Mariner stuff not worthy of a whole thread

[Corsair]

Honestly for me in wondering why the f**k it too this long?

Dude is a very successful businessman owns a huge company and is trying to run a football club without a sponsor.... Was a no brainer and if I'm any of these hundreds of businesses he allegedly pleaded to, my first question would have been, why isn't your business invested?

Wait and see if we started winning some games?

 

[turbo]

Agreed. I’d suggest he’s trying to keep things ticking over financially while taking huge personal losses. He’s already stated we need 8k at games to break even and that’s not happening. At some point the Coasties need to decide if they want an ALeague team here or extra sponsors need to be found.

The more I think about it I don’t understand the 8k figure. I’m a member, this season I’ve added another and will likely add another next season. They’ve got my money, what difference does it make if I show up?

100%, a KPI like 2,000 extra paid tickets would make more sense or a certain number of members.

How does everyone see this? Doomsday people saying Rich has one foot out the door and only investing professionally or going the all in route investing personally and professionally

My first thought was no one is prepared to pay so may as well fill it with your own business but who knows. Creative accounting is for sure part of it but basically there isn’t a better offer to put there

This. Rather than loans that aren't deductible. Turn it into a sponsorship that is.

An interesting take from Jackson's post game presser, Fazz is our only player on the Asian Cup stand by list

Not sure who else would make the cut from our current squad to be fair

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere but just saw it so thought I’d post it here.

NPL gig perhaps or trying his luck O/S?

February’s gonna be fun…

3 Feb - Adelaide Away
6 Feb - Wellington Away
10 Feb - Sydney Home
12/13 Feb - Phnom Penh Home
18 Feb - Wanderers Home

5 games in 2 weeks ?

Chuck in a potential trip to Macarthur on the 21st if we beat Phnom Penh and Vuck Away on the 25th for good measure. Mental.

Do you think we will ask to get the Sydney game moved because 2 days potentially is just not doable without throwing out kids

Adelaide to Wellington in a couple of days is dumb in itself

 

[FFC Mariner]

Fun fact: Google tells me there are no direct flights between Adelaide and Wellington.
Effectively 2 country towns so hardly surprising

They don’t want the serial killers being able to fly anywhere direct

So you’re saying squad management will be crucial across this period……….

Yeah that’s a bit nuts and it looks like the Wellington game is the odd one out as it’s a reschedule or something weird about round 12. But yeah moving that Sydney game would make a lot of sense.

Sounds like a good opportunity for the fan engagement committee or whatever it's called to voice an opinion to the powers that be on scheduling.
