Mariners Financial Crisis in the Daily Tele

[roonytunes]

Nevertheless, I am ready to welcome our new overlords.

was not the over lords money that paid them

 

[pjennings]

While not wanting to diminish the current liquidity crisis - it may only last for six months for the following reasons.

1) Buckley was questioned about the TV deal due in 2013 and said he was already talking with the media and the deal should be done in the next six months. At that stage club grants should go up to fully cover the salary cap.

2) The Mariners trust should be receiving lease payments now for Soccer5s on top of the Club Tuggerah lease payments

3) The next instalments of the club grants is due soon.

4) I believe that the new grandstand building also contains offices. When complete the lease payments for the current office space in the Ausgrid building will be saved. This one may be wrong.

I thought I heard theycontra-ed the office space as part of the sponsorship. There might not be a cash saving there.

Sing along


There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
He could preach the bible like a preacher
Full of ecstasy and fire
But he also was the kind of teacher
Women would desire


RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on

He ruled the Russian land and never mind the czar
But the kasachok he danced really wunderbar
In all affairs of state he was the man to please
But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze
For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
Though she'd heard the things he'd done
She believed he was a holy healer
Who would heal her son

RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on

(Spoken
But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger
for power became known to more and more people,
the demands to do something about this outrageous
man became louder and louder.

"This man's just got to go!" declared his enemies
But the ladies begged "Don't you try to do it, please"
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms
Then one night some men of higher standing
Set a trap, they're not to blame
"Come to visit us" they kept demanding
And he really came

RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
They put some poison into his wine
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
He drank it all and said "I feel fine"

RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
They didn't quit, they wanted his head
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
And so they shot him till he was dead

Oh, those Russians...

There has to be a chant somewhere in there "COMRAD"

EXCLUSIVE: Central Coast Mariners’ potential new Russian investment won’t be clearer until at least the second half of January 2012, say insiders.
Two representatives of a Russian businessman with ownership links to at least one Moscow-based football club have spent the last two weeks in Australia.

The pair have chiefly been in Gosford and with the FFA in Sydney doing due diligence on a club which is flying high in the A-League but struggling badly off it.

The representatives have now returned to Russia and will report back with their findings.

One FFA insider described this potential investment in the financially ailing A-League club a “promising” although the amount of ownership in the Mariners still remains unclear.

However the players were paid, according to the FFA, on December 15 - albeit not until late afternoon - and it’s believed the club and not the FFA made the payments.

FFA Chairman Frank Lowy made it clear in a recent speech that the FFA were no longer in the business of bailing out A-League clubs with interim ownership deals.

It was this, he said, which contributed to the FFA posting a small operating loss in the last year after the national body had bailed out a handful of other A-League clubs before fresh investment was found.

“This is not a sustainable approach,” he said.

However, this on-going issue hasn’t affected the Mariners who are the the form team heading into this weekend’s big clash with fellow table toppers the Roar in Brisbane.

I might.

Soccer 5s lease money already spent as part of major sponsor deal. Mariners got lease money up front in return for the sponsorship.

There is also the little matter of three million dollars owed to Club Tuggerah in mid-Jamuary.

Very colourful family - this should be interesting!!

The three million is in 2013.

 

[Jerem]

by all accounts the club with the smallest budget,
has made some ballsy moves, but when they pay off!!!
well be THE club to be at methinks. . .

 

[Muppet]

So the Mariners gave away their front short sponsorship to a company that has leased space of them? Don't get me wrong but I would have thought we could have attracted someone else as a major sponsor.

Soccer5s rule!

Me thinks time was the issue.... sometimes a dollar today is worth 100, 000 next week....

Also if there were other options I am sure they would have been done. Fact is theres not much sponsorship money floating around - theres bigger clubs than ours with no shirt sponsors...
