No, but The Aints are also going to enter the competition in a year so maybe she's got a role as part of the startup. After all this time next year The Aints will be in the expansion club signing period.
Arnell's situation, following on from the coach related events, reminds me of a bloke I know in suburban footy. This guy is / was the heart and soul of the club he is at, he helped keep the joint going and stuck with it through the hard times when all was apparently lost. After things got turned around one half of the club thinks he should be the first picked every week, a walk up start not matter what, because without him there would be no club. They know that some weeks it was only his tireless phone calls and pleading that saw a team take the ground. The new regime that has just come in after the hard work was done wants him off the books, they only see him as an on-field liability. It reminds me a bit of Arnell, but in Arnell's case such is professional sport! She must feel a little bitter though, the child she bore has disowned her!
