ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

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.
That's if you think DDS is worth it. On last year that 500k of our cap was a massive waste. He was barely worth the 150k we gave him.So how is that in our (the fans) best interest?
It`s in our best interest for him to stay so Roma coughs up the $350,000 instead of MC.
I`m sure that money could be wisely spent elsewhere...
That would presume that Roma want him? They have had him out on loan ever since he was signed - they may just be happy to have some other team paying a % of his wage until his contract runs out. I presume given we announced a 3 year contract last year that we would be bound to pay that if Roma decide that THEIR best option is to have us paying that %, as apparently other teams are bulking at having his total earning counting towards the cap.
Your argument is the exact reason for no communication. It’s all still up in the air and you could presume we are still in the race until he finds an alternative as we hold the Current contract. He won’t get out until he has something else. Neither you or I would.With so much speculation about dds it is doing my head in. People saying he’s gone ........ he’s not gone ...........
He’s getting 150, 200, 500,000............. he’s waiting for grella, okon, city to make up their minds........... he’s looking for a flat on central coast, his brother has signed, his brother has not signed .............. now his parents are aware of his attitude problem
I don’t think I care anymore. What is frustrating is that management needs to update everybody about the state of affairs regarding the team ......
He did it the year before DDS signed so he actually saved 350k this year rather than lose it next year. So we get back to the point of if can't afford the floor or is unwilling then why are you here?
Who's gonna a pay him out? We won't and he won't pay us to leave. And noone wants to pay roma
Most mutual terminations require the club to pay out part of the player's contract. I'm pretty sure Eddy Bosnar and Marcel Seip left by mutual agreement, but it still cost us a fortune to get rid of them. It depends whether Brama and Baro wanted out or the club wanted them gone, but we almost certainly paid them something. If De Silva invokes the Okon Clause we probably wouldn't have to pay out any of his contract, whereas if we tried to negotiate a mutual termination we'd end up giving him a payout that he could then use to subsidise a deal with another A-League club offering lower wages. Given how tight the budget is I don't think the club would want to waste money paying out De Silva just to get the saga over with.
There are two types of mutual consent.
In theory yes, but you'd be surprised how often Type 1 still results in a player getting a payout, usually on the basis of unpaid bonuses and things like that. It will often be quite small, but the club very rarely wins. Even when you sell a player for a fee you can end up having to use the fee to compensate the player for unpaid bonuses.
