National Youth League Fixtures and Mariners youth team discussion

Did not see that coming. Struggling to work out the logic behind it. Giving him all of post season and part of pre season and then release. Can only think it must be a change to work in with the plans of the new boss.

MJ might not have been established enough and had enough pull to be able to do it earlier. Wasn’t that long ago we were questioning if he’d make it to Christmas

Abbas Saab gone. Not sure of details but understand it wasn’t mutual.

Club found out he has never worked at Leeds.

Wow interesting timing.

Thought he did really well last season

He’s gone, I’m sure it will come out in time

Great coach and a fantastic human. Wish him the best wherever he goes. Punting him 5 weeks out from the season is baffling, but this is the academy who punted Christo, Bayliss x2, Segreto, Hammond, and Kasalovic, so while I’m hugely disappointed, I’m very rarely surprised anymore.

 

[Ozhammer]

If the club carries on doing things like this, it is likely to end up with an unwanted reputation, so I really hope they know what they are doing…..

I’m pretty massively against conspiracies etc and try my best to hope the club is doing the right things… but they’ve made some seriously questionable calls in regards to the academy in the last 18months or so. Even I’m getting concerned..

Releasing certain players who aren’t at the age cap and are known to want to stay and certainly good enough, they’ll want to have some mighty upgrades signed instead..
Abbas rescued the academy last season, I was happy for him to be the senior team boss! They’ll want to have a hugely respectable replacement to ease concerns.

So we forfeit the AFC Cup as we have no one with a Pro License?

. I believe Jacko may be close to gaining his?

Correct

 

[priorpeter]

Was 2 modules away from completion last I heard.

May be enough to gain an exemption. That qualification could have been the reason to hold off until now.

Wasn’t enough to gain an exemption previously so won’t be now. AFC are sticklers for playing by their rules.

 

[Ozhammer]

Do we know what badges Danny Schofield holds?

I've got no doubts about the pettiness of the AFC but can't see the club not having that issue sorted out before executing the decision. I have to believe we're smarter than that these days.

We stumped up for lobster for breakfast. The AFC will turn a blind eye. ?

 

[pjennings]

So MJ has a month to complete 2 modules before our next AFC Cup game.

I listened to a YouTube interview with MJ today where he seems to intimate that he is very interested in all levels of the club. I expect he and Schofield will be heavily involved with the NPL team as well.

 

[Spacks]

bruh link the interview cmon now

Living on the edge of danger then.

All seemed to start after Peil came on board.

Could be a coincidence

Is there a chance the U20’s coach, Portuguese fellow who’s name escapes me right now, could be given the head coach gig? Very well liked and quite a good coach from all accounts..
