Totally agree. Midfield should be top priority. Lot of decent Aussies lookin for a club. Holland, Carle, Kilkenny, Amini, Murdocca, La Rocca, Kalmar.....Quote:

Interesting, considering i dont rate him
Not a big fan either but I wish Jimmy good luck. Still think Gary should get a gig within either the youth squad or at least a technical director role. Blokes being wasted in his current position... Yes, I am serious.
Pascoes top priorities IMO is to get cowburn on a senior deal, and throw money at dimitrejevic
Just to clear up the confusion that a lot of people have on facebook and possibly on this forum. Pascoe is not interim coach. He is just doing admin stuff under the title Football Operations Manager that Nic Deluca did before he left for family reasons - "The former Hunter Sports High Director of Sport and FFA A-License coach will assist with the planning and development of the team’s pre-season campaign, player recruitment, and Hyundai A-League compliance matters."
Im well aware of that. But if u read it, it says he will assist in planning pre-season and PLAYER RECRUITMENTQuote:

I think there is little chance we will sign anyone until the coach is announced unless the coach to be has already stated their approvalQuote:

This is a precursor to a coach being appointed I believe because we need to get the ball rolling immediately on recruitment as soon as a coach is announced and we need someone to get the deals sorted once he identifies who he wants. With everything going on at the club, it's probably too much to expect Murphy to deal with that along with everything else as well. I would hope a coach will be announced in the next 7 days.
From what ive heard, Mannion was offered a significantly lower deal instead of like for likeQuote:

every bloke in the HAL we try to sign will all ask the exact same question first; who's the coach going to be?Quote:

Interesting... Hopefully this means he has come to terms with his ego. Nobody in Europe wants him. We do.Quote:

Something that is becoming worrying is our options at right back.
Nev is gone.
People think Mullen can play there, which he isn't suited to and his spell in the hal at wsw there proved it.
Rumours we're looking at Hoffman to play there!
Sign Cowburn to a senior contract, or somehow convince Risdon to leave Perth, or I'm worried.
GeorgievskiQuote:

Salary Cap of 2.6 million

Carney = 240k
Boogard = 230k
Ki Jee = 200k
Birighitti = 180k
Kennedy = 130k +
Kantarovski = 130k +
Mullen = 130k +
Alivodic = 130k +
Cooper = 90k
Barresi = 55k - 90k
Pavicevic = 55k - 90k
Brennan = 55k - 90k
Marlow = 55k - 90k
So $800k to get 10 - 12 players. That's without a starting striker or a midfield. It's been my biggest concern all along.Quote:

Hence links with Hoffman and the like are about all we can expect
Not to mention that we were closer to 80% spend of the salary cap and that was while griff, madaschi, jaliens, celeski were still here..
Can't really see how all those numbers stack up tbh.
Plus there is no more Neville who would be demanding closer to 120k one would think.
The kanta and bk figures would be the baffling ones, even taking into consideration rises in wages over the years the increments wouldn't add up to those figures.
I am calling horse dung.
Let's be realistic. The FFA pays the salary cap anyway so no problem there. They will try to get nearly a full squad under that cap. This is also where Griff's offer to play for nothing should be investigated.
As for the marquees, if the FFA is confident of getting an ownership transfer within the next couple of months, then they will leave those decisions for them. They won't buy marquees and hand over the bill to the new ownership. The repair job will take a little time.
And I doubt those posted figured as I know BK actually took a reduction on his last deal to stay in Newcastle because of his mothers illness. Closer to 100 rather than 130.
If that is what we are playing our under performing players then what are Victory et al playing their performing teams and how do they stay below the cap?
I'm baffled really. We are gonna need to sign a lot if cheap players eg travis cooper, max burgess, griff(because he chooses to) , Reagan, Lundy and maybe nicky carle and then save some for 3 to 4 decent quality playersQuote:

Let's just see what players we sign in the next 6 weeks and make up our minds then.
