So talk on the Yellow Army FB page saying Flores offered to stay for only $50,000 for the season.
Surely he was worth keeping for that money

If the $50k rumour is true it seems crazy to get rid of him.
Interesting article on TWG about Flores.
http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/news/1188831/Fired-up-Flores-won't-say-adios
Looks like he really wanted to stay.
This quote caught my eye:
"I can't believe that only one person at the Mariners believes I am not good enough."
I wonder who that one person is?

Geeze, that wasn't the only quote to catch my eye! Pity we couldn't keep him, he really fits with the culture.

It is surprising to let a JW medal winner slip through our fingers. There must be more to it behind the scenes.
Disappointing though, he is the type of player that puts bums on seats.......if he's playing in top form.

Mossy gives the reasoning
http://m.footballaustralia.com.au/news-display/moss-reveals-thinking-behind-flores-decision/90424
Central Coast coach Phil Moss has moved to clear the air on the club's decision not to re-sign injured playmaker Marcos Flores for next Hyundai A-League season.
A serious knee injury in January cut-short the Argentine's season, with the club making the tough decision in March not to renew his contract beyond the end of the 2013/14 campaign.
The former Johnny Warren Medallist was angered by the Mariners' stance and has accused the club of not showing enough faith in his ability to recover from a full knee reconstruction.
With Flores such a popular figure amongst Mariners supporters, Moss has revealed the reasons behind the decision to provide some clarity for the fans.
"The decision to let Marcos go was an extremely tough one," Moss told www.footballaustralia.com.au on Saturday.
"Marcos asked for an early decision which is why I told him before the season was done, so it gave him a chance to look around for something else.
"The pure and simple fact was because he got injured I had to move to get a replacement number 10 in and in the end we found a player of Kim's (Seung-yong) quality.
"We picked up Glen Trifiro from the state league who has done extremely well and we've got the best young up and coming number 10 out of the AIS, Anthony Kalik.
"For the balance of the squad I can't justify having four number 10's. That's the pure and simple fact."
With Kim, Trifiro and Kalik already secured on deals for next season, Moss conceded Flores' unfortunate injury – and the form and ability of the other trio - forced his hand.
"The players that have come in have taken their opportunities with both hands and it really gave me no option in the end," the Mariners boss said.
"It had nothing to do with my lack of belief in Marcos' ability.
"He got injured on January 2 and I couldn't afford to go the rest of the season without a specialist number 10.
"I never planned to go looking for another number 10 (in January) but he got injured so I had to try and find a replacement."
Flores flies out of Australia on Sunday to continue his rehabilitation is his homeland in Argentina but hopes to return to the A-League with another club next season.
While aware the 28-year-old may have a point to prove to his former club if he returns, Moss hopes Flores and his talent is not lost to the Australian competition.
"I bear no hard feelings towards Marcos. He's a great guy and is obviously hurting," Moss said.
"These things happen in football and what he needs to realise is it's a football decision, not a personal decision.
"I've got no doubt if he goes somewhere else in the A-League he'll be affective. But unfortunately for the balance of our squad I just can't justify four number 10's in our squad."

I just did a search, seems it is $50k.
Foxsports article dated July 2013:
http://www.foxsports.com.au/footbal...ap-minimum-wages/story-e6frf4gl-1226672553297
"The minimum wage also received a minor boost, up from $48,000 to $50,000 a season."

Re-signing former marque players on minimum wage due to injuries sets a very bad precedent that I'm sure the PFA would not approve of regardless of the individual players wishes.
But that aside, moss said no for tactical reasons... Trifiro can defend and play 90 mins, Marcos can not.

I'm with you I think tsd, Flores is likeable and a good player, I think... But I also think that Mossy's recruiting for the role, is a better fit. Both Trifiro and Kim are more flexible players, even if they're not always as good as Flores can be.
As previously mentioned, I also think that we improved when he got injured because the boys were forced to actually start playing rather than just try to get the ball to Flores. So, much as it pains me, as I think he's been excellent for PR and indeed is a fun player to watch, I probably have to agree with Mossy's decision (I'm sure that he'd feel releived to read that )
