Mariner stuff not worthy of a whole thread

I'm starting to get fed up with this oily tick snitch, likely doing more harm than good with half truths

Secret Agent: Mariners force players to hand over phones
November 13, 2015 3:49am
The Secret Agent has been poking his head around the Central Coast Mariners camp once again, revealing an incredible revelation regarding players' mobile phones.
I promise you I am not Mariners bashing, but get a load of this:
I understand all players were recently asked by management, and club captain Nick Montgomery to hand over their mobile telephones.
The reason behind this is because management want to know who is informing the Secret Agent of all the in-house debacles!
We understand half the players have succumbed to the pressure while the other half are refusing to comply.
The order it seems is coming from assistant coach John Hutchinson, who is the major force behind these requests. Hang on… got to go… my phone’s ringing!

A young players mum told me it was to keep them focussed. More a move to keep the young minds switched on maybe?

I wish I could get my employees to hand in their phones then maybe they would remember they were here to work.

I wonder if "The Secret Agent" could do a bit of snooping around, perhaps use his/her 'deep throat' contact and find out how a team that he describes as destroying itself internally and racked with divisions could possibly play with such incredible spirit and passion...

Impressive. This guy keeps trying to add 2 and 2 and getting 437. Secret agent for football gutter scoops in the HAL? Lol. Why on earth does he bother.

... perhaps use his/her 'deep throat'contact and find out how a team that he describes as destroying itself internally and racked with divisions could possibly play with such incredible spirit and passion...

At a guess, I'd say this guy prefers to swallow than spit.

. perhaps those responsible for the supposed internal division are no longer in a position to cause aforementioned divisions

. they may not even be in a position to provide 'inside information' nowadays

. or is that too obvious a conclusion to jump to?

Seems like something unpleasant is going on.

*If true*, asking for phones and phone records is problematic. If a person refused, there'd be an interesting discussion...

From Sam Djodan:

CCM and FFA have launched joint investigation after tactics were leaked before SFC game. Leadership group called for phones to be handed in, "line in the sand" style. NOT management or MC. Majority of group have agreed

Holy F***! That's a hell of a lot bigger than commenting on the mood in the locker room that is!

 

[dibo]

Yeah, OK, that's f**ked.

Whoever it is, don't let the door hit your arse on the way out.

 

[VicMariner]

Not just betraying the club but team mates too. Disgraceful.

 

[rbakersmith]

CORRECTION: The FFA is running the investigation, but CCM has provided all of its info.

Actually, in my shock, I didn't read it through thoroughly enough obviously... If the "Leadership group" means senior players and coaching staff, that could almost be seen as a slightly positive thing ... I mean, it's negative that the situation is even a thing, but I suppose a positive spin is that obviously they care enough to want that resolved, rather than just letting it slide and muddling along the way they did last season.... Might mean that it really is down to individual bad elements, rather than general dissatisfaction.

If one was to look for a light somewhere that is

 

[dibo]

Good to hear FFA involved. They can deal with any integrity issues, breaches of contract and breaches of competition rules, deliver a report back to CCM with recommendations and Bob's your uncle.

Has Bosnar written all over it

Has Bosnar written all over it

Except he's gone - wouldn't they have long-since buried this thing if it was him?

 

[dibo]

They might be able to renege on compensation if he's breached his contract.
