    I'd just like to ask who from the footballing fraternity of Northern NSW would be a better pick that McKinna?

    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.

    seriously my man, why the **** are you here?

    I hate this club and this club hates me. These things were establish many years ago.

    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.
    I've been here since 1978 and seen it all so I think I know what I'm typing. Certainly not the omnipotent, maniacal ramblings you boys are going on with.....ffs.

    Don't like it? There's the front door....go watch NRL.

    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.

    Fair enough question.

    This may be hard to believe but I'm a fan of the league before any club and just want to see it survive and even flourish. Which means I want to see every club do well (to the extent that is possible).

    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.

    I mean SFC paid cash money for failure.
    how their board thought otherwise is a whole different matter.

    fans were right then and right now.

    I was born in 1912 in a barn outside of cornwall to eskimo parents who were also founding members of the Beatles... Therefore everything i type from here on out is blown straight from own arse, just like everything else posted on this forum.

    I had a big rant typed up but decided to make it a bit more succinct.

    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.

    Agreed.

    Perpetual negativity isn't likely to help the gamble pay off though.

    But you're acting like the club even cares what the fans think.

    Our opinions or demeanour doesn't move the needle one bit.

    May as well have a larf about it along the way.

    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.

    Also, calling out the person that has been nominated as not being good enough isn't perpetual negativity. It's called not accepting everything thrown in our faces. If he comes in and does well than i will be happily proven wrong, but nothing so far has been put forward that makes me think he will excel in this position. 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...
