Now we are hearing that we will lose Miller and Birra at the end of the season along with our international players leading to yet another complete rebuild

Birraz isn’t overly surprising and I’ve got no doubt the club has tried to retain him. Where are you hearing that about Miller? He has signed a senior contract through the 21-22 season.

One Question whats the situation in regards to our scouting "network", do we still do research in forms of youtube video highlights or do we have specific people in charge of finding new players? If we do are these people full time and if not is there any plans of getting a full time dedicated "scout"

 

[Forum Phoenix]

I know Mike used to. His first question to me when I asked him was 'Are you Wombat?'

That’s f**king hilarious.

surely only a transfer fee will see him leave?
I’d be extremely angry if he was released to “pursue other opportunities”

Miller and Stens also just moved into an apartment in terrigal.
Not sure how much I believe he’ll be leaving. Never say never with this club though

Birraz only has a one year contract I believe so is free to do whatever he wants at the end of the season

 

[jacobsfl]

Disappointed that Birras is moving on; we handed him a lifeline and now he thinks he's the best keeper in the country.....

was talking about Miller
But losing Birra would be devastating
Best since Maty

Or we picked up a high quality keeper for a season but haven’t performed well enough to convince him to stay, which is fair enough. Lots of players will come back to the A league to restart their career but instead of being salty we need to accept it can be mutually beneficial. Unfortunately we haven’t had the rest of the squad to capitalise on Birraz fine form.

This ain’t it chief.
If he’s got an opportunity to go overseas, then of course he’s going to pursue it.
As much as I want him to stay, he owes us nothing.
It’s not like he’s cutting & running to another HAL club. Shit, it’s not even confirmed that he’s going anywhere.

 

[jacobsfl]

This is true. I'm just trying to work out..... why Spain?

I'm making the assumption he wants to go to Spain because he's already been offered an opportunity, but I may be wrong. I just don't see the need to move overseas and learn a new language and culture when a contract isn't guaranteed.

Seems fishy to me.

Correct, he wants to go as he loves the a European lifestyle. Wanting to go and getting the right gig are two different things. I think he is leaving his options open and CCM can be his fall back if Europe does not eventuate as he has plenty of time with our long off season. The bloke has a European back ground so wanting to play over their is not surprising.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Hoole told the scum he was off to Europe.
Rest is part of our dark history

Cheers everyone for your Anton related questions. We got through a lot of them with the pod recording tonight. Anton is an interesting guy and is well worth listening to. He's a football person in a football job and that's what we need. Pod should be uploaded in the next couple days.

Thanks again to all who support the podcast, it means a lot to us.

Co-Chairman Anton Tagliaferro joins us in the studio for a chat.
We mull over the loss to Adelaide, take a quick look at contracted players, the stadium situation and more.

Shaun has confirmed that Ziggy was signed as a 1 year + 1 year option

 

[pjennings]

You can't control the results....

unless you're in Italy

 

[marinermick]

Good job boys. Listened with my commute up to Sydney.

Not very inspiring stuff from Anton. Sounds like same old, same old. The performance on the weekend gave him some ammunition to deflect.

Also worrying how quickly he fobbed off the salary cap question at the end. Did I hear right in that it is the scholarship players that are keeping us from going below the floor?

 

[Coastalraider]

I think in a very obvious way Anton is wrong about our consistency - in the last few years, especially this year, we have consistently been let down by quality in important moments.

How many games have we 'played well' but not taken our chances due to lack of quality.

How many times have we been 'in a game' to have our lack of defensive ability expose us and lose us a game.

Id say we have been consistently proven to not have a squad able to match it with anyone in the league. The fact we are on course for another spoon backs this up.

Great interview though guys, and brave of him to front up given the circumstances.
