The official all-purpose trolling bogan scum thread

[Insertnamehere]

Mariners success is based on a combination of a strong youth pipeline, a policy of recruiting young, hungry visa players with a top notch scouting network to deliver them, consistently making quality appointments in the football department, and club/team culture/standards of the highest order.

If the Jets think it is just about giving youngsters a chance then they are heading in the direction but the answer to the headline question is "no"

Question is, in a post Ken world with a ruthless owner like RP will our much mooted model work? We're still running on that legacy atm and the way the academy has been run under RP is kinda questionable.

I would say RP has been on a pretty steep learning curve and has taken a few knocks along the way. The Academy has clearly implemented a new strategy which it remains to be seen if it will pay longer term dividends. To be fair post Ken there are some pretty experienced heads still in the system with Matt Simon, Josh Rose and Andy Bernal.

Yep for sure. This season in NPL remains to be seen whether has been of value to the young guys.

As time goes on I'm beginning to realize I had underestimated Simmo's off field capabilities...a lot.

 

[LFCMariners]

Any updates whatsoever about the future of that lot?

Oddly silent about whether they've officially gone the way of NZK, NQ and GCU or whether we'll get the chance to sing about back to back championships and winning the toilet seat at our home ground and how they'll never sing that...

The "brand" and name was sold to a sports marketing firm based in Sydney for $1.6m a week or so back (as reported)
Presumably the buyers are still waiting for APL/FA sign off. Thought they would do it just after the GF - maybe trying to work out how to announce no Canberra??

It's only been a few days. Probably just looking at clean air for the comms. Canberra looks to be a concern though, really need to be locking some players away already if in for 24-25 but I suspect they'll be 25-26.

 

[shipwreck]

Would have been awesome if Canberra got in for the next season, 14 teams would be sweet.

Getting very late, they will be scraping the barrel if they aren't sorted by June

 

[pjennings]

Jets has been agreed and with the FA. Expect a transfer of the license in the next couple of weeks.

Prospective Canberra owners have run foul of Austrac about getting their money into the country. Sould like wholesome and respectable folk

Any idea who the buyer is?

I think I read 'a consortium of Sydney and Melbourne businessmen'.

Surely APL could have made an introduction to 777 so that they could provide advice and guidance on moving dodgy money across borders

Basically confirmed, he rejected the Jets offer lol

 

[Wombat]

Do we reckon the new Jest owners might sound out Ken given the academy is a priority?

Ken was ready to retire.
