Gotta say this is dragging on.
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!
If you want to get rid of this message, simply click on Join Now or head over to https://www.ccmfans.net/community/register/ to join 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.
Hi @NZ_Football - nice of you to mention McGlinchey as a "former" #CCMFC player. Better check who you sent your request for his participation for your friendly against Uzbekistan to recently. @NZ_Football http://bit.ly/1pBCIOF
Agree.I don't think the wee man has any issues with the mariners, he either thought he was no longer contracted or had found a loop hole and could take big money from Wellington. I think he is mature enough to come back and play well
Good Luck Phoenix,
Never write off the MarinersReports coming out that weemac is remaining a mariner...

No it was moved from phoenix players to new Zealand players overseas.Interestingly the entire WeeMac thread over at Yellow Fever appears to have been removed, and they've prevented discussion on the arbiter's decision.
STATEMENT: Michael McGlinchey
The independent arbitrator in the contract dispute regarding Central Coast Mariners FC, Wellington Phoenix FC, Professional Footballers Australia (PFA), and Michael McGlinchey this afternoon ruled that McGlinchey remains rightfully contracted to Central Coast Mariners FC Pty Ltd – the company which holds the Central Coast Mariners license to compete in the Hyundai A-League.
Central Coast Mariners FC acknowledges Wellington Phoenix FC’s communications this evening stating their intention to seek legal advice regarding the independent arbitrator’s decision.
However, the Mariners find Wellington Phoenix FC’s statement regarding “whether or not McGlinchey and other players have been, and are actually contracted to, the legal entity that holds the license for the Central Coast Mariners to play in the Hyundai A-league” as unnecessary and unhelpful.
The Mariners remain committed to open and transparent dialogue with Football Federation Australia (FFA) and Wellington Phoenix FC regarding all matters.
Central Coast Mariners also note public comments made by PFA Chief Executive, Mr Adam Vivian, regarding the independent arbitrator’s decision this afternoon.
Central Coast Mariners Chairman, Mr Michael Charlesworth, thanked Mr Peter Kite SC, the independent arbitrator in the McGlinchey case, for his decision today.
Charlesworth said that despite the fresh comments made by Wellington Phoenix FC and the PFA, Mariners management remains steadfast in their belief that McGlinchey is rightfully contracted to the Club, and that that will be proven to be correct again in any further legal proceedings.
“I’m not convinced that the PFA are now acting, as they should, in the best interests of Michael McGlinchey, the Clubs, or the Hyundai A-League,” Mr Charlesworth said.
The club just released a statement:
