Mariners Squad 2024/2025 ALM and ACL Elite

[midfielder]

I'm pretty sure that MJ has still got things to conquer here. He will be keen on the Australia Cup and then there is the challenge of the ACL Elite. Whether progress there is realistic really depends on the draw on 16th August. If we get a decent draw we need to finish in the top 8 of 12 to progress to the last 16. Then a home and away against a West Asian side to make the final stage in Saudi Arabia.

Would love to make the top 8 given the financial position of the league.

Apparently there's a pretty strong chance we'll face Hutcho's Marinos either here or Japan.

It wasnt clear so far how they're going to handle teams from the same country playing each other with the lopsided draw. If they do something like avoid Japanese sides playing each other our chances will drop even further.

Anyone got word on where Nizzy is going to end up? Feel like it’s kinda strange he wasn’t announced anywhere quite soon after departing… like Max was.

Bruh that must be so demoralising for Nisbet.

No longer our player so no concerns in this thread.... unless he changes his mind and wants to stay another season...

 

[shipwreck]

Must absolutely suck to watch Max get such a great overseas gig and not even get an offer.

If he ends up going to City for a shit load of money because nothing comes up, or worse, because of an empty promise that the CFG will loan him somewhere.....😬

 

[FFC Mariner]

Not our players is he? Maybe should have signed a new deal as security.

 

[Ironbark]

I hope there's a solid offer waiting for him with us if nothing pans out.

I mean there would be, but I hope he'd take it

Yeah…. Wow.
Come home niz, take the improved deal we offered. Don’t sit and wait for something.

 

[Tim]

Upfront I am a massive Nisbet fan and wish him all the best but he chose to leave uncontracted and take his chances. If that doesn’t work out, I don’t think the Mariners can be Plan B. We need to move on and I’m sure Jackson with recent signing of the young English lad is doing just that…

Apparently he has loads of offers. So probably still haggling.

Stop it. That'd be actually f**ked from Nizzy

The story from months ago?

Yes

 

[FFC Mariner]

Which club has one of his old mentors in charge?
And lots of money?
