Mariners Squad - HAL 12 - 2016 - 2017

[dibo]

He's also about to become the manager of Nigeria, so that's unlikely.

In better news, we're re-signing Buhagiar for another year.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Storrie and Redknapp.

Only Charlesworth would be so stupid. I assume he doesn't have access to google or anyone with a passing knowledge of English football.

I've always liked Harry.

Great move by the club I think. This is the kind of outside the box thinking required to help a small regional club thrive both on and off the field at the same time as far as I'm concerned.

Provide experienced mentors to help the development and support of people most committed to our club long term, not just as a stepping stone. We're not positioned to survive the privileged cycle of spending and rapid paced hiring and firing that has become so commonplace in world football.

People like Harry and Garcia are also very important in building allies and vital networks. We need to think bigger and better if we're to succeed long term agains bigger clubs in better markets. Personally think this is doing exactly that.

connect the club with his ties abroad.

I suspect this is main point of his consultancy

Comment from my Portsmouth supporting mate:

Well it did turn out well for Portsmouth in the end... Oh wait...

Also on the night Central Coast Mariners Owner, Mike Charlesworth announced that Harry Redknapp is on board to assist Mariners’ recruitment to help unearth gems such as Mitch Austin and lure them to the Central Coast.

The former Tottenham Hotspur, Queens Park Rangers and West Ham United boss will work as a consultant to not only the Central Coast Mariners football department, but also connect the Yellow & Navy with his ties abroad.

I love Arry.
That is exciting news as his connections and knowledge would be immense.
I will also go to any fan forum that he does as I love to hear his thoughts and he is a great talker. (I've never been to one before, due to lack of interest ).

COYY

 

[dibo]

I'm more worried about what signing 'Arry to any sort of arrangement means than what signing Storrie alone meant.

Not least because it's possible he's just turned down the Nigeria job. [edit]that was based on a somewhat excitable story that has exactly no quotes from anybody and loads of speculation[/edit]

With the two together, we can look forward to a blaze of glory.

Redknapp as manager, Defoe up front, Dawson down the back, a tide of red ink. We finish fourth, go bust and get relocated to Canberra...

I'd genuinely prefer another year limping along with Walmsley, and surviving to the new TV deal.

Ha!

I just don't see it. Everything we've done has been about cuting costs. Just because these 2 may be here i can't see MC abandoning his restraint on spending. No matter what they may have done before.

 

[dibo]

Then what's the point?

HAHA.
That is gold!

 

[scottmac]

Then what's the point?

Getting what we want.
Obviously.

 

[dibo]

I can't figure out what it is we want, or how Harry gets it for us.

 

[FFC Mariner]

You'll need to speak to my chairman about that......

Storrie gets his old mate a paid for holiday to Australia

 

[banarama]

"Whats the point" Me suspects its all a bit of a distraction. Now that Harry is consultant, ccm fans will be ok for TW to stay on.

 

[bikinigirl]

re Wilko

. apparently it was NOT a money thing ... and i have no reason to suspect otherwise

. it was a timing thing ... and for that the club must take responsibility. this was one of the few opportunities they had to demonstrate that they still are a 'family club' ... and they blew it

. very, very disappointed

You'll just have to wait and see then hey.

My guess is he'll work with TW, kind of like a mentor so that we don't have to spend money on a real gaffer.

What does that mean, that "it's a timing thing"?
I mean if the reports are even close to accurate, it can't be that we didn't bid in time because by all accounts we were in there before anyone else. It can't be that he didn't know we were interested either because they've made no bones about it since before the end of the regular season.

 

[Big Al]

Harry will be like a lawyer for us.

I'm here to help when ever you need it.

Tony just give me a call and we can talk about it. Just let me punch the clock first so I can send a bill for the consultation.

We are last leaking goals, qualifying year for Socceroos.
Can't be helping us rebuild when Socceroo spot on the line
Or while Tony is coach the timing is never going to be right
