Mariners Squad - HAL 14 - 2018- 2019 - The challenge for Mike Mulvey is over

[Coastalraider]

I think Mulvey gave a big hint when he mentioned that Visa players had a disadvantage as they had to wait x amount of weeks to clear a working visa before they could play.

I guess the catch would be if a player already had a visa.
Does anyone know if a visa to play would only be allowed for a particular employer - like a spp sorship visa? And how long does it last?
For instance, would Berisha still be covered by a visa from his Victory days? Or could we recruit another teams player who is released if they are currently playing under a visa?

Nix announced an irish guy today. They hope to slot him in the next game. Wheres his Visa time restriction as Mulvey mentioned??

Not sure on the visa question but Besart is now an Aussie citizen and wouldn't need to worry about a visa

Gotcha.

This constant rebooting of the same failed plan must surely be ringing alarm bells somewhere?

Hypothesis:
We continue losing, Mulvey leaves the club, an interim coach is put in place, no new signings in January as we want to give the new coach (when appointed) a free hand.
Get spoon
New coach in off season
Hype and lies start again.
Collection of has beens and new coach's mates get signed
Meanwhile, whatever half decent youth we have (Glassock, Kekeris, Nisbett) leave for clubs that value them
Sick of it to be honest

Seems to me like MC has been waiting for "The New A-League" and looking at that as better opportunity to invest - either himself, or by selling to someone else. Guess we will find out, or it will be another repeat of the steps FFC outlined. The process starting in pre-season next season of course, giving us another season without a pre-season because time is needed to scope out a coach, players, etc.

I forgot that bit
Plus line up shit NPL sides to batter in preseason so everyone gets excited and renews memberships

Went down to see if any new boys were at training today, got there at 11:30 and they were all packed up and gone. Only Matt Nash and Monty there locking up. Curious thing was there were a couple of NBN News cars down there interviewing someone behind the sheds, I could see the cameras and Interviewers but couldn’t see who they were talking to.

 

[pjennings]

I was there about an hour before and the only people I saw were Monty, Nash and Mel.

 

[marinermick]

Earlier training because of the heat

Damnnnnnn

While other clubs have been busy signing players in this transfer window, nothing,nada,zilch from the Mariners.

 

[Cricko_086]

Well that is what we do, we wait until all options have been taken and pick from the leftovers, no?

 

[Big Al]

I'm curious to know exactly when the January transfer window opens.
I've seen both January 3 and January 4 used as starting dates for Australia.

Definitely 3rd. I posted a link to FIFA in a thread but not sure where. Things can be announced when ever they want but paper work can’t be lodged until the 3rd

1. They are under the NZ government
2. It’s called planning. If you had a player lined up already you’d already have applied. We either not that smart or don’t have one lined up prior to the window or we could be being lied to. Take your pick

I pick C
All of the above!!

 

[MagpieMariner]

I don't think the council cares. Idk anything except snippets of things l have heard, but the council is anti-Mariners l believe.

I think there's still a load of dinosaurs there who really believe the Central Coast Bears will get a run in the NRL, in spite of the NRL saying no they won't.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

MV announcing a few signings too . Want to see what we have. Better announce it soon

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

Would Flores be a decent 10?

No, love the guy, but he’s no longer able to hold his own in the HAL. It has progressed hugely and he like all players is regressing with age.
