Mariners Squad - 2019-2020

JP. We didnt pay him to come out here. He paid himself and we gave him minimum wage. It was a trial to prove his worth.
He proved his worth and we have dogged him.

This is more of the usual bullshit from Pikey and his lap dog Shaun.

That's disgraceful, he more than deserves to be one of our better paid players. If we're not going to pay him that then I am sure there will be other A-League clubs that will. If we are under spending again then we are stuffed.

^^^^
If Tom & Jem are gone and we are looking at an NPL player as one of our visa players, to add to weeMack's visa position... thats not what I wanta hear.
...,

The NPL player is banging them in AND has been playing for Canberra/ Wollongong since 1/12/2013. Surely he could get his citizenship without too much problem. I see him filling Murray's role as the mature age rookie (and a non-visa player)

I think Roy would be worth a two year deal, he's never been a striker who relied on his pace.

He is also quite skillful bringing others into play. I wouldn't mind seeing Roy and Muzz up front.

No one really knows what has gone on behind close doors with any players other than those signed, as yet. Most of this talk is guesswork and speculation.

I'm not going to worry about rumours and a lack of signings or resignings while the coach is overseas in the first week since our season ended.

What sort of club have we become this is simply wrong

The more the player movements are dragging on the less confidence i have in Shaun.
We`ve seriously been shit since he joined us, we`ve been consistently lied too &
we`ve been filled with hope only to see it drain away.
Add to that the diabolical way we negotiate contracts and continually shit on players (Lachie & Jem) it`s understandable why we are the laughing stock of Australian sport
I understand that he has to do what MC orders but surely after 4-5 years of this drizzle you`d
think he would grow a set and either tell MC to shove his job or stand up to him (for the good of the club)
and stop being a proverbial lapdog.
Don`t get me wrong,as a person I quite like Shaun,he`s a decent guy.
He just has to stop being nice to MC and tell him a few home truths.

Anyone know what the offer to Jem actually was?

 

[bikinigirl]

snip ... this time club management needs to COMMAND respect rather than DEMAND respect ... snip

. this nails it for me

. unfortunately Staj has started churning out the same old club rhetoric ... and that is a worry. the club needs to understand that the community is still there ... it's just that they don't trust you (and you have given them no reason to)

I think Roy would be worth a two year deal, he's never been a striker who relied on his pace.

As long as he can control his temper. We can't have a striker earning 8 week suspensions.

Roar prodigy Zach Duncan to snub Fowler reign

Ray Gatt
12:00AM May 8, 2019
It appears not even the thought of being coached by Liverpool great Robbie Fowler is enough to convince footballing prodigy Zach Duncan to commit his future to the Brisbane Roar.

The Australian understands the 18-year-old, who broke into the top flight in the final weeks of the A-League, has told the club he is moving on and exploring his options either overseas or with another A-League club, believed to be the Central Coast Mariners.

It is believed Duncan, who is from Marayong in Sydney’s west, is now in Denmark for trials as his agent weighs up the options for a player regarded as one of the next big things in Australian soccer.

Roar officials have been left greatly disappointed by the development as they were under the impression he would be staying with the club and would be part of Fowler’s plans for the future.

CONTENT RESUMES ON SCROLL

They believe Fowler would have got the best out of him and would have subsequently opened doors to a career overseas given Fowler’s worldwide connections.

After stints as a junior with Marconi Stallions and Sydney Olympic in the NSWPL before moving onto Sydney FC and then Western Sydney Wanderers, Duncan joined the Roar last year and was involved in their youth team.

With Roar out of finals contentions, interim coach Darren Davies opted to give him some senior football experience in the latter stages of this season.

A central midfielder, he made his debut for the Roar in a round 22 game against Melbourne Victory on March 16 before being handed his first starting game against Wellington Phoenix in round 25.

Duncan scored his first and only A-League goal against the Newcastle Jets in a 6-1 loss in round 26 and finished the season with a start against Adelaide United in round 27.

With new coach Alen Stajcic now at the helm on a full-time basis, the Mariners are looking to bolster their squad with a mix of experienced players and good, young talent from around the country.

Duncan’s attraction to the Mariners is understandable given Stajcic knows him well having coached him in junior football. Still, he would be unlikely to be given a full contract, instead being put on a scholarship

ENJOY!

Some absolute trash defending by Barca there. Take nothing away from the Scousers but wow, some of that was amateur hour.

 

[finally retired]

[midfielder]

ENJOY!

We get it, you don’t like them.

You do realise that’s not Shaun’s domain though?

 

[bikinigirl]

We get it, you don’t like them.

. well .... that's not what he said when he addressed the fans pre-match after the Mulvey debacle

Just out of curiosity, who actually negotiates our contracts? I had assumed it was Shaun.

What did he say BG?

As of ~ 3 months ago, the recruitment/contract process started with phelan, then onto mulvey/Monty, then Charlesworth, and then onto Shaun at the end. Based on a press release from a couple of months ago which stated that Shaun will continue to report to the board on administrative and commercial operations of the football club, with Phelan looking after the football department, I’d suggest that process hasn’t really changed (aside from the obvious Mulvey not being here).
