GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Phoenix Coyotes four-year bid for stability will finally come to a close soon. With Tuesday nights Glendale City Council meeting, the Coyotes will find out if the city will approve an arena lease agreement with Renaissance Sports & Entertainment, which has an agreement in place to buy the franchise from the NHL. Should the council approve the 15-year, $225 million deal for Jobing.com Arena, the path will be cleared for the Coyotes to stay in Arizona. A vote against the lease agreement means the Coyotes are almost certainly headed out of town for good. "I dont want to be more specific than Im going to be, but if the council doesnt approve it so this transaction can close, I dont think the Coyotes will be playing there anymore," NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said at the leagues Board of Governors meeting last week. The Coyotes ownership saga goes back to 2009, when former owner Jerry Moyes took the team into bankruptcy in a failed attempt to sell it to Blackberry founder Jim Balsillie, who would have moved the franchise to Hamilton, Ontario. The NHL and Glendale fought the plan in court and the team was sold to the league later that year. The quest to find an owner has been filled with twists and turns in the four years since, with new owners coming forward and falling away, rumours of relocation popping up and plenty of politicking. The Coyotes appeared to have an owner in place when Chicago businessman Matthew Hulsizer was set to buy the team two years ago, but his bid was thwarted by the conservative watchdog group Goldwater Institute, which warned potential bond buyers to stay away from the Glendale offering because of a looming lawsuit. A group headed by former San Jose Sharks CEO Greg Jamison reached an agreement with the NHL to buy the team last year, but his deal fell apart when he was unable to secure finances before a lease-agreement deadline with Glendale in January. RSE, headed by George Gosbee, Anthony LeBlanc and Daryl Jones, agreed to a deal to buy the team from the NHL last month. That was only the first step, though. RES still had to work out a lease agreement with Glendale, a city thats in financial trouble, in part because it has paid $25 million each of the past two years to keep the Coyotes. The two sides have spent the past few weeks working on an agreement for Jobing.com Arena and released a draft of the deal last week. But, as has been the case in this soap operatic story, the deal was far from done. At the same time it posted a draft of the lease agreement on its website, Glendale also released a list of concerns about the deal, including a $15 million management fee to run the arena and an out clause that could allow RSE to move the team without penalty if its cumulative losses reach $50 million or after five years. Glendale came up with a counterproposal on Friday, one that included an out clause for the city. RSE called the out clause, which no other NHL city has, a non-starter, creating added tension heading into Tuesdays council vote. "I think it would be a huge mistake for Glendale to make, that they would have anything but an enormous financial disaster on their hands trying to keep that arena open after losing an anchor tenant and 41 nights," said former Arizona Attorney General Grant Woods, whos representing RSE. "The reality, in my opinion, is that the arena will shut down. I hope that wont happen to them, but they need to look at the hard realities of the way the world works and I think thats the reality here." One things for certain: The Coyotes will know their future soon, one way or the other. White Womens Adidas Ultra Boost 2018 .

Theyll be reacquainted in Perth this weekend but Sydney FC midfielder Brandon ONeill insists thats the most contact hes had with former A-League coach Kenny Lowe.The Sky Blues moved quickly this week to lock in ONeill for a further two years, amid reports the Glory had also noticed the 22-year-olds sterling form and were keen to repatriate the Perth-born talent.I never spoke to Kenny, any of the coaching staff or anyone at Perth Glory, ONeill said.It all came out in a rush that they were interested in signing me again. Whether it was completely true or false, I cant comment.I took it as more of a funny scenario rather than a serious one because my heart and head were telling me to stay at Sydney.There is a chasm in form between the two sides as ONeill and table-topping Sydney prepare for Saturday nights match.While the Sky Blues remain unbeaten with a six-point buffer over Melbourne City, fifth-placed Perth have conceded 19 goals for just three wins in 10 matches.The Glory were booed by home fans for their insipid 2-1 capitulation last weekend to lowly Newcastle, forcing captain Rostyn Griffiths to concede his highly rated squad hadnt been delivering.Unfortunately for Perth, its kind of what theyre used to at the moment, ONeill said.I still have a lot of close mates and I know the boys there are really determined to turn it around.Im sure they will but I dont think it wwill be against us.ddddddddddddnother former Glory man, goalkeeper Danny Vukovic, was more wary of the way Perth could lift for big games but was confident there were areas prime for exploitation.The Sky Blues rediscovered some of their mojo in last weekends spiteful 1-1 draw with City, and were set on transforming those glimpses of quality back into the rampant attack that kick-started their season.With second and third place facing off in Saturdays Melbourne derby, Vukovic said it was crucial to rake in three points.One of the Melbourne teams is guaranteed to drop points - maybe both of them if they draw, he said.Its the perfect chance to kick further ahead and keep a bit of daylight between us and the rest of the chasing pack.ONeill will almost certainly return to the starting line-up with midfielder Josh Brillante suspended, while impact striker Matt Simon is sidelined after copping a one-match ban for shouldering City defender Michael Jakobsen.Vukovic was reluctant to say whether he thought the suspension was fair but admitted the absence of the fiery substitute was a big loss.He changed the game in our favour when he came on and was a big reason why we managed the equaliser, he said.He got in their faces and didnt take a backward step.
