The renegade billionaire, who launched his rebel 'Football Australia' organization on Thursday, said he will pursue legal action as expected after the FFA's decision to strip him of his A-League licence.

Palmer claimed Gold Coast were denied 'natural justice' following the bizarre turn of events that began with their match against Melbourne Victory, when the side ran out with 'Freedom of Speech' plastered across their shirts.

That was the final straw for FFA chairman Frank Lowy, who saw fit to kick United out of the A-League and turn his verbal sparring with Palmer into full-scale football warfare.

"We've never had a warning notice," Palmer said. "We've never been told we're in contempt. We've had no right of appeal, no charges or anything like that.

"We believed that breached natural justice. The injunction... foreshadows a legal action against the FFA for their illegal ultra vires activity."

FFA chief Lyall Gorman is currently on the Gold Coast negotiating with Professional Footballers Australia, with a view to allowing the club to play in Sunday's fixture away to Wellington Phoenix.

Palmer said whether or not that match goes ahead under the normal arrangement of his ownership will be in the hands of the Supreme Court.

"All we can do in this situation is to go before the court and suggest we be allowed to play," he said. "It's entirely up to the court and what they decide."

In a marathon and at times surreal press conference, Palmer claimed FFA chairman Frank Lowy had asked him to wind up his A-League club and invest $5 million in a new western Sydney franchise.

He also suggested he had the support of Newcastle Jets, who are owned by another unhappy investor in Nathan Tinkler - although both claims were later denied by FFA.

Tinkler, the head of the Hunter Sports Group, is also at loggerheads with FFA over the acquisition fee he paid to assume control of the Jets.

Palmer said the chief executive of HSG, Troy Palmer (no relation), will file an affidavit in court on Friday.

"(Troy Palmer) will point out the importance of the next four games to the competition," Palmer said.

"The importance of this club (Gold Coast) keeping the same players and administration so that the whole competition is fair.

"As we've got a commitment to the fans and the members of our club, that injunction should allow the next four games to be completed under the existing structure.

"Any disputes, whether we are right or we are wrong, should be dealt with at the end of the season so we don't harm the game."
