    Ok maybe I should have rephrased that better. Compensation as part of a release clause is standard fare. It's won't be anything decent though.

    When he signed with the Jets you can bet this Korean deal was on the table. Petratos' manager would have insisted on an out clause for an OS deal.
    Our compensation will come through means of splitting the transfer fee. As is standard practice with players who break a pre-contract agreement.

    We will probably end up signing him anyway when he gets released by the Koreans. Wonderful business.

    So he has maybe ~10-20 games left to play for Roar, vs 2-3 seasons with the jets....

    But Roar are the ones that get to OK the transfer? Did Jets have any say?

    I hope the transfer fee split reflects the x games commitment at roar vs the 2-3 seasons commitment he made to Jets.

    I'm sure we can overpay a wheelbarrow or bean bag in order to get the same experience.

    So our recruitment record under the esteemed leadership of Lawrie McKinna and Mark Jones is

    • Offer a contract to Tom Glover and Ante Covic as an injury replacement........and we get rejected

    • Sign an injury replacement.........and the FFA has to tell us he is ineligible and must wait until the transfer window

    • Offer another contract to Ante Covic..........and we get rejected again

    • Ring every local goal keeper in town until one answers the phone to board a plane that evening, so to avoid fielding a 15 year old keeper

    • Sign an 18 year old injury replacement from the NYL, albeit has worked out ok

    • Offer a 31 year old a 2 & 1/2 year deal on rumoured to be 300-400k a season.......only for the 31 year old to break down

    • In an effort to sign anyone half decent, we offer 3 year terms and employ the equivalent of George Weah's cousin to seal the deal, just to have him walk out on the deal leaving us with George Weah's cousin.


    Hope I haven't missed anyone.

    Would seriously like to know what good things that Lawrie has supposedly done in his time at the helm other than his trump esq twitter engagment

    So let's just get a couple of things straight here.

    The coach other than research and telling the club whom he wants signed or let go is responsible for this how??

    Jones says I want player x
    It then up to club to get the deal across the line

    Hey bag the Gypo out all you like he more than fair game here.


    But if Jones is up to his nuts responsible for the signing of players and is at fault here for these run of outs as you put it.
    Then may is suggest the Gypo is to blame for not getting Jones out of this role at the club

    Maybe he would be better pressed at this point in time in actually teaching our mid field to do their job better so our back 4 are not so much under the pump

    If you read a bit more closely, you can see I am directly blaming Mckinna for not signing the players. But the coach and his actions are a large part of why a player would or would not sign for a club.

    I don't see players lining up to play under Jones. You only have to look at how he was slammed in the press over the weekend for his unprofessional public comments about Kokko. That doesn't go unnoticed by the players or their managers.

    Your first sentence says recruitment under McKinna and Jones

    You may be laying the boot into the Gypo but your having a cheap shot at Jones with your petty agenda you have

    Hey just calling it as it is

    It is under those two....... but McKinna is responsible for signing them and Jones is responsible for attracting players who want to play for him. And they don't.

    Or maybe its just a big coincidence we can't seem to recruit anyone to the club.
