ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

It only takes a few minutes, and joining will let you post your thoughts and opinions on all things Mariners, Football, and whatever else pops into your mind.

ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.
What Sydney can't match Mike, is an environment where he won't be thrown under the bus after a couple of losses by vicious and fickle supporters, in a club laden with a ludicrous sense of self importance and entitlement, completely unmatched by the city's actual interest of levels or support. All under the desperate and constant pro Sydney press scrutiny, complete with it's over rated playing roster, over sized football stadium, and under sized crowds.
With the appointment of GA to CCM. There were no supporters more vocal in their ridicule than SFC's.
I said the same thing when Aloi$i left incidentally.
All that "profile" Mike? Please. Arnie is no Glory hound. Aloi$i was. Arnie's a family and a football man, what's he gonna do, use all that profile to cavort with celebrity sex kittens and do blow off their foreheads?
The "profile" of sydney is an empty hyped up falsehood, full of utter piss and wind.
Though Shakespeare's "full of sound and fury and signifying nothing" is more eloquent and equally apt.
Arnie has bigger and better things in his future than the A league imo, I'd like to see him as NT manager again one day, and honestly going to Sydney those chances do not increase, in all likelihood they lessen. It's a serious spin of the barrel. Better off staying here and playing a russian game of another nature.
As to MV, Musky's dressing room? Harry? You must be joking.
No.
He is deeply appreciated and loved here. He could wooden spoon us next year and I wouldn't hear a word against him.
He is already achieving wonderful things. Has built a great squad. He lives in a wonderful part of the world, where what he does with Mariners genuinely makes a real difference to this community and the growth and identity of the Central Coast. He matters here. And he can leave a real legacy. As opposed to that handful of petulant, pumped up brats down the road where what matters most is only matching up to their own press engorged sense of self importnace as the "biggest" club in the league.
Give Arnie a coupe of marquees and the squad he has, and he could go on to be the first Aussie coach to win the ACL, hit Asia for some better coaching coin if he desires and take AUS to a world cup minus the baggage of the then retired golden generation he took to the ill fated Asian cup.
I'd be surprised if he went. Because I'm sure he knows all this already.
