"I thought this would be the final nail in the coffin," admits Jamieson. "But there was a good turnout and I think that's why this club has a good chance of fulfilling its potential.

"Because, after everything that this club has done to its fans, you STILL want to turn up and watch..."

Although all the focus was on Andy Keogh for the payments made to him and his family which were central to the scandal, Jamieson says no-one blamed him personally within the playing group.

"I only found out later that Keogh was involved and had no issue with him," he says. "I didn't know of anyone getting angry with Keogh.

"I don't know if he knew and it was none of my business if he was getting paid illegally. It is what it is...

"We all get paid and whether you know you're getting paid legally or not, it is the club that brings that to you.

"If I saw him now, I'd have a laugh with him and tell him he cost Perth Glory my services!"

In the wake of the scandal, Jamieson ended his contract with Glory early to move back to Sydney and join Western Sydney Wanderers.

"It was a chance to work with Tony Popovic and return to my hometown where I grew up," he explains. 

"But also there were so many broken promises and I just didn't see how I could believe the club.

"I have no bad things to say about anyone who works here now. I didn't have anything bad to say about Sage.

"He put his trust in people and whether he was a part of it, I don't know – but I don't have anything bad to say about him.

"But it came to a point where as much as I want to thank the fans and stay, there's so much been said to me that they don't know that yes, it was absolute... it's time to go."
