In February of this year, the Central Coast Mariners formalised an arrangement with English football heavyweights Sheffield United an arrangement that now sees the Mariners contribute to a strong worldwide network of football clubs.
Off the field, the partnership between the Mariners, Sheffield United and its existing partner clubs will be evident at the top tier of future club planning.
Mariners Deputy Chairman Peter Turnbull, owner of Turnbull Group Developments, and Sheffield United owner and Chairman Kevin McCabe, have agreed to form a joint venture property company.
The purpose of this joint venture is to secure and develop properties within Australia where a substantial amount of the profits will be utilised for the benefit of the Mariners for decades to come.
These sums can be allocated to the Mariners in the interest of continuing the business of providing opportunities for youth by way of the Mariners Youth Academy and by providing the Mariners with sufficient future capital to continue to expand their business.
On the field, the fledgling Mariners Youth Academy, the only one of its kind in Australia, is set to benefit from an association with one of Europes most highly regarded Youth Academy structures.
[size=10pt]It is intended for the elite members of the Mariners Youth Academy to tour the world to visit its partner clubs in England, Brazil, China and Hungary, providing the Central Coasts best young talents an opportunity to further their football education in a way that is not available to any other group of outstanding young talents in Australia.[/size]
