CCMFC New Chairman and Substantial Investment

[turbo]

I hope the kid gets a fair go and doesn't cop it because of his dads business dealings.
I wonder what we would be saying if he was playing for some other academy?

Rich kid problems eh?

If he has the ability I'm sure Monty will give him a go, but it seems that with the club's business model, there are a lot of talented youth players ahead of him. If he hasn't the ability I'm sure Monty will not give him a go. His reputation as a manager is on the line. Please no more Usain Bolt like attempts to "turn a pig's ear into a silk purse". If he isn't the goods, and gets a run, Monty and the club will be a laughing stock.

I think he has a few years to go before he is at 1st team age.
Also. Can I please be at the meeting where they "order" Monty to pick him.

Wont that be the same meeting where he tells them where to stick their contract?

Thought this stuff was done on twitter

Late last year there was a report that said the APL wanted to go to 14 teams in 2023 and that they were still talking to Canberra as team 13. That was this team https://capitalregionfc.com.au/

The Andy Bernal one seems to be an alternate.

What this looks like to me is that the Capital Region bid has got up and will come in next season. Is that 2023? Ideally another team (Wollongong?) comes in at the same time.

Wont be for next season. They need more time to get active in the transfer market, recruit staff, build hype etc.. If its been decided I reckon you're looking at offseason/finals time announcement with kick off in the 23-24 season.

Will they go 2 East Coast/NSW?
Tassie and Canberra I hope.
Or better another Qld team

I think Wollongong Tassie and Canberra deserve it the most. I just don't want to see our guys play an acclimatised Darwin team in summer. Nothing surprises me any more-we may get an Aukland team lol

Will wander down next game.
Can't be worse than that Russian kid when Turnbull was madly sucking up to them.

No kid would be as bad as that Russian kid

Having seen me play, I'm flattered

Oh yeah, you would compete with him

3 years?

He is 17 I think so about right.

What you are insinuating (I assume with tongue-in-cheek) seems ridiculous - but tbh I am struggling to come up with a more credible reason why you would have a "try-before-you-buy" that lasts for 3 whole years (if the info you have on the structure of the deal is reliable).

It was completely tongue-in-cheek mate

Thanks for clarifying . I did respond with a laugh emoji to the original post but it was probably not totally clear in my response that I was amused by the inference rather than making a serious accusation that was the reason for the 3 year deal (although it would be peak mariners). Having said that, the point about the structure of the deal seeming to be a strange one (based on marinermick's intel) is a valid one and I am at a loss how such a deal could be a good workable one for both parties.

Somewhere in Jamaica right now, Usain Bolt is probably reading this forum and kicking himself that he didn't think of this idea of effectively renting the club for a few years and bypass all this nonsense of having to trial

Indeed. He could have realised his dream of becoming a professional footballer.
