In answer to the repeated spoons question
Mariners thrown a lifesaver
Central Coast Mariners are on track to be branded with their fourth wooden spoon in six years after slumping to bottom of the table after their 2-0 loss to Adelaide last week, putting them at a legal risk of having their licence revoked on the grounds of poor performances.
Minimum performance measures in A-League participation agreements with FFA suggest a club can be "relegated" for finishing bottom of the table three years in a row, or four times out of six seasons.
But A-League boss Greg O'Rourke told The Hairdryer the competition's new management won't be looking to invoke its power to remove the Mariners should they finish last again.
"We have no intention to use ladder position to determine the licence," he said. "What we are committed to do is work with clubs on the bottom of the ladder to take new initiatives to improve their competitiveness."
Former FFA chief David Gallop was not as lenient towards repeated poor performance. When News Corp revealed the clauses last year, Gallop said: "The proper management of any league requires KPIs that assist the continued good performance of the constituent clubs and contribute to the strength of the league as a whole."

Just reinforces my theory that he wants to sell, and probably no longer cares if we relocate. I imagine he expects scrapping the cap will make the league more attractive to investors

He mentioned scrapping the cap all the way back in 2013 at a fans forum.
COE of one of the things being done to help the Mariners when the cap went.
I also seem to remember him throwing ideas out there with trying to get spectators to sit on the sunny side.
Drinks delivered to your seat and free Mexican sombreros were a couple I remember him coming out with.
In a joking kind of way. That's why I was sceptical of the "line out at corners" Moss was on about.
Although Prior Pete gave me a red cross for that comment.
I realise PP has more inside knowledge of the club though, so perhaps it did happen.

My understanding of the COE progress. The COE is essentially blocked by council as far as I can see.
They want a second entrance other than Byrant Drive. They will no longer allow Ibius Cl to be that entrance. From my understanding the extra non Byrant Drive access requirement was added because of the Sports precinct being built and Ibis Cl, while it was originally ok in our original plan is now considered out because of change traffic flows introduced with the new lights at Wyong Rd and the Highway.
An alternative that has been suggested Council has no plans for, but have suggested it would cost around $15M which they are in no hurry to fund.

While ever it exists in its present format it works against any club that cannot attract top marquees. A club that can afford two quality marquees outside the cap will not have to pay overs to get people to play there. The rest are left paying too much for journeymen who do not deserve the money. I'd rather get rid of the cap altogether and pay players their true value - many will get a rude shock.
The PFA wanting to keep the visa players out of the cap is just a way to inflate wages. If that plan gets up then we should be limiting the salary cap $1.5M to $1.8M for the remaining 14 - 17 players.

Hi guys
Is it possible to get Kale Morrow on the pod?
I got this from the HAL stats page about our strikers. I only compared Murray, Simon and Jair. These stats show Murray to be well in front of Jair. However, a number of forumites say that it is a subjective thing. (I agree to a large extent and thought Jair worked hard in his first game but hasn't shown the same drive since so I still prefer Murray.)
What I am would like to see though is Kale Morrow's stats on involvement in goals for all of forwards and more importantly you guys doing an interview with Kale to explain the graph's.
My view's are formed by purely looking at the game and while I have seen vast improvement in Murray's overall game since he came here I think he has lost confidence in front of goal. That said - in football the team needs to score and the strikers have the main responsibility to do so.
