To be honest you cannot blame any player for not wanting to be at the Mariners.
ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

It only takes a few minutes, and joining will let you post your thoughts and opinions on all things Mariners, Football, and whatever else pops into your mind. If posting is not your thing, you can interact in other ways, including voting on polls, and unlock options only available to community members.
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.
A lot of his family are in Sydney, especially his Grandmother, who helped raise him. One would hope that CCM are part of those discussions, seeing as we know what sort of player and person he is.Think been near his family was a factor. He is a Brizzy boy.
Well, he's going back to his home town, so I get that. Does the player have any say about loan deals? If he does & says no, would that damage his ongoing career in the UK? It's probably better he gets playing minutes than splinters in his bum. Granted that champion players rarely make top coaches, I would think he'd still learn much from Fowler.Ditching us for the roar? I'd get it if they didnt suck as much as us last season. That one is tough to swallow after we all thought fair enough he wants to go back to the UK.
Fowler is probably seen as more qualified by Burnley as well, considering we no longer have Phelan we don't have any real credibility within the English system.Well, he's going back to his home town, so I get that.

Going to most clubs that's fair enough but going to the roar you're gambling heavily on their rebuild which is a huge shake up with an unproven coach (thats my understanding I could be wrong), their money issues weren't that long ago and then there was this gem https://www.foxsports.com.au/footba...s/news-story/b003856909ae1a274cf13c9910b25400To be honest you cannot blame any player for not wanting to be at the Mariners.
A little bit absurd that our coaching staff went on vacation, after only being in the job a short time.Still waiting for the club to show any sign of life, at this point I'm not convinced that we're not dead in the water.
The players have to have a break so there is no one to coach. They can do the recruiting from home. Pretty sure that doesn’t stop.A little bit absurd that our coaching staff went on vacation, after only being in the job a short time.

If it was me I'd also be wary of the nix being gutted and possibly Adelaide who has some changes going on with Goodwin and Isais leaving. I don't think there would be as much surprise if it were a more consistent and cashed up club like WSW or Victory but the roar?
Yeah that makes sense, I just hope we are using the time productively!The players have to have a break so there is no one to coach. They can do the recruiting from home. Pretty sure that doesn’t stop.
I wouldn’t be to worried. I get your thoughts but everyone at all clubs will be in same boat
They will pay more than CCM.A lot of his family are in Sydney, especially his Grandmother, who helped raise him. One would hope that CCM are part of those discussions, seeing as we know what sort of player and person he is.
Stajcic has some big gaps to fill, and with how diabolical our recruitment has been in the past few years that is pretty worrying.With the losses of Millar, O'Neill, Aspro, Hiariej, Pain and Karacan, I am yet to see any evidence that our player quality will be any better than last season. Those losses are a sizable gap to have us on par from last season, even with a change in coach.
if he is more than a backup than it's time to be worried
Isn't that when preseason starts? If a good chunk of our recruitment isnt settled before then we're in for a rough time.Isn't Staj on leave till the 24th
Isn't Staj on leave till the 24th? It's very hard to make an assessment of his recruiting when he hasn't done any. Chill people chill.
I thought he said at Ettalong he was going off for ten days, so should be back.Isn't Staj on leave till the 24th? It's very hard to make an assessment of his recruiting when he hasn't done any. Chill people chill.
