Or:

Put a price tag on the team that reflects its current situation and status, rather than what would be a break even point.

Agree 100% stop being all butt hurt and sulky and put a price on the club (not his property deal)
The asset he has destroyed

That’s it isn’t it.
He won’t reveal how he is doing business with the combination.

* Show is how much you want?
* Show is exactly what you would get?

Sorry Champ, you don't get to have it both ways.

He is acting like it's a burden to own a football club, grow some balls you pussy.
Seriously, that's the most pissweak statement I've ever heard, I'm siding more and more with Lucy Zelic, it's an insult to the mariners and an insult to the competition to try and make us feel sorry for you because you can't afford it.

Sell the club for a price that reflects its current value, to someone who is willing to lose "their limited funds" in making us not be a complete laughing stock, if you're in a position to afford a football club, a dream for most, you don't get to be shit at it just because you "can't afford it" f**k off

Charlesworth has listened and responded. He would like to clear up a couple of things.

• He has been virtually funding the club for close to 10 years now, not 6
• He has been seeking investment/funding for the same period and it is obviously difficult/impossible
• If there is a clear consensus he is not wanted he will spend his limited funds elsewhere

So....there's that.

So he's had 10 years to get some one on board. He's had 10 years to set up a community partnership regime.
10 years is a very long time to not run a business into the ground.
I'm doubtful he could sell the licence to be relocated because that would deprive the new league of revenue.
So he can just shut the doors and hand the keys back but that's not going to happen.

If the podcast team have MCs attention perhaps they could open some dialogue with him about how to improve his relationship with the club supporters. I'm not talking the obvious SpEnD mOrE mOnEy!!!!!11!!!1 kind of response but some genuine communication addressing our situation, our spending limits and his feelings on the situation. Right now MC is in a silent punching bag role but if that is grating a bit and he's tempted to pack it up then it needs a rethink.

I'm not saying he needs to be praised but if theres a bit more transparency and he comes across as genuine it might help a little. Keeping his head down isnt sending the right message by now.

I also think as you boys said, MC and the club have swiped so many people, organisations and businesses on the coast, he and his cronies need to get out there and cup some balls. None of this woe is me shit from management, get in there and get f**king active. Don't leave it to the poor bastards who are your defacto punching bags (CCM staff).

It was fun while it lasted but that last bit says you don’t want me then fine I’ll take my ball im going home

 

[jacobsfl]

I'm curious - what were people saying to make him think the fans didn't want him?

He reads the club’s social media and is “very aware of the feeling out there”. Take a look at the Mariners Facebook and you’ll find what has/is being said

I would imagine that FB is a bit less civilised than here? I don't have FB for reasons so I wouldn't venture to look

Really? It’s only about half the posts here and more on other socials.

 

[jacobsfl]

Just read some of the FB posts and it's a lot more toxic there than it is here. I see where he's coming from

 

[Robbiemariner]

Great pod lads , you actually reinstalled some POSITIVITY in this old mariner , still going to be a long hard road till end of season , but together we'll see it thru .

 

[FFC Mariner]

Has he been to a game since the banner and the chants?

I do feel sorry for MC too but surely he knows full well how 8 losses in a row after 6 years of mostly spoons is going to go down with the fans right? Emotionally, negatively and irrationally is all that could be expected.
From MC's point of view it's not ideal but surely expected.

 

[Ancient Mariner]

It is starting to appear that he has been out of his depth for some time.

 

[jacobsfl]

Would MC be interested in an interview with the pod?

 

[Coast Football Ramble]

Back at it again this afternoon. Send us through any questions you might have!

 

[BrisRecky]

Since the season has been, spooned and coronered , you think Staj should just chuck in some young guys for shits and giggles

 

[jacobsfl]

Would I be right in saying that coronavirus is a good thing for us?
