Gaffer reaches his 100th game tonight against GCU. Notwithstanding any views on selections/subs/tactics etc This is a great achievement.
Reading the quote below puts a lot of things into perspective.
Well done that man
This from the offal site:
"In 100 games weve achieved a lot. Getting a good supporter base up straight away, weve been reasonably successful, obviously we would have liked to have won the two grand finals but weve made two Grand Finals, won a Pre-Season Cup, won a Minor Premiership, qualified for Asia.
"Weve done a lot in the four-and-a-bit seasons with a lot to be proud of and Im certainly very proud of what Ive done and other people (have done). Everybodys worked hard to establish us as one of the best teams in the A-League.
"When I came up here in March 2005 it was still a Rugby League town, now you come up here on match day and its Yellow and Blue flags, balloons and everything, and to change it around and get a supporter base, which is not just football people, its Central Coast people, is very satisfying.
"Were competing against all the big clubs, and I think what weve achieved with a low budget is testament to all the people involved in the club that we are competitive on and off the field.
"The odds are stacked against us in a small area, but crowd wise per-head weve blitzed it in, and sponsorship, and what weve achieved on the field as well, its very satisfying to know we are competing against a team with a lot more money, and competing well against them, McKinna said.
