the club were pretty fast to basically rule this out unfortunately

Could we get an update on where our visa players are up to. Do they have a flight date yet? If they aren't here in the next week they are going to miss more than two games. ?
Pretty sure that none of the other 11 teams are going into the season without one import playing. Why is that the case?

Not really, they stated none of the bidders had progressed to FA due diligence stage. That doesn’t mean a deal isn’t close, with him or any other party.

Seems like a bit of gamesmanship?

And he is claiming he is well past that stage

OMG. This bloke sounds like a breath of fresh air. Bring it on!!!!

The FFA should be doing EVERYTHING they can to expedite a quick sale and have the Mariners firing again. Lets face it a Charlesworth led Mariners its a drainer on all aspects of the A league.

He sounds like a cowboy to me, I get a bad vibe if I'm being honest.

This is good news. His team wrapped up in November so hopefully he’s in decent shape despite getting limited minutes.

Dreadful song, dreadful singer, dreadful club owner. Nothing can be worse than the death by a thousand cuts, Pikey has inflicted on us.

That's how the last 6 years have felt

The Central Coast Mariners have distanced themselves from a mooted investor and undischarged bankrupt who claims to have ownership links to a former La Liga club, saying he has failed to show "real commitment" to buying the club.

All seems very convenient coming out around a week from league start.

Either way it is a more of a negative and distraction for us I feel.

If it was the nrl one of our players would be mysteriously caught up in a scuffle at a pub or caught with drugs.

Instead seems we being used by someone or some team to create free speculation cause A-League can’t afford to advertise.

Hi Iain I haven’t received my email yet

Just wanted to jump in and send a big congrats to Shaun and the admin team. We know the challenges you have faced and been facing for some time, and I was gutted for you that the Carols initiative had to be reigned back to an online event after the work you put in to try to bring something to the community.

Last night was the just rewards, a great atmosphere, decent crowd under the current circumstances, successful community engagement with the fireworks, and a bloody victory on the pitch.

I know we are fairly critical on here at times, but the hard work in difficult circumstances with one arm tied is appreciated, and I hope the whole organisation enjoyed last night.
