Central coast racked up approx $550 million in debt before an administrator was appointed. Lawrie was Mayor for 4 years 4 years before this happened....
I’m not saying he’s entirely to blame, but jeez, he doesn’t have a good business record...
As for Deans, he’s signed quite a few players, Duncan, the Indonesian, the guy from Malaysia, Yuel, AP, Prso, Abbas. That’s near enough to a third of the squad, I don’t buy the “not his squad” excuse.

Yeh, look, appreciate it was a nice gesture to put in his “own money”. Also agree that all this rubbish happened with him at the helm.
Wouldn’t surprise me if it was a bit of PR ahead of his caravan business on the coast, or whatever venture he’s undertaking there. Bit of a Bad look to have racked up significant debt in previous positions. Putting in some of your own money looks a little better for the gullible coasties parting with their food stamps.
As for Deans. I think he showed enough in the early parts of the season to warrant a shot at gig. Was getting some good results and performances.
Has he convinced me he deaerves another year to put his mark on things? Not at all yet.
New coach, 2 year contract, only allowed to sign players to 2 years unless approved by club Eg local or upcoming olyroo/socceroo, be on track to make finals midway through season 2 or sacked, make finals, extension.
Seems some clubs seem to be able rustle up a new team, new coach and compete, whereas we end up resorting to not my team excuses.
New owners need to put their money on the line to prove to supporters and potential sponsors that they are investing. Otherwise, people have been burned too many times. How many “new dawns” have we had? Same story.
Uga's back injury stems from carrying our midfield since 2016.

Up for the game tonight. Missed the last 2 games with commitments so somewhat keen.
Anyone from the foz making the game?
Somehow we are favourites too.
I can't make it.
I won't be able to make any more games this season. I'm still a fan but I feel let down by the Deans decision. We need an owner ASAP.
If Millar starts tonight I'd like to see Deans hand him the captaincy as well - so our young fans aren't under any illusions about how much the clubs management hates them.
Going to throw it out there, this will be our line up
Italiano
Miller, topor, Jackson, otoole
Prso, thurgate, remy
AP, Yuel and Roy,
Maybe throw ugga in instead of one of the midfield three?

Reporting in for tonight's edition of gouging my eyes out with a rusty spoon.
Next level kick off. Deans is evolving as a coach.
Deans should be fired for that stupid kick-off routine alone.
It never works.
