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.
Yes but if we take off the yellow glasses for a moment - given the Jets have a solid and stable coach, and made the GF last year - and we haven’t made finals for 5 years, he is arguably doing what’s best for both him AND his client.
I agree. Rallis moved Millar for personal gain. The further implication here is that the Jets knew exactly what they were doing too
) on his books the opportunity to sign with one of those nine clubs. And we’re also historically the team that is forced to take more chances and pick up players that other clubs are not interested in signing. 
Also works in reverse there are only limited amount of players quality enough to play for the 10 teams. If he has enough clients we will have to work with him no matter what it’s just about being smarter and getting deals that suits the club as well.Self interest is not likeable but expected and we put a lot of blood into the water.
But I will never like the: something is weak we can exploit it ethos. And in such a small pond, it’s very short sighted.
Putting the brokering stuff aside which cannot be tolerated, Rallis can argue he’s just looking after his existing client, and would. But at what cost?
In a country with 9 professional teams he’s just cost every young player (and out of form and injured seniors
So for whatever he gained in this instance,
by losing the mariners from his options, there’s no arguing that for a percentage of the players he represents, he has lost them potential work, and for others may well have scuppered their chance to even become professional footballers.
I’m sure he’s sharp as a tack and works very hard like he claims. But he’s clearly also greedy and arrogant. Blight on the game imo.
That’s only if you are looking at a purely financial outcome - Millar might have said he wants to win games, and if Rallis could find $xxxx from a club in a more competitive position, he would take it, regardless of counter offer.
Im disappointed but why all the outrage - not sure if any player's value was increasing other than Miller's at that point of the season. wanted to be developed - makes sense. we don't have a track record of being competitive, ie Wales and other younger players. I get the move.
I get the move too - and even if Millar took a lower Jets offer, because, well, who wants to be here right now.
