Arnie, you don't live here any more. Stay out of the pantry.

The clubs don't get (publicly) excited about it either. If it were like the UEFA CL and clubs made squillions from participating it'd be a different thing. Our clubs are relatively poor so it's just another expense (...and we're at a massive financial disadvantage).

I think that's more the case, and there's little advertising of it as a result

I don't believe the Asian clubs are much superior to us, we are closing the gap; only the Japanese are noticeably better. From what Gallop said at the Fans' Forums it is likely that FFA and the club will be seeking sponsors to cover the cost of competing - who was that water company last year?

 

[Wombat]

They are superior......and we struggle to play against nippy skilful players.

nippy

It's official http://www.footballaustralia.com.au...isplay/Arnold-confirmed-as-Vegalta-boss/78266

I just hope we get a chance to say sayonara

This friday!

While the game between Moss’s Mariners and Muscat’s Melbourne ought to excite fans, the game will also provide Central Coast aficionados with the opportunity to wish the Club’s former Head Coach Graham Arnold a fond farewell.
At half time of the encounter between the two successful sides the Mariners will make a special presentation to Arnold to recognise his contribution to the Club.
While Arnold is not set to leave Australia to commence his role with J-League outfit Vegalta Sendai until January, Central Coast Mariners Group General Manager, Mr Peter Turnbull, said it is appropriate to honour Arnold at the first available opportunity.
“Graham Arnold has made a telling contribution to the future and history of our football Club,” Turnbull said. “We think it is only fitting that - while Graham’s move to Japan is still fresh - we recognise his amazing accomplishments during his time with the Club.”

Clarkie off to join him according to usually reliable sources (Ray Gatt)

Last one out turn off the lights?

 

[dibo]

If JC goes as well, we're going to be facing Significant Challenges.

 

[shipwreck]

f**ks sake....

 

[scottmac]

f**king f**k
Well it was fun while it lasted. Time to put the exoskeleton on & prepare for the worst.

 

[sydmariner]

So do we head 4 the life rafts just yet or not

If JC goes as well, we're going to be facing Significant Challenges.

Arnie said in his interview with Scott McIntyre that he could bring in 1 staff member.

At the time he was pondering Clarkie, JC for his GK and video analysis and a number of Japenese speaking Australians that are employed in Japanese football. So while we may loose Clarkie (a huge loss) I doubt we will lose both he and JC to Japan.

 

[BrisRecky]

Good luck in Japan Clarky...BUT...what the hell is going on at Tuggerah, at whom do I point fingers and bellow "YOU DID THIS TO MY CLUB YOU FKN ARSEHAT"

 

[FFC Mariner]

What's even sadder is that yet again, the club has lost control of the message and were scooped.

Just once it would be nice if they didn't have to play catch up and announce old news.

Club must leak like a sieve which shows a really poor culture and lack of respect for the back office.

 

[Ancient Mariner]

If Clarky goes with Arnie you can start calling me Hanrahan.

 

[midfielder]

Kinda know how Manly fans must have felt when DH went to the Dogs and he took Cleal with him and a couple of players...

Given that there seemed to be a carefully thought out takeover plan in place for the coaching gig, I wonder whether similar thoughts were given to the other management roles. Let's face it, now that it's happened, Clarkey leaving was inevitable. I'd be surprised that there was no post-Clarkey plan being worked on for the last 12 months. At the very least, I'd hope that he has trained others in the "Andrew Clarke Method".

I thought I saw somewhere a month or two ago that we had hired this guy at the academy - note the background in Sports Science. Someone close to the club might be able to confirm. Currently at Football NSW.
