McKinna is a gateway drug. Once you get a hit of him in your system the next thing you're begging for some Hutcho or Vukovic.
I'm only trying to save you from yourselves.
Money wasn't the worst.Quote:

hang on, he's *our* prodigal son - he was one of us, left us only to be lured by the caravan lights of Gypposford, realised the error of his ways and came back to us - it's a love story really...
He played 7 times for the Breakers.Quote:

Why would you want to model yourselves on a club with no trophies and no money?
Kinda hope Laurie convinces Hutcho to join our coaching staff just to watch Membah and Plague self combust.
I doubt we will self combustQuote:

I'm just out here trying to prevent suckers from giving this rabble of shit and minute of your time and a dollar from your pocket.
I can only do so much though. If you wanna get played, then off you go. Good luck with it all.
The bloke has helped two clubs (spirit and CCM) build strong connections to its fanbase and local business community in the death nells of the nsl and the start of the a-league.
Faux hatred is so passé.
Hate on him when he acts against us as one of us. Not for when he acted against us as one of them. He was doing his job and doing better than anyone at our club in similar roles ever has.
The constant unfounded negativity is one reason we've always struggled to be bigger than we have been, too many from within dragging things down. It's all over the club it's all over newy, don't dare stick your head out, it'll get shot off. Fans aren't excluded from this problem. This bullshit negativity has already been mentioned in the media and does nothing to help the club grow to what it truly could be. Support for st have to be based on blind faith, but death riding a lone before he's even been announced is pathetic.
**** me surely with the shit dished out in recent years we've already "self combusted". Scared if it can get worse.. Is that even possible?

What you want him to come in and finish the job on us do you??
With his track record of involvement with building community clubs we would be staring down the barrel of being kaput ourselves
Ok. What have you done with the member? This post makes way too much sense.Quote:

Why can't we get some of the Melbourne Victory or Adelaide chaps, they seem to be doing quite well.
You know who else thought he was just doing his job?Quote:

Now we looking at bringing in a bloke who has on his CV run a council on the Gypo Coast and helped establish a football club that is dead and helped establish a football club that is terminally ill.
How about we actually aim higher and appoint someone who has something to actually offer positive??
Instead of signing any old person to perform a highly important role that guides our clubs success on and off the pitch

You are right about one thing, after McKinna left his previous posts the whole thing turned to sh*t because he was the only one who knew how to run a football club, when they lost him they crashed and burned so all the more fools they were for letting him go. Surprisingly we have gone for years crashing and burning but having our asses pulled out of the flames one way or the other, it's about time they put someone in charge who can do the job competently - so on this election day I'm voting one L McKinna for CEO of the Jets and new Lord Mayor of Newy, go Lozza...Quote:

Since then he's been mayor of Gosford for four years (a record) and has brought back development to the coast, spent millions on developing football parks (and roads etc) and turned the council's finances around from being 8 mill in the red to 36 mill in the black.
He knows what he's doing and throws himself heart and soul into anything he takes on.
Before you hate him too much, don't forget that passion is for the fans. Not so much for the professionals (like players, administrators and coaches) for whom football is a job.
I learned my lesson when I hated on Arnie when he was announced at CCM. It only took him two matches to turn me around.
I'd just like to ask who from the footballing fraternity of Northern NSW would be a better pick that McKinna?

I'd love to see Lawrie McKinna back at the Mariners but if he can't be there I'd rather see an excellent football man like LM be used to help the league than wither on the vine.
That's why I was interested to see how the Jets forum was responding to the news he might be involved. For the same reason I lurked a while on the SFC forum when Arnie was announced as coach there. The death riding was far more bitter there, but they came around.
Less happy with him now though.

McKinna has Zero experience rebuilding a club! His CV is as impressive as the last few guys, which has gone about as well as we all know. Essentially all those saying that he is the man for the job have as much credibility as those saying he isn't. It's a gamble, plain and simple.
We are currently uncompetitive and unprofitable, we need big changes not a little but of community engagement. Our new CEO doesn't have to be a football guy, they just need to be able to fix our club.
But he is definitely a Gypo and thus a scumbag, so stuff him. :deadhorse:

I am not taking you to a casino anytime soon Gaz. Being negative may not help but being positive won't help either, that's why it's called a gamble instead of an educated guess. I'd much rather expect the lovely lady to take my money and then trudge away when the inevitable happens than be crushed when i don't leave with 1 pocket full of money and the other overflowing with pussy... It's called being a realist.Quote:

That's my opinion, that's also the point of this thread.
If you want to fap over Mckinna start an appreciation thread. I'll keep my 'negative' comments over here waiting for plague to come back over to the swingset so we can hang out and throw stones at the coasties streaming new episodes of GOT over the Maccas free Wi-Fi...
