In January I think that they become Eligable.

Yep. I have a lot of time for Rosey....at his best was the top LB in the league but this is good for us. Possibly a bit of goodwill from MC as they have benefitted well from us in the past with player transfers. Now lets sign another player who can add more quality.

Mariners farewell club legend Josh Rose
Friday, 12 August 2016 - @CCMariners
The Central Coast Mariners can today confirm that Josh Rose has been granted permission by the club to pursue another opportunity within the Hyundai A-League.

Rose, who joined the Mariners in 2010 has notched up 177 Hyundai A-League appearances (12 with New Zealand Knights) and arrived on the Central Coast in 2010 from Romanian club, Universitatea Craiova.

A firm fan favourite on the Central Coast, ‘Rosey;’ has been a beloved personality for the Mariners thanks to his famous overlapping runs, versatility on the pitch and unwavering efforts in the community during his six seasons in yellow & navy.

The 2010/11 Mariners Medallist has experienced the highs and lows with the Central Coast Mariners having been involved with the heartbreaking Hyundai A-League 2010/11 Grand Final but most importantly the club’s maiden Hyundai A-League Championship in 2013.

In December last year, ‘Rosey’ etched his name into a special part of the Mariners’ history books when he made his 150th appearance for the club, joining the likes of Alex Wilkinson & John Hutchinson in the 150 club.

Speaking at the Central Coast Mariners Centre of Excellence before his departure, Josh Rose emotionally addressed the huge part that the Mariners have played in his life and thanked everyone for what has been an incredible journey on the Coast.

“It’s definitely mixed emotions,” Rose said. “I’m sad to be leaving this club that I’ve been a part of for six seasons now but really excited for my new adventure.

“I probably haven’t had the best 12 months, football wise for myself but things in football can change pretty quick and at the end of the day this is the best decision for myself and the club.

“The last thing I want to do as an experienced senior player is limit the playing time of any junior and young Mickey Neill has come along in leaps and bounds and is really making that left back spot his own. That was a big part of my decision and I see that as his position now so hopefully me moving on will help him realise that even more.

“This club is like a second home to me really: the fans, the boys in the dressing room are like my family.

“I can’t count how many times my wife has told me over the last six seasons that I love the club more than my own family, she’s probably not far off, she’s not right but she’s probably not far off because I love the boys in the dressing room like my brothers and whenever I see the fans out in the street they treat me like one of their own. I definitely think that will never change, I have formed friendships here that I will have forever.

“The Central Coast is a massive part of our lives, if I ever had the opportunity to come back as a player or something else to help this club than that would be a fantastic opportunity but football is a funny game and you never know what’s around the corner.

When asked about his fondest moment at the Central Coast Mariners, Rosey couldn’t go past the Championship win in 2013.

“Most definitely winning the Championship,” Rose said. “The group of boys we had that season were incredible, we went through some tough times that season with financial difficulties but it all grouped us and to win the Championship through out that turmoil topped it all off.

“I think that the Grand Final parade was probably the highlight for me, it was a fantastic day and I know that every player enjoyed that and the support from all of the fans.

“The fans have been very important, right from day one, the fan engagement is so important to all players. When I came here the fans made me feel so comfortable from day one, from the people in the office like Sharon and her crew when I turned up six years ago they just make you feel so welcome and really part of the club.


“It’s a massive bonus and it makes you feel so appreciated and I’ve always put in 100% for every game and the fans have been a massive part of that.

“I’d just like to say thank you and goodbye to everyone that’s been a part of my journey here for the last 6 seasons, the fans have been amazing and it’s been a fantastic time for me and my family.

“I honestly believe that this is the best decision for myself and the club, I leave with no resentment, no hard feelings, the club have been fantastic for me and when this opportunity came up the club helped me in the best way possible,” Rose said.

The Central Coast Mariners wish ‘Rosey’ all the best in his future endeavours

#ThanksRosey

Now that is how you leave a club in style.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Print it out and show it to Caceres.

Sounds like he didnt fancy losing his place

 

[dibo]

There's not a lot wrong with that - he's got his pride and he neither wishes Neill nor the club ill.

Just so much class from the man.

 

[Timmah]

One of the most professional and gracious parting of ways I've seen in Australian sport lately. A credit to both Josh & the club IMO

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

Jason Davidson isn't getting any game time at Huddersfield Town and we have no marquees meaning we could have him come in on loan for next to nothing if Huddersfield are willing. Would be a very good upgrade on Josh Rose.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Outstanding. What a class act. You will be missed Rosey. Hutch's assistant in three years

This shit stirring effort on the other hand...

