CCM Fans and the club

[Shaun Mielekamp]

Hey Shaun, can you provide any insight into what’s happened with Jai Ingham? Was it Staj that’s decided he doesn’t fit or Ingham being a pea heart? And will he still count against the salary cap?
Also, are you able to confirm if one of the Seoul bro’s isn’t sticking around and which one? Cheers

Hey Michael, I know the usual "mutual termination" is a lot like the "we agreed to be friends" where one is pushing the separation. But i am sure when everyone asks Jai as i know they will he will confirm that this was genuinely a good outcome for him and CCM. This helps Alen allocate the wages to the visa positions and positions we need bolstering and Jai get to return home which he was very excited to do. So this is beneficial for salary cap calculations.

are you MC in disguise?

I was going to say Offsider, but not enough .......................

Thanks for the clarification, just a shame this situation came up when everything was going perfectly normal. The football public in this country will lap it up no matter how positive it may end up in terms of the final squad.
Bloody sweet talking Mulvey bites us even after he’s gone.

If we have the Korean winger and Oar and Silvera we probably dont need Ingham.

Judas as cover too - he seemed to have found his level last night but is still a squad filler if we get desperate

 

[BaysideMariner]

I like the fact that Alen seems to know what he wants and is happy to make some tough decisions. I wish Ingham all the best.

Could you explain the visa players rules I can recall reading sometime ago if you signed an Asian player you could get 5 visa players ....

Not sure how it all works would appreciate understanding how it works as I have a vague idea but maybe not totally correct...

Thanks...

 

[turbo]

The additional Asian player is only for ACL with their +1 rule. We missed out on qualifying by a little bit so it doesn’t impact us.

If we sign both the Korean blokes .... a promotional day in Eastwood could be worth considering... Eastwood has a high number of Korean's and many play Football...

Also they can train up from Epping takes about 50 minutes on the fast train...

Hire Eastwood oval i.e. next to the station and run a some training with the Koreans running some of the drills and maybe speaking to the locals... take the membership team with you as well...

I reckon you will more than cover your costs and also piss off both the flying circus [south Gosford FC] and the Drive By's ...

I know the area quite well and if you can't get Eastwood Oval i could suggest a couple of grounds you would have no issue getting ..

There is actually a quite strong Korean community from Silverwater / Lidcombe / Homebush / Strathfield through the Dundas Valley and up to around Epping and another couple of decent sized communities around Waitara / Hornsby and Chatswood.

We could also take a game to Harry Moore oval Toukley and run it alongside the Gathering of the Clans. Ziggy would be wrapped and we could tap into the Scottish community .
P.s did you know copper wire was invented by two Scotsman fighting over a penny.

Agree there is a decent Korean community in Hornsby, I make the trip every game and it’s not difficult at all being around 30 to 40 mins and plenty of free parking. Especially Kim being a previous caption of Suwon he may have some followers.

 

[SuperHans]

Brilliant ideas. I dont think Kim has played for a non Korean club so there may be some culture shock. Can he and any family get connected with a local Korean community (if there is one here on the coast). I'd hate to lose him prematurely as we did with Perez because he or his family were homesick.
And now on a lighter note, can the band learn to play Gangnam Style for his first appearance?

The band left a year ago. Go to lots of games do you?

To be fair - the crowds left a year ago as well.

 

[turbo]

I miss the band. Not sure if they had club support but if a few free memberships would get them back I reckon it’s worth it.

 

[SuperHans]

Thats fantastic (news?) for me and I hadn't even noticed. I never liked them anyway and have always tried to tune them out. I know they tried hard but always found them really annoying. Now, I'd be truly happy if those dancers never came again.
Yeah, I only missed a few last season.

Gangnam Style is a great idea as our walk out song for the first game and we should get Dami Im to sing halftime entertainment.
