Mariners Squad - 2019-2020

[Michael]

Most if not all NPL wages are pay as you play. From season start to season end. Many clubs will make the highest/over paid players do coaching clinics or coach a youth team to help in paying those players.
Then ofcourse the extortionate rego fee’s they’ve been charging parents for decades now. I’ll never be convinced the end reward for the crazy payments in NPL are worth it. But in saying that, credit to the blokes that can take advantage of it. I know I would if I was good enough.

And if you think some NPL wages are ridiculous for the level, consider the players/coaches being paid in the past and present in our own local premier league and div 1. And to make it even funnier, some of the more consistently strong clubs (kilarney) notoriously don’t pay players.

Marconi have a licensed club to produce the cash

They were days from bankruptcy 15 years ago.
If it wasn`t for Mounties bailing them out for about $3m they would have been swallowed up by the Panthers group...

Zac Anderson's journey since leaving us is quite interesting: https://www.ftbl.com.au/news/zac-anderson-life-as-a-foreign-signing-in-uae-malaysia-526244/page0

Do you think he would have improved and if so would he be worth a contract?

Big part of the reason why our junior development is so messed up.

I was involved in the breakaway group from the amateurs to the federation years ago.
It all came about because the amateurs were charging an exorbitant amount for insurance ,then receiving a huge sponsorship from the same insurance company.Essentially ripping off the kids and senior players.
This group (Albury, Wagga,St.George,Macarthur, Easts) ultimately tipped the status quo and got the two bodies to form Football NSW.
Seems that they have now come the full circle and are ripping off the players again....

I didn`t mind Anderson in the early years but he gave the impression he was too much of a nancyboy
in his last years and he was more concerned about his appearance than his playing form.
He has probably learnt a lot since then, so he`d be worth a go IMO. ....

 

[Wombat]

He was poor for us. Maybe he has improved alot.

And the mandatory insurance is still rubbish.

Transfer fees is a big win for the likes of us and the roar who get treated like feeder clubs.

Oh, you beat me to it. Marconi not Mount Druitt. 34 goals in 54 games for Marconi, plus he gets a goal bonus

Pavlovic left Marconi and signed for Mount Druitt this week.

 

[sydmariner]

he got to many imo so pass

 

[Wombat]

f**k me i wouldn't want him at qpr .
But leeds can have him

We had him before back when he was very good. We don't want him now.

A lot of Leeds fans want Andy Carroll as our 9 next season.

Something Charlesworth should have built when the Govt were handing out the cash.

It always amazed me that we had a licenced club at the COE but tore it down to build a carpark.
Also (from memory), it was said during the planning stages of the multi story building, that there would be some sort of club-room with a bar etc where members could meet for the away games...

Probably part of the hotel he has announced twice

 

[pjennings]

The hold up at the COE is about access to the site. The Council wants an alternate access to the site before any more large expansion. i.e. you can put in an extra field but you can't put in a club or hotel. Council originally were happy for the alternate access to be from Ibis Rd. However, they delayed it while the work at Wyong Rd/ Central Coast Highway was complete. Now that has been completed they are not happy with that approach and more expensive alternatives have to be considered.

Licenced clubs do not make money. Poker machines make money.

Oh, l hadn't heard about that

Not sure I know of too many licenced clubs that don`t have poker machines.
The club that was on the site certainly did have them.
I realise that it was a branch of the existing RSL club in Wyong but surely that could have been sorted.
