ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.
Just hoping he sticks to the ethos the club implemented of signing visa players in the mid to early 20’s hungry to make an impression. Or if it is to be an “experienced” player 30 or older they have to be real quality. No more journeymen.
He was only 18yo but boy did he turn out to be a dud. Playing UK 5th tier with Flyde now.
I watch the Championship alot and they are technically lightyears ahead of us.
Yeah. Our side last year is mid table league 1 at best but not good enough physically.
Given who our manager is probably bottom of league one
Oh for sure, any British type signing I’d expect to be from league 1 or 2. Or even Scotland. Ofcourse that’d be followed by “hahaha signing a league 2 players LOL” from the numpty’s with no clue.
Prefer to take a punt on guys from more technical places and backgrounds than hoofball leagues.
That’s fair enough and also my preference. I’m just saying it’s pretty likely Jacko would look to the UK for reinforcements
Yeah i agree. Said in another discussion the same thing
We do have to be balanced here - Sergio got us Tulio and Nkololo. It also got us Ayongo, Kalechi, Doka and Torres. I think the style of recruitment - looking for gems in leagues other don’t, is sound. But it wasn’t perfect.
Just gotta be aggressive if these sort of guys aren't working. As Monty and Serg were.
I think under Monty and Serge, those two would have been developed a lot better. They saw them as a new Tulio project.
Spot on that a real chance. But they also saw that with Ayongo. The success with Kaltak and Triantis also has to be balanced with the fact they recruited a visa centre back who hardly played (only played injured once from memory when we ran out of players) and was sent packing. So they obviously had visions of Kalechi being a regular or they wouldn’t have wasted a visa on him.
Nothing to b sad about there, brilliant bitta business ?
Like Brazil and Columbia?
Monty said pre season Traintis was a future socceroo and was laughing that he stole him from the drive-bys.
