New coach - now we know

[ScottishMariner]

Not wowed to say the least but hopefully shows more than at MK Dons.

 

[Allreet?]

WTF?

Hugely underwhelmed but if Simmo gave his thumbs up (for real) then I'll reserve judgement and hope for the best...

Jeez...

 

[Allreet?]

You'd think anyone really good in England would be staying in England... but what would I know?

 

[Roger the Cabin Boy]

Jesus f**king Christ

I'm not sure that I can honestly encourage friends and family to become members this year.

 

[crock]

In his defence he inherited a dumpster fire at MK.

I'll give him a chance but he won't have alot of rope, he's inhereted a great team..

Absolutely they were probably already likely to get relogated when he joined them

 

[adz]

Well yeah, it does

What I mean is, Monty had 2 years left on his contract and was allowed to walk. It could be 1 year or 100 years and we will get the same result.

MJ’s birthday is this Saturday. Hopefully the corks will be popping in Gosford. Who knows - maybe he’ll turn out to be a great gift for the Mariners.

 

[Huddo]

Good burn under it.

 

[Meerkat]

Classy. Wilshire may have actually managed to scuttle deeper within the dumpster fire. Tough call though.

Some of the reactions around the place are a bit dramatic. I’m interested to see what he can do with the squad but if he doesn’t put up a solid run in Asia as well as at least being in or damn close to the top 6 by finals the obvious question will be whether Cahn should have got a shot. Let’s hope it doesn’t haunt us.

Where 2 of the 6 games he won were against the worst side in the league?
Ugly and effective I can happily live with.
Ugly and losing would be a disaster.
All that GF goodwill just pissed away

Not trying to be argumentive, it may have seemed that way sorry. Was a genuine question.
I agree, if he isn’t the right choice… last season is totally evaporated in the memories of alot of people.
But in reality, his coaching journey is not too different from Monty’s. Only difference being he’s had 1 senior gig already.
He’s quoted as saying his philosophy is front foot dominate football. I’ll hold him to his word for that. He has no choice but he committed to youth, here.

This is probably going to piss Ben Cahn fans off….
Yes, on paper given his history with the club. Ben was a great candidate. His NPL track record is good and all. But would those Ben Cahn fans put their mortgages on a guarantee that he would be a success and continue the upward trajectory? No. No one would. No one would do the same for this new bloke, whom we know nothing genuine about except a few interviews and articles. And that’s the point.
But is this new blokes resume as a youth coach better? Yes. Would he have better connections in the UK for potential visa signings that Ben? Most likely. I’d say yes off face value. Have we seen this new blokes tactical philosophy on paper? No.
We’ve seen he set a team up to desperately fight relegation in a shit league.
Ben Cahn didn’t get the job. Move on.
Back this bloke until he proves we shouldn’t.
We can predict it’ll be a shit fight all we want (based off one bad gig at f**king MK Dons who were always getting relegated) but who’s to say it’ll turn out that way.

The instant hate is bemusing.

 

[Jimmy]

Despite my earlier profanity.
I'm really interested to see what happens this season now.
He's got most of a successful side from last year.

How will he go fitting those players in his system?

Either way. It should be entertaining.

 

[Nik Mrdjas Disco Bikkie]

I don’t care if he wins the treble, Ben Cahn would do it better, for cheaper and being way more handsome at the same time.

Called beaten dog syndrome.

Old mate Mark has to win us haters over. He gets 15 rounds. Clocks ticking Mark.

Would be the same for any new manager especially after the success we just had

 

[Stuartmcateer]

Football manager??? So he is the new eSports representative???

I feel whelmed.
