We are a reputable source of Mariners information.
Some of the stuff isn't even made up!

Those names were all over Twitter too

Knights play Roar on Sunday...

If Knights loose Ben is free on Monday... if Knights win the final is 7 oct

Imagine after all the names being bandied about some random from overseas would be appointed? That would certainly embarrass plenty of people in the media.

I'm starting to genuinely worry that it is a random from overseas.

How ironic would it be if we miss out on Cahn because he refuses to leave his team when they're on the cusp of an Australia cup final.... Like he has the qualities to put his team before his personal ambitions to become an ALeague coach....

As if it was more important...

Imagine the irony

 

[Corsair]

Lots of imagining going on.

I'd imagine Simmo has his head screwed on enough and sufficient influence for us not to miss out on a coach due to a short delay.

Corsair seems to know what's going on...

I imagine Corsair will emerge as coach. Corsair IS Ben Cahn!

You actually assume Simmo has a proper say in this.

It makes sense though. Why else would they take so long?

Ben Cahn is the blindingly obvious choice. A coa
ch with the legs on him to go further than us.
Sadly I fear CCM are about to do something really stupid and pick someone else.

Scott McDonald ?

 

[crock]

if we cant get cahn then just stick with abbas it seems the players are happy with him so just stick with someone who is already there and knows the culture

I'm Ben Cahn and so's my wife! I'm clueless, holding off on announcing Cahn until after the cup matches would make sense though. Big decision.

Too simple

Occam's razor (also known as the 'law of parsimony') is a philosophical tool for 'shaving off' unlikely explanations. Essentially, when faced with competing explanations for the same phenomenon, the simplest is likely the correct one.

The simple answer is Ben is the perfect fit for us.

The last point not so crucial to the current owner. We have a current churn and burn policy bringing in players when they are seventeen and eighteen from around the country, pressure testing them in NPL, and signing the very few that progress, or selling them overseas early.

Those who start out in the academy from a younger age aren’t getting a look in. Every single one of our 2004 born academy crop are no longer at the club.

Not making judgement on this. This is just the current situation.

Inspired by Spurs fans singing about Big Ange,

”I’m lying in my bed, thoughts running through my head,
we’re champions, not dead
We want Ben Cahn instead

And through it all
we have a title to defend too
without Monty and Sergio
whether that’s right or wrong,

It’s Big Ben Cahn
so RP make it happen
I know that we will back him
so go on make the call
Cos, we just want to know

We got Ben Cahn instead”
