Club Ownership

[FFC Mariner]

Exactly.

is Anyone a new member?

Think it's the staff member who keeps lists of fans who aren't drinking the cool-aid

Nope.

As has been mentioned, all the posts are open for anyone to see, no log in required. I'm happy to lock this thing down a bit more and force people to log in (to view posts) if we need to go down that path.

The Women's team would have cost a lot to setup and would be an ongoing cost.

What is the salary cap for the womens team? We obviously don’t get funding to have the womens team.

I don't think we realize just how little cut through the AL has in mainstream media

Exactly what I was rambling about on here the other day.

There seems to be an increased marketing push for the A-League this year. TV ads were in the NRL GF, plus I’ve heard a whole heap of radio ads.

Yep. Heard a radio ad on star yesterday for the league not Mariners

I’ve heard the radio add for the Mariners several times.

This is probably correct, but his investment in the club surely contributed to our success. If not, why so much angst now that he is leaving?

I don't have any angst at all about him leaving. He was never going to be a millionaire benefactor with bottomless pockets, pumping money into the club as a hobby. In fact his stated aims were pretty similar to MC - aim to make the club sustainable quickly and cover the losses until then.

I do have angst about next year. This year's drop in central funding will be mitigated by the ACL cash. There's a big hole for next year atm.

Had a chat to an ex employee. Paints a less than perfect picture of RP and confirmed that Shaun was forced out like we expected.
Having said that without RP we would never have won those trophies.

Will say Dick could have left mid last year, the chances of finding a new suitor would have been a lot higher.

But hey, thanks alot Dick for tearing up the backroom over the last 2 year, and then leaving at the start of a new season, mid contract (even though he's known about the funding issues for 6 months...).

I shook his hand after the Sydney home game, feels like I need to wash it again.

> Yo lil Dickie, that night I shook your hand after the Sydney home game I'd actually pissed all over my hands in the bathroom and didn't wash them before shaking yours. Bet you feel real f**king stupid now don't ya lil Dickie. You're such a piece of shit!

I'd love to hear the reason these individuals were forced out.

Yes maybe but some of the previous staff deserves as much credit too for us winning trophies even Charlesworth deserves some credit for putting things in place for a good period like appointing monty

So can we try and sign Shaun back now?

 

[pjennings]

Shaun is at the Tigers. They are wanting to drop West's and go it alone in the NRL. The guy behind Meriiton is the supposed White Knight to make a Community club. Maybe Shaun could pitch him a Community Club Sports Club to own both.

I can’t believe this is the first you have heard this. From all accounts, nobody can stand the guy.

Regardless of any firsthand employee or witness accounts though, as the saying goes, “most employees don’t leave jobs. They leave Managers.”

Whether they fled or were pushed, a mass staff exodus is as obvious as a fire alarm that something sure isn’t right.

Epic MC 4D chess to get back in our good books. Love it.
