Mariners squad HAL 10 ~ 2014/15

[eenfish]

I don't want to hear any more whinging from MC!

He needs to:

1. Get some more BIG sponsorship dollars.
2. Keep us on the coast

See, those things fight against each other.

We want the team on the coast, but the reason why MC wants to expand to North Sydney is to increase the fanbase, and thus increase the saturation area for sponsorship, which then, he reckons, will increase both our attendance (doubtful) and our appeal to big sponsors (possible...)

Heh. Sky poos.

sky poos love it so is this the end of the smurfs tag

 

[Kareem]

The motivation is he wants to play for the Socceroos and playing in Oz will get him on the radar.
For this reason I think we would have a good chance of signing him.

When was the last time he signalled his desire for the socceroos. 2011?
Obviously he would jump at the oppurtunity if it came...but I think he has given up hope.

And if that's true he wouldn't come here...

 

[Kareem]

Unless someone wants to particularly market the Central Coast then I doubt we'd get a big sponsor. If the best WSW can get is NRMA, I think we do quite well with Masterfoods and Westinghouse.

Hmmm ... I don't think we can determine whether we are doing well based on the name of the sponsor...

The only factor that matters is $$$$

And unfortunately I think our deals are worth far less than NRMA

And I hate nrma...I hate all insurance companies...

got any better ideas

 

[Kareem]

I don't

I'm not bagging out our sponsorship deals

Just pointing out that "who the company is" doesn't matter nearly as much as the financial aspects of the sponsorship.

And that we can't really evaluate how well we are going without any information available to us...


But no doubt about it...our marketing department has the one of the toughest jobs going around.
Good luck to them...I certainly couldn't do it!

 

[pjennings]

I'll agree with this.



Most successful club, but smallest fan base. We don't get the paper space or TV time the Wanderers or even the Sky Poos get. Unless someone wants to particularly market the Central Coast then I doubt we'd get a big sponsor. If the best WSW can get is NRMA, I think we do quite well with Masterfoods and Westinghouse.

Continuing with the insurance theme ING have a call centre at Tuggerah (maybe a bit too orange) and Allianz's boat insurance is Club Marine.

[elevated position]

Korean mining company "Cores"have been struggling for years to get their Wallarah mine up and running and have been linked with lots of murky stuff but have never tried (main steam) to lift their profile as a local company engaging the local area. Large company who would give an instant face in asia.
Actually they have been as dumb as MC in their approach for their goals.

Pasfield out!!!

#CCMFC wish to alert its members & fans that goalkeeper @juzzopas will not be re-signed by the Club for next season | http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/centralcoastmariners/news-display/News--Pasfield-to-depart-Mariners/90370…

 

[Gratis]

wow, genuinely didn't think that would happen

poor guy, hope he does well in his next move

 

[dibo]

Perth needs a new #1, don't they?

 

[rbakersmith]

Happy to re sign at @ccmariners, big preseason ahead...#buzzing

JPas out, Eddie to stay.

Pretty bummed about JPas, but hopefully he gets a starting gig elsewhere. Worst case scenario, he'll be able to walk in to a NPL starting gig.

 

[Big Al]

Two years to groom the next young stud. Would think.

 

[eenfish]

Who is the next young stud? Surely not Bradasevic? I heard he has ended up APIA?

 

[Big Al]

Find out in a few weeks I guess but would be silly to swap for a similar keeper unless he wanted to leave for maybe SFC as a backup
