Central Coast Mariners calling an extraordinary meeting of shareholders next week as the club is in almost $9 million of debt.
Meeting is for CCM and their lawyers to give an ultimatum: either shareholders put more money into the club, or they will be forced to liquidate.

Read that there has been tension the past few weeks between Okon and Hoole. Prob resulted in Hoole not being selected against Roar.

Glad we got rid of him!!

Okon is king of drama, apparently. Went on some podcast and rambled on about how terrible the fitness regime at the club was when he arrived and no one knew players BMI's or skinfolds or performance data. Former club doc/physio came out with a statement of "yeah, that's BS and Paul is a lying wanker". Sauce: https://www.reddit.com/r/Aleague/comments/7tiluz/ex_ccm_phyisodoctor_on_paul_okon/

Tried to find out some more information on this and there was a post ont he Coasties forum that the local radio station believed there was a blow up, which supports your theory. And it was believe d he wouldn't play again this season.

The poster said jets fans were probably laughing at them.

Thing is, we were laughing the day they signed him and haven't stopped since.

I have known their former Strength and Conditioning coach for going on 2 decades and he is one of the most honest and professional people you would ever come across. On the weekend he posted about it calling out Okon for BS and attached reams of screenshots of all sorts of the sort of data that Okon said did not exist (obviously without the names of players visible). Okon is starting to feel the pressure and is starting to try and throw mud everywhere and hope that some of it will stick on someone other than himself

It definitely does appear this way..
Okon looks like he has the weight of the world on him and feels the only way to deal with it is to blame anyone/everyone else..

After Brama's "tackle" and subsequent send-off, all I could think of was "surely Okon can't blame the ref for that one, so who is he going to sh!t on this time to clear his own name??"

His evolving story this year has been interesting to watch, that's for sure. From "Horses", to his post F3 derby press conference, his sidenline antics following Delbridge's challenge against City - it seems it all comes back to bite him. His responses haven't been what I'd call considered - they've been very....dramatic?

[380]

Criminal i'd say.

[Jetmaster]

Hilarious how he ran on and got stuck into Aloisi and Gameiro after the game as if accusing them of cheating. Aloisi handled it well.

As for Hoole - well Nux beckons. That said if he blows CC, he's close to finished and sadly going down the Hearfield/Stuey road.

Brisbane, maybe. I couldn't see him at Adelaide.

In the last 4 seasons he has been at 4 clubs (granted 2 were the jets, but you get what I mean) and can quickly be labelled a journeyman. There have been questions around his attitude at all of these clubs - would another be likely to take a punt? I'm not convinced.

Don't forget in his recent spell with us, we offered him a contract extension.

And that in his first stint with us was player of the year and the club didn't want him to leave.

And the questions about his attitude with us in the recent tenure were under head coach Mark Jones, a dude we probably won't see head coach in the AL again.

[la bazzle]

And the questions about his attitude with us in the recent tenure were under head coach Mark Jones, a dude we probably won't see head coach in the AL again.

Questions about his attitude came from anyone who watched him play for 5 mins, particularly if things weren't going his way. I know you've got a hard on for anything that worms it's way south of Swansea but he's done nothing but be on the verge of being decent for 4 years now (is that how long he's been playing in the aleague?).

But the question about his attitude were also under Graham Arnold, a bloke who is doing quite well as a coach, and now Paul Okon.

Yeah we offered him a contract - i'll give you that. And I will acknowledge he was player of the season but note that was in a Stubbins team that were nothing short of diabolical.

[Jetmaster]

Attitude is the thing - he believes he is a better player than he is. That maybe down to his own self belief or more likely the agent that his him under the thumb.

He refused to sign the same contract Vuj and Johnny K signed because of big dreams pontificated by said agent that soon afterwards turned to dust. We offered him a chance and he spurned it to take a step backwards.

He does not handle pressure well at all and frequently falls apart on the field before your eyes once things go wrong - he falls over his own feet and can't deliver the simplest set pieces. I'm thinking this is a dummy spit in response to Wales getting the set piece gig recently.

Arnie couldn't do anything with him and had he stayed Ernie would have him on the list now as well.

He may get another club but it will be on the cheap and would have to be an experienced coach who will slap him across the chops and tell him to wake up to himself. It would be his last chance.

He actually declined the contract Jackson and Ugarkovic signed with a release clause contained within.

That was the sticking point. He didn't want the release clause at the amount it was so the club withdrew the offer.

So Mulvey thinks the Mariners are ‘a sleeping giant.’ It’s fair to say Mulvey has absolutely no ****ing idea what that means because there is NOTHING that suggests the Mariners will ever be a powerhouse in Australian football. No history, **** all fans, **** all money, and no real ability to expand on anything at all.

[plague]

a sleeping giant turd that will never wake up innit?

as part of the A-League capital cities only expansion plan they really need to move the Mariners franchise to the other side of the Hawkesbury (they'll still be shit, but at least they'll be a Sydney team then and get preferential treatment from FFA)...

I bet he struck a line through about 10 of the 11 players who started and then he'll be slowly realising that he only has about 80% of the salary cap to spend to replace them.

Their CEO is apparently pretty good. Charlesworth is their problem. No outside cap spending, no money above the salary floor... they are only spending what they have to under the CBA. Hard to not imagine Mulvey getting the exact same kind of output next season without money... best they can hope for is dire, rigid but organised football like Miller did with us in his season.

Interesting to read that a drinking culture amongst the players had been allowed to develop under Agent Okon which is being blamed as one of the reasons their season turned to rubbish halfway through.

Sorry, got Owner and CEO mixed up.

I heard that somehow they can't even afford to spend the entire salary cap. Not sure how that works given the way the cap is paid by the TV rights deal, but it was mentioned a few times on the CCM forum.

