy Williams said. 'It also lets down employers looking to take on an apprentice. 'Without meaningful support for employers, the pipeline of skilled workers will continue to remain under threat.' The move was part of Albanese's larger promise to build more homes to address critical housing shortages.

MPs treated HS2 as a test of virility. No wonder it's been a flop

L ast week brought shocking news. HS2, the nation's flagship infrastructure project, will be further delayed. A damning report found that the project has been comprehensively mismanaged, and needs to be completely reset to stop costs ballooning further. The secretary of state blasted the appalling failures to date, but promised that Whitehall would now finally get a grip. Well, I say shocking news. At this point such stories are as traditional a part of the news calendar as the Boat Race. HS2 has become the fiasco of fiascos, the disaster of disasters, a painfully on-the-nose metaphor for a country that can't get anything built, or anything done. Yet it might all have been so different. In 2005 Alistair Darling commissioned Sir Rod Eddington, former head of British Airways, to review the transport network. Eddington argued for expanding our big international gateways, such as Heathrow and the container ports; upgrading the roads, by introducing pay-as-you-go pricing; fixing our godawful planning system; and tackling the worst pinch points, not least the commuter routes into the big cities. But he warned that many of the proposals for high-speed rail were solutions looking for a problem — boys wanting to play with toys.
