The club has been questionable in many areas but I don't get the above hate over Nisbet's contract.
He was only offered a professional contract for the remainder of the 2018/2019 A-League Season - not for the 2019/2020 season.

https://www.ccmariners.com.au/news/josh-nisbet-earns-a-league-call
"The Central Coast Mariners are thrilled to announce that academy midfielder, Joshua Nisbet has earned an A-League promotion for the remainder of the Hyundai A-League 2018/19 season.
...
Contracted until at least the end of the Hyundai A-League 2018/19 season, the faith shown by Mulvey is a reward for Nisbet’s hard work within the Mariners Academy set up since arriving from Queensland two years ago....."

He may well deserve a longer contract as many of us argue for but that's not what was announced, so how can the club now be accused of withdrawing that or reneging on it? I assume the club is simply dangling the carrot out for him to keep performing for the Academy season and whoever is there to sign players for the next A-League season can take his ongoing performance into consideration at that point in time and determine if another full time contract is warranted.

He was signed on a scholarship contract for this year until the 31st May. He was told by Mulvey that he would be on a full contract from 1 June. The club would not sign a pre-contract commitment and when they did offer him the contract it was for another 12 months on a scholarship not a full upgrade as promised. There was no carrot to keep performing for the Academy as he has not been with the Academy squad since Christmas, except for the pre season game yesterday.

Mallon was better than Hoole but not a 7.5
I reiterate what I posted earlier, I like mallon but he isn’t doing anything better or different to what Kekeris would. So therefore Mulvey is killing the development of an excellent young Aussie.

Hoole just honestly needs to be taken out the back and put down. Absolute dogshit player and person.

How did the academy game go?

Yep. I just don’t see the point either now. Though reneging might possibly damage our relationship with Sheffield.

Kekeris and Mallon are on different wings.
Glassock is not ready for A League.

Let's not be silly peoples. We still want to win games.

 

[FFC Mariner]

We no longer have a relationship with Sheffield. Havent for a while now

We are far from anywhere near winning a game, I just don’t see any reason for the Sheffield boys. They are ok for their age but offer nothing for the development of the current players or next year as they both will likely not be here.

Same goes for Mulvey.

 

[FFC Mariner]

So would Kekeris have been as shit as Mallon on Friday? I doubt it

Sink or swim time. Lets ses what the academy kids have to offer. If they suck then no one will complain when they don’t get new contracts. If they do sew them up and one less spot to worry about next year.

Winning would be nice but is no longer a priority the spoon is ours after one win with the current setup.

 

[pinklady]

How did the academy game go?

1sts lost 0-1 to WSW (twice taken penalty - no complaints correct decision)
20s lost 2-3 might've been 2-4 not sure. Remember we had 17 fresh players in 1sts and 1 backing up after half a game in 20s so very much under strength.

Pretty sure you boys are exaggerating how good nisbet is.

So are you saying the club has withdrawn the offer to him of an A-League contract for the remainder of this season?

Yeah but it should be pain wide right Mallon left Pain’s a great winger. Think he’s less effective tucked inside.

I’d like to see Nisbet off the bench each game with 30 to go and Kekeris with 20 coming in for Mallon - and he and Pain switch sides.

Glassock I’ve hardly seen play so don’t know.,

Pretty sue you haven't seen him. Only f**ktards like CCMFC wouldn't sign him to a 2 year contract.. The boy is quality.

 

[Michael]

Did you watch his 2 appearances? He proved how good he is.

You sound like a Melling fan worried he won’t start in 2 weeks.

He's shown he's worth a cheap professional deal. No need to get carried away with it but it would be smart spending and allow us to invest in areas that we need to spend a fair bit on to improve.
