Spurs sack Pochettino...........Jets then sack Merrick a few weeks later. Coincidence?
One of the articles says how he would be a good fit for the club because he has experience with a club with no money to spend and that point not lost on our Gypo CEO.
Pretty f^&*(ng sad state of affairs if it were true and one your biggest criteria in a new candidate is there ability for working with nothing. I want to hear from our Gypo CEO what sort of money will be made available to a new manager, This loose change somebody elses fringe bench player like Bert said in his final interview or a reasonable sum of money presumably that was not made available for Ernie.
If the light man does not lift his game and provide " proper " funds then they can sack and hire as many Ernie's and Carl as they like it will make stuff all difference til Martin Lee gets serious again.
I will clarify my statement, Fund it to similar level of season 17/18.
Why should he ?. Because he purchased it and therefore he has a responsibility to do his with it. He knew full well at the time of acquiring the club the situation , He would have done due diligence and have had the right people go over loss & profit statements.
Everything you cite about the leagues shortcomings and i agree totally with you are not a new phenomenon yet he still signed up to the cause, That is why.
You are also assuming that the info and BS FFA and Gypo CEO have fed him was 100% accurate
History says judging by the BS Lowy sold Tinkler Palmer etc that the cartel operators have a long history of conning investors
What makes you think they told the Chinese Lightsalesman the truth ??
His stance on cuttingfunds and putting the club on the market may well be straight up down to being sold a lemon
That's crap. Only an idiot would be spending any extra money on an A League team right now. And don't forget, Martin Lee doesn't owe you or I anything. If anything, we owe him for spending his money to keep us with a team to support.
Until they start running things in a profitable way he should be spending the bare minimum to keep us afloat. With the FFA out of the picture hopefully this happens soon. There's a market there if they cut out the salary cap and let clubs spend as little or as much as they like to be profitable. I'll go watch the league whether it's full of Ronaldo's or Hoole's, just don't charge me Ronaldo ticket pricing for Hoole quality players.
What gets me about this. And it's just not football specific but applies to all of the codes. Why are they so poor?
When you consider the superior television coverage that the football codes have. They all scream poor. Yet a Supercar team can spend up to 10 million per year. I know that Kelly Racing received 3 Million per year for hiring Simona De Silvestro. That's 12 million per year (4 car team) plus development costs (they were a homogolator)
Certain people are obviously putting themselves first before the good of the game.
Sorry but your excuse for Martin Lee is crap. The excuse that the club and the A League are a basket case and therefore he gets a free pass for being a tight ass is utter Bullshit.
You saying the A League and our club were honky dory at the time of his purchase ?.
The A League was and our club for that matter were a basket case at the time he purchased it yet he went in with open eyes and still signed on the bottom line. Blaming the league for Martin's being a tight ass is a crock, The League IS and HAS BEEN been struggling long before Martin Lee came along.
If he did not like the environment his potential purchase was going to be operating in he could have kept his money in his pocket.
You would think it's probably a done deal now with Robinson given he has toured Newcastle and is going to watch tonight's game in Melbourne. A bad performance may change his mind though.
I wonder if Carl and Darren Davies know each other?
I've heard some good news.
