The revelation comes following a turbulent fortnight at Roar with allegations of a rift between Cobb and the club’s coaching staff led by head coach John Aloisi, followed by reports of players, coaches and administration staff not being paid.

Cobb and Roar provided a statement on Tuesday, laying the blame squarely on owners the Bakrie Group who were said to have failed to fulfil a $1.1 million injection promise.

“As far as the original sale agreement, I’ve terminated that and I will give an alternative offer to the Bakries, which they may or may not accept,” Cobb told AAP on Wednesday.

“The relationship’s obviously been very strained. There’s obviously been tensions over the last five or six weeks and the tax and the super situation’s building and I’m just not prepared as a director to be liable for that.”

Cobb informed the FFA of his intentions to quit on Tuesday, having only took up the role as managing director two months ago.

He said he would make a final "take or leave it" offer to buy the club from the Bakrie Group.
