To be quite clear, Marc was not sacked from Merewether. The change of coach was due to Marc's change of work circumstances (howzats change of ownership), which he was later able to work around for Southy.
Marc has a long history with Merewether, and we hope to see him involved with the club again at some point in the future.
Apparently when facing a mass player exodus merewether found it easier to move the coach as opposed to finding a new first grade squad decided to move the coach on instead...
And some less than savoury comments towards the younger members in the side at south wallsend was the beginning of the end. The fact he tried to jump ship mid season but couldn't find anywhere to land was probably a good indicator he was on his way out. Goodluck to him turning a squad of 700 into 11 each week. You'd almost feel sorry for some of the girls who are promised the world every week...
AT the end of it all until players actually register it can all be a bit of a puzzle anyway, and pre-season will soon see the usual movements as well as players find they aren't in the top 11 or aren't comfortable with a particular coach.
At the end of the day FFA & Northern need to open up registration for the top divisions far earlier than January so commitments can at least be made between players and clubs.
