Mariner stuff not worthy of a whole thread

So that's it then. Thank God for that. Put out of our misery for this season.

From the article....“To get so close to completing the competition, only to pull up a few weeks short, has been heartbreaking for the players, clubs and fans.

No, it's not heartbreaking. It's a f**king relief it's over for this season.
Instead of watching the Mariners I can watch a film or something, have a beer and ENJOY watching it.

AND.....we might not officially be awarded the wooden spoon

But if the season is scrubbed we still hold the spoon from last season

The year is 2035 and the Central Coast Mariners are the record wooden spooners of 18 years running since the league was suspended in 2020

'Bizarrely, I think A-League future is good’, says Mariners owner Charlesworth | The World Game

Mike Charlesworth - the A-League owner under the most financial stress - has gazed into a post-coronavirus future, claiming it might offer football the “chance to recalibrate and reset” from ground zero.

This is exactly what I meant the other day when I said I am more hopeful with James Johnson and the Coronavirus than with David Gallop and no Coronavirus.

We don't know what the sporting landscape will look like after the current problems finish. NRL in particular I think will be in real strife as there are a number of clubs not paying their way now even with the media deal money.

Mike's comment '“But, bizarrely, I do think the future is really quite good because there’s an opportunity, finally, to get all the stakeholders together to reboot, reset and recalibrate the whole football economy.' is really along the lines of what James Johnson said the other day.

We all know the current model is not working. As all football has stopped now Johnson, the FFA and the iHAL and the State Associations can 're-imagine' a new football landscape.

If the future is bright then maybe MC should pay his staff instead of shutting the office down and sending staff on their way without wages.

He has received all our membership money and all the sponsorship dollars. Maybe he should look after the people that have bled for him the past few years.

Refuses to pay staff who have done so much for him without basic award conditions like meal breaks, over time being paid proper wages etc etc
They did it because they bleed yellow and blue

He is a dog and represents everything bad about free market capitalism

Mate, if you cannot communicate to us properly there is no need to get upset on us.

That’s two people that misconstrued your post (who posted) so it is probably coming from you.
