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

[Insertnamehere]

This is a salary capped league!!
For a team to consistently struggle in a salary capped league is crazy. The whole idea of a salary cap is to even things out.
CCM is being poorly run.

Semi capped. There are a raft of marquees and ways to bypass the salary cap. It's more a soft cap.

 

[Ozhammer]

It is a salary capped league in name only. There is a salary cap which any club can spend between 90% and 100% of the cap.
Then you can add Marquee # 1 for which you can then spend as much as you like.
Then you can add Marquee #2 for which you can also spend as much as you like.
Then you can add (last season) a Player of National significance (Timmy rule) for which you can spend as much as you like and the FFA will help you.
You can also pre load contracts and promise people in the cap Marquee wages in the future.
A club with rich owners could spend 10x the salary cap and still be following the rules.

If you believe this FFA salary cap evens things out you must also believe in the tooth fairy.

This with bells on. The way the current cap system is implemented hands the richer clubs a huge advantage, whilst hamstringing the less affluent ones (us). The whole thing needs reviewing and changes made to lessen the impact of richer clubs being able to game the system.

Wondering how the other clubs operate. Do they have owners throwing in millions of dollars every year out of their own pocket?
Or are they somehow generating more money and doing things CCM isn't?

Both I believe

Good argument except for the first assumption. He's a multi millionaire so you can assume he is no fool and therefore he must make profits.It is obvious that ccm is not his cash cow but he does receive the ffa cash that he doesn't spend............. but any losses he makes in the football arena ......... Sorry, read business expenses, can all be written off. Now that you point out the delayed coe that in itself would be booking enormous losses ......... Don't feel sorry for me as I'm in mourning ........... I lost a goldfish today, last night actually. I take it he didn't like the aldi chardonnay either.

But CCM does not make a profit? So he has nothing to write off against.

He can’t write off phone sex profits on CCM. Unless maybe he’s getting the boys to man the hot lines in between training sessions.

you see it all the time

Ben Halloran has just been released from his J-League club. Ex Mulvey player. Would certainly add to our wide players and given lack of game time in Germany and Japan he probably wouldn't command a huge salary.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Halloran would be a great signing imo.

We do have a fieldable 11. Hopefully we will have a better one soonish, however most likely:

KENNEDY

McGing — Cisse — Rowles — Clisby

Hiariej — Melling

Hoole — weemac — Pain

Simon

TBH this time last year we had Kennedy, Pearce, McGing, Baro, Rowles, Golec, Liam Rose, Hiariej, Berry, Appiah, Hoole, Pain & Buhagiar. No Asdrubal, no DDS, no Wout, no Josh Rose

We have lost Baro, Liam Rose, Appiah and Buhagiar but added Gauci, Clisby, Aspro, Cisse, Shabow, McGlinchey, Simon and Hiariej. We have the $900,000 - $1,000,000 left to spend for between 2 and 5 players. I think we are likely to add a first team RB, a winger and a CS.

 

[Offsider]

Let's not confuse him with the club. He may be the owner of the club but by no means does he recieve the ffa grant. The club does. The club spends what it has and he kicks in the shortfall. That's the way I believe it happens anyway.

What ????

The club is to blame for not spending the cap ???

So how does that work ??? ............. Is mc just as pissed off with ''the club" as the fans are ????

 

[marinermick]

Bernie Ibini? Not doing that well in the states.

Would give us good cash for the other two positions.

I always preferred Bernie in a beanie....

Berni is awesome but pretty sure every other club would be ahead of us in that line

Especially SFC if they loose Adrian and Bobo

Not sure what your going on about there.

I mean, granted a lot has changed and he's been elsewhere since but... Rumour had it that he was keen to stay with us rather than going to SFC when he left and was sent on a loan to them in stead. So maybe? That is if he's on his way away that is.

Explains why the training schedule was a joke last year. Must have been awkward hitting the phones, first caller through is Okon from the carpark...

Unprofessional c**t.
Going to Sydney as a marquee replacement for Bobo is hilarious though.

 

[Wombat]

Good they have stopped his wages.
Little parasite......its about time we got tougher with these grubs

 

[greenlig]

DDS can f**k off.

Still applies.
