Mariners Squad 2023/2024

when are the boys officially back for preseason? Late next month or early august?

Theo has some mentality issues to resolve. Needs to learn to play more selfless football and time when to be a greedy bugger.

BUT him being back and in the gym early gets browny points in my book.

Needs a goal then he'll settle down

 

[Corsair]

It hasn’t been officially announced yet has it.

No, do you think it's still possible he'll stay? It seems like a done deal but it'd be awesome if he stays...

He is literally half way there. He is in Japan currently. He’s not coming back.

I thought they only had 6 weeks off so it has to be mid - late July?

I thought he (cumdog) was going to India.

The Australia Cup draw is on this Wednesday so they might be back earlier.

Although I think Silvera can excel in Europe, he needs to find a team that can distribute, Heart looked particularly bad at controlling the 2nd third last year.

Just look at Garang. he was forced to drop extremely deep just to pick up the ball when he wished to attack last year, because distribution was non-existent.

I'm not saying Silvera doesn't have the quality to attack from deep, it's just it should be an option, not the norm.

I heard last week of July is official start. Could be wrong though

He's always going to be a CCM hero for mine.

But I genuinely don't think he'll be back. In 2 years he'll have other options, and dropping the money so much would be hard. Also there is next to zero chance, IMO, that Monty will be here then. I'd think he'd be more inclined to rejoin Monty than CCM, but you never know, he does seem to love living here

He may have very few options after two seasons jogging around in that league. Haven't seen many go to India and come out better, just older and slower. Agree on your Monty view point.

I feel as though Monty’s family will have the biggest say on whether or not they’ll be on the coast or overseas in 2 years time.

Tbh i would love to see Cummings return down track but realistically that may not happen im not even sure we will see Cummings back in aleague tbh

 

[Ironbark]

It'll depend on the option. He's been very open about wanting to coach at the highest level, and in wanting to to coach Sheffield one day.

I personally think he is better off here for another year first either way...we are definitely better off the longer he stays

We will have him for more than a year IMO. Look how long it took Ange to finally get a crack at a top league and to be honest how Ange goes may very well influence what eventually happens. If Ange tanks at Spurs then Aussie managers are on the scrap heap again, if Ange does well then it may change perceptions a little. You need to be tried and tested before walking into a top league, Ange had to succeed here, national level, Japan and then Scotland and many are still questioning his appointment.

Mont has only two years under his belt and one successful year in Oz. I very much doubt he is walking into a top league any time soon. First he needs to build a dynasty in the A League like Ange did. Why take off now to another country and league he is not familiar with nor does he have the youth he wants coming through the ranks.

We are jumping at shadows that all the good players and our very good coaching team and going to leave this off season or the next 12 months for better options. I don't think we need to be so scared of the shadows.

For starters, GF hatty which set a new season goals record for the club is a tough act of heroism to follow!

I was a bit more disturbed when Monty and Cummings joined the panel post-match, where Monty quipped something "he'll probably come back as a marquee and we won't be able to afford him". I'd be devastated to see him in another A-league shirt. Hopefully the Coast vibe, 'Our Paradise', the club's culture and he (and Hannah's) love of living at Terrigal will be enough to sway him because there'll be better payday offers.

My point was simply that I expect him to stay another year, but when the right strategic move comes along he'll be taking it because his ambition is well documented.

I know from someone within the club that he already has some pretty lucrative offers in front of him, including from other ALeague clubs. One of those would make him the highest paid manager in the league. But as far as I know he's not taking it.

To be honest another year like this one and the offers will grow. Sergio has some solid contacts so there are more options for the pair than just Scotland or similar I'd imagine

17 July I believe
