Perth Glory have been banned from the A-League finals and fined Aus$269,000 after being found guilty of salary cap breaches over three seasons, Football Federation Australia (FFA) said Friday.

The Perth club deliberately failed to disclose payments and benefits to at least six players, FFA said, adding that they had exceeded the Aus$2.55 million (US$1.96 million) salary cap by approximately Aus$400,000.

Perth are currently second in the 10-team A-League standings behind Melbourne Victory, however their final position at the end of the season will be adjusted to seventh overall.

In that scenario, defending champions Brisbane Roar, currently seventh, would make the top-six finals in Glory's place.

FFA said the club had deliberately not disclosed payments outside standard player contracts, such as player agents' fees, a third party sponsorship, a pre-payment to a player, and travel and accommodation benefits.

"The breach this season involves the deliberate failure to disclose payments and benefits to at least six players," FFA chief executive David Gallop told reporters.

"We cannot have a club that is deliberately, significantly and persistently breaching those obligations of playing for the championship.

"Certainly it would be clear that the management have engaged in these practices and, in our view, it would be unlikely that management would stay in place."

Perth Glory have seven business days under FFA regulations to lodge an appeal to the governing body's independent disciplinary committee.

Glory chief executive Jason Brewer said his club will be taking counsel and is considering all avenues available to it.

"Perth Glory fans should be in no doubt that the club will be responding to the FFA determination and that our players will be playing for important points in the coming weeks," Brewer said in a statement.