Sad to see him tarnishing his legacy with his increasingly bitter swipes

Sad to see him tarnishing his legacy with his increasingly bitter swipes

This... So much... I realise that he's probably trying to do his to stir up the derby feelings again, but the thing is that, for me, he's too much of a recognised individual with us, to take on the "Jets-bastard-front" so-to-speak. So I find myself with a rising dislike of him rather than the Jest - and that saddens me a bit, obviously

Already unliked and unfollowed him on all social media, I get that you need to feed your family but don't expect a Mariners fan to stick around and listen to your banter with Joel farkwit Griffiths....

 

[pjennings]

I understand Monty will, but in January.

Fab should be eligible now.

That would be brilliant if he would come home.

McKinna under fire for comments on Rose:

Central Coast and Newcastle have not waited until the trial game on Saturday to go into battle, with Mariners CEO Shaun Mielekamp objecting to Jets counterpart Lawrie McKinna's public comments on player and coaching developments at his old club.

McKinna coached the Mariners in their first five years in the A-League and has since served as Gosford Mayor but Mielekamp said now that McKinna was working for a rival club he should restrict his comments to Jets business.

Central Coast announced on Friday that veteran defender Josh Rose had been released from the final year of his contract with the club. It was subsequently announced Rose had signed a one-year deal with Melbourne City.

McKinna was quoted in a story on FourFourTwo website saying "fans are wanting to know why Josh Rose has gone".

"I'm at the Jets now, I'm just focusing on what's happening here, but Josh Rose has been a great servant," McKinna said.

"Josh has got his reasons for leaving. I sent him a message just so I can wish him all the best and he got back to me.

"If that was Newcastle Jets, I'd be letting people know why people like Josh Rose have left the club. I wouldn't be having speculation there because there is too much speculation at the moment."

But Mielekamp stressed Central Coast had included a detailed message from Rose in the club's media release announcing the player's departure, in which Rose, 34, said he didn't want to stand in the way of young players coming through at the club.

"I probably haven't had the best 12 months, football-wise, for myself, but things in football can change pretty quick and at the end of the day this is the best decision for myself and the club," Rose said.

"The last thing I want to do as an experienced senior player is limit the playing time of any junior and young Mickey Neill has come along in leaps and bounds and is really making that left-back spot his own.

"That was a big part of my decision and I see that as his position now so hopefully me moving on will help him realise that even more."

Mielekamp told The World Game he had spoken to McKinna to voice his concerns.

"We gave Josh the opportunity to have a one-on-one with our members to explain and he did a really good job in explaining his decision," Mielekamp said.

"Lawrie needs to focus on Newcastle. I'm sure everyone in Newcastle wants to talk about Newcastle, not the Central Coast Mariners.

"We gave Josh Rose every opportunity to speak openly and honestly and there isn't any more to it. I think Lawrie is speaking without all of the information available to him.

"I've spoken to Lawrie to clear the air. Lawrie has assured me it was never his intention to come across this way in the article and I made the point to him that we made sure Josh Rose had a personal message to our members in his own words."

McKinna was also quoted on the Central Coast coaching situation in the article, suggesting the club should go for an Australian coach to replace Tony Walmsley, who was sacked earlier this week.

Mielekamp said the Mariners would fill the vacant coaching spot how the club saw fit.

"It's not Lawrie's or any other CEO's place to make comments about opposition coaches or players," he said.

"It's totally inappropriate. We would never make comments about the coaching situation at another club, nor expect any other club to make comment about our coaching position.

"I'm sure Lawrie would hate for me to talk about his coach or players in any way. He understood my concerns, when I spoke to him."

McKinna told The World Game it was never his intention to come across as if he was questioning the actions of his former club.

"If anybody took my comments the wrong way, I apologise for it," he said. "I was just making the point Jose Rose has been a great servant for the Mariners and he'll be sadly missed by the fans."

Mielekamp said Rose had made the first move about leaving.

"To be honest, he approached us and in his own words he talks about Mickey Neill in that fullback spot and the reality was Tony Walmsley was playing Josh more as a centre-back, which isn't his natural role," Mielekamp said.

"Josh came to us and said he was looking at an opportunity at another club where he could play in his favoured position and he is a club legend, so for us we have all the respect to do the right thing by Josh.

"What it does create is the opportunity for us to now recruit a strong centre-back, so at the moment it's a situation where we're saddened to see him move on, but he said himself he's doing it in the best interests of the club."

The Jets-Mariners trial match kicks off at Scully Park, Tamworth, at 4pm.

Bullshit !

"If anybody took my comments the wrong way, I apologise for it," he said. "I was just making the point Jose Rose has been a great servant for the Mariners and he'll be sadly missed by the fans."

a) Again .... Bullshit !
b) only half of the point you were trying to make
...... the other half of which, was CCM fans deserved answers as to why Rosey left.

THAT was the point you were trying to make.
