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.
Mariner stuff not worthy of a whole thread

Nice little article that Arthur from the 442 forum posted a little while back. I have just copied and pasted the conclusion but the whole article makes a good read and its theme is applicable to our current squad/situation maybe not so much the a-league as a competition anymore.

Conclusions
Why should this be? Perhaps it’s because players of a lower standard are more likely to make mistakes on the ball, more likely to send passes astray, more likely to make a fatal error in a dangerous position. Possession football requires a certain skill level to carry off well, and yet even then it is not foolproof, as Barcelona’s occasional slip-ups have proved. When inferior players try to play keep-ball, it often proves counterproductive.
According to the Spanish journalist Diego Torres in a recent book, Jose Mourinho’s attitude to possession at Real Madrid was summed up thus.
1. The game is won by the team who commits fewer errors.
2. Football favours whoever provokes more errors in the opposition.
3. Away from home, instead of trying to be superior to the opposition, it's better to encourage their mistakes.
4. Whoever has the ball is more likely to make a mistake.
5. Whoever renounces possession reduces the possibility of making a mistake.
6. Whoever has the ball has fear.
7. Whoever does not have it is therefore stronger.
This is tiki-taka’s direct nemesis: not necessarily anti-football, but definitely anti-something. The data from Australia proves that below a certain skill threshold, football is primarily a game of mistakes.
Mourinho’s genius is in enacting his theory at the very highest level of football.

"Businessman Ivan Slavich has been appointed Central Coast Mariners' business development manager"
...and he comes up with this gem:
'Capital Coast Mariners'
Facepalm

That's painful but reading through he has previously headed up a bid for a Canberra team so I think he's much more focused on Canberra getting a team not us moving there.

I don't think he wants us to move there....I just think that team name is ridiculous. 1 - it is NOT our name and 2 - Capital and Coast together when Canberra is 54 billion kms from the ocean.
@VicMariner you've left a vital bit of information off in your quote of the article which has set off a few people unncessarily.
Let's try again:
I take that to mean he (Slavich) is being tasked with making sure the club's plans in the ACT bear financial fruit, something the club's Tuggerah-based staff would not be able to do with ease given location/distance.
Not that he's CCM's "new business development manager". That role remains former Gosford councillor Gabby Bowles' role as far as I know.

Singo is a leaguie who wanted the stadium for a league team. He was happy to have the Mariners as a tenant, but I don't think they were ever his passion.
This Denny fellow has been living in Europe for years and is much more likely to have a taste for football. The two are business partners though and Singo would be able to explain that as we're on the verge of a new TV deal and as the Council is suddenly interested in at least talking about a sale of the stadium to the club then there's actually something to invest in rather than something to just fund and hope it doesn't fall over.

I was told that Singo stumped up money when the super payments were overdue.
The person who told me said that Singo told him.
I expressed my surprise but he insisted it was true.
Who to believe?
