Patrick who seems to talk

And that's about as far as it goes, apparently...

I'll judge his contribution to NYL player development about half way through season 2

And Patrick's gone:

Central Coast Mariners wish to alert its members, fans and media that the Club has parted ways with former Hyundai A-League star Patrick Zwaanswijk as its Foxtel National Youth League (NYL) Head Coach for the 2014/15 season.

Zwaanswijk, who enjoyed three stellar seasons for the Club as a player between 2010 and 2013, took charge of the Mariners’ NYL side following his retirement from a long and illustrious professional playing career last year.

However, with the Club currently undertaking a review and revamp of its youth football structure, the decision has been made to create a new and more comprehensive youth development position under the title of Head of Youth Football.

The Club’s Head of Youth Football will be responsible for the coaching and development of the Mariners’ Foxtel NYL team, oversee the Club’s youth scouting network, and take charge of the Club’s Academy pathway as technical director.

The Club will seek to fill the position of Head of Youth Football as soon as possible, however only after a thorough recruitment process.

Central Coast Mariners thank Patrick Zwaanswijk for his services to the Club over the past four years.

They're apparently hiring a new head of youth football who will be responsible for "the coaching and development of the Mariners’ Foxtel NYL team, oversee the Club’s youth scouting network, and take charge of the Club’s Academy pathway as technical director".

What odds that Oscar Gonzales winds up in the role?

Warmsley is probably the fav but I'd like to see Gumps get the gig.

If this post on Yellow Fever is to be believed, the role's gone to Stu Jacobs, most recently coach at ASB Youth League side YoungHeart Manawatu:

I am extremely excited to announce that I have accepted a role as Head of Youth at the Central Coast Mariners. The role involves Scouting and developing potential A League players for CCM, Heading up the Foxtel National Youth League program and U20s and U18s. My role will also oversee the CCM Academy U12 - U16s.

Many thanks to everyone who has supported me along my Coaching roller coaster, Locally as well as Internationally.

That sounds more like heading CCMA and the younger players

The bit about

Heading up the Foxtel National Youth League program

certainly doesn't read that way.

It's early. I don't function well early.

A Kiwi; perhaps part of the settlement of the McGlinchey case. You could not get a more opposite appointment to that of Patrick. He has a big responsibility; the NYL and Academy sides, at almost all levels it seems. I confess to being underwhelmed but time will tell if it is a good appointment.

Underwhelmed is an understatement.
It must have been done on a tender basis & that was the lowest tender.

Because CCMA has no U16's,U18's,20's players good enough to warrant a position in NYL? No Mcfarlane, Wales, Forbes', Frame, Ragen,Daniel,Tuddenham,Balneaves,Forster,Wilkinson,Trengrove,Mapu,Buhagier the list goes on.

I haven't seen a list of the players for the NYL and I can't find anything that says the above players won't be included in the NYL (although I doubt all of them will). We signed Jesse Curran last year from Tassie so I expect other players, if thought good enough, to be recruited. The club cannot be exclusive where it recruits from. Some of the players you have mentioned played NYL last year, some will again this year, I have no doubt, but also, some may not make the cut.
What I do like is that there is talent on the Coast and I am sure Moss and Jacobs will be very aware of it.