Also, plenty of talk about a drinking culture within the team.

Wasn't Liam Rose being courted by City at one point?

Skapetis looked ok the 2 times I watched him but he mustn't have set the world on fire to be released by the then lowly-placed Roar and then last-placed Mariners. Same with Poscoliero - didn't happen for hm in Perth before moving back to teh Mariners.

Roux is meant to be going to Victory.

Glover, back to Spurs I'd suggest before coming back to Australia.

Bingham has finally been found out. Powell has just fallen off a cliff from his Nix form but could see him at the Wanderers.

A full home and away schedule, even thought there is a bye round. You might wonder if a W-League team is a requirement for teams that have expressed an interest in joining the comp?

You could then read into it that with Canberra already have a W-League team and the addition of 1 more W-League team from the other (say Wollongong) would fill the home and away season. #conspiracy

I was coming here to post the same thing. For him to walk away from an unsackable coaching role like that there must have been something said to him about it.



Basically I read the situation as the final throws of death from the Mariners.

No one outside of Gosford cares about them. No matter how many filthy Gypos played in the national side they never managed to attract any out of state fans to back their cause.
Not many people inside of Gosford care about them. Their attendance is pitiful and is so cheap that they wouldn't turn anywhere near a profit anyway.
The FFA doesn't give a hoot about them. There are stronger fan bases ready to step up.
The owner doesn't want to sell the club because he only owns it as a bargaining tool around town.

They were basically on the canvas waiting for the count to finish. They slowly melt back into the NPL and someone stronger usurps them within the next 3-5 years.

So, I think they have thrown any dignity they may have had hiding inside a mustard flavoured bottle out the window and embraced the fact that the football is so bad in this country that anyone can get paid to play here.

If you really think about it they are actually just hipsters ahead of the rest of us to the fact that the football is going to become so bad in this country that we will just have to make up new rules, ala baseketball, just to attract anyone to come watch.

We will become the new Blernsball from Futurama. But in football form.

We will become the new Blernsball from Futurama. But in football form.

Been saying this for past two seasons now. They bring absolutely nothing to the game and much much less than what a Wolves or ACT outfit could not bring.

Apparently they are trying to sign Aiden O'Neill.. (24 year old Aussie, ex-Brisbane, signed with Burnley, and on loan to Fleetwood I believe)

[halo se7en]

Exactly, even when they punched above their weight for so many seasons, their crowds weren’t that much better than us when we were at our worst.

[Premy]

Heard that CCM may have a trial agianst Rosebuds and that Bolt would probably be playing.

[halo se7en]

Would imagine he'll get thrown up as RW or LW like he played in that charity match recently. No defensive duties, just let him use his physicality and see what he can do in the box. Rightly or wrongly Matt Simon has made an A-league career out of it.

Uzzy just finished his first training session. Herald provided live blog coverage of him stretching his hammies...and thats about it.

Usain Bolt is reportedly seeking a $3 million contract with Central Coast Mariners, should his trial prove successful ahead of the 2018-19 A-League season.

"Usain isn’t here because of the money,” Mariners CEO Shaun Mielekamp told The Daily Telegraph.

[Couscous]

Fu¢king ROFL

[MFKS]

What is a ****ing joke is the FFAs marquee fund

Giving money to Gypos for this shit circus they inflicting on us

More sugar hits as the clueless ****s have no idea about football

[Jetmaster]

Surely a reality film crew is following his every move for a future series.

[MFKS]

Gotta milk that Bolt money with his potential 3 mil contract

Anyone watching "The Trial" tonight...sounds like OJ not Bolt.

Curiously Matt "look at my gonads" Shirvington is on the commentary team.

Circus.

I'd rather watch League.

And I cannot STAND league.

[Couscous]

Really excited this will be streamed on the My Football app!

[Jetmaster]

Its like any other disaster....can't not watch it.

Slater has blown twice already.

Imagine if Simon Hill was on the coverage

[Bremsstrahlung]

I’m trying to sleep for night shift and thought I’d flick over and have a look.
20 seconds in, 1-0 CCM over CC select. Haha. What a farce.

[Jetmaster]

This is bizarre viewing. They are not even describing the match....just Uzzycam and a circle jerk in the box with Adam Peacock ad head commentator.

FFS Slater even said "soccer football".

[Bremsstrahlung]

Yehhh I can’t do that anymore.
It’s basically a panel discussion audio, with visuals of Usain Bolt. Now the commentary is talking about how he is watching the game really well. Now he is warming up.
Joke.
My own fault. Haha

[plague]

Anyone watching that game either at the ground or on TV is helping set football back another generation in this country.

I have to agree. What's next a Micheal Phelps?

[Bremsstrahlung]

Meh, all contributing by conversing about it.
The fact this thread exists is setting us back.

Yeah but if no Gypos then who do we hate

[Jetmaster]

No better than twits who wank over Love Island....anyway, Mario Shabow scored, they had an in depth interview with Hoole and the striker for the other mob is 45 years old.
Enjoying my Maltesers too at halftime.

[plague]

Meh, all contributing by conversing about it.

Then if its all about 'exposure' and 'interest' (FFA's words not yours) then why dont they stage an NRL or AFL game instead. Both those games rate higher on TV than soccer.

Gypos would make way more bank having Richmond v Geelong playing tonight instead of this.

[plague]

Yeah but if no Gypos then who do we hate

Plague?, Member?, Broadmeadow Magic?

Plenty of choices, take yer pick.

[Jetmaster]

Jack Clisby.....yes Jack Clisby, gets a first half hatty.

[belchardo]

the roar (the website, not the team) have a live blog going as well.
