Central Coast Mariners saviour Mike Charlesworth says the A-League champion needs to stop playing the underdog card and embrace the mantle of being “the best” in the land.

I noticed the switch in attitude around the middle of last season with Arnie's press conferences, and then especially with the last ACL game.
The boys have played as if they can't be beaten, and it's a good message to send out to fans and potential fans.
Good stuff IMO.

Upon opening this thread and reading the source, my immediate thought was 'Which small Australian town are we moving to now'

But it's a good idea. We are the best at the moment and long may it continue!

Anyone know or any idea when the community forums are being held and where...

. much better article that ... i think charlesworth is starting choose his words better

. but this one brought my internal cynic to the surface:

Charlesworth, who rejected a $4 million offer from South Melbourne’s backers to take control of the club because it would have meant losing the franchise from Gosford

... perhaps if it was $10m things would have been different. apparently he has already thrown double that (3+5) at the club to pay off debts and has only just gained control. is he going to give that up so cheaply?

... also he would still probably be left with the coe commitment without a club to actually make it useful

... the fact that it didn't make business sense has nothing to do with keeping the team on the coast
