went to the Moscow circus last night.
I think a better option is the Russian clown .
the guy has great balance .does a great trick with a ballon.
also as danny will be away for the 1st month .he can provide the comic relief.
the added bonus is he speaks Russian if the mystery investors ever show .
it's my prefered option

That's correct Recky. I know it will not make one iota difference, and I certainly do not expect anyone else to act as I will. But I cannot take out membership knowing we have tossed away our no dickheads policy, and have spent money on this guy, over an above a young up and coming player (or anyone else!)
I may go to the occassional game, I'll see how I feel during the season. My wife and kids hate Reddy as well, but of course are free to make their own decisions.
I'm sure I will be roundly criticised by everyone - feel free

That's 3 members I know who won't renew if we sign him.
I don't agree but it's their right

Lucky we don't have a no dickhead fan policy.
Hopefully, once you have washed off your dummy, you will come and support the team that you love.

Consider this... There are people in this world who only invest in "ethical" companies, despite "unethical" companies (companies that use child labour, destroy the environment etc) may make the investor 10 times the profit. It gives them a sense of satisfaction. Similarly, there are people who won't invest in the Mariners because they don't want to show up game after game to see a prat standing where Mat Ryan used to stand.
There are also some people who are undecided whether to spend their hard earned $$$'s on a membership. These people don't need much of a reason not to fork out their dough... and for those people, I fully understand the decision to put the money into a better cause.
People are free to make a stand. All I ask is that if you feel passionate enough about this issue, make sure your voice doesn't go unheard. Make your feelings known to the club.
Personally, I always thought the no DH policy was a bit of a myth. Dickheads cost money... Sack whack, Berisha, Muscat... money that we don't have. One of the few benefits of being a poor club is that there is only room for hard workers that have nothing to lose and everything to prove. As a result, we have a strong culture... a culture that I'm sure will keep Reddy in check. That doesn't mean I'll cheer for him... but I won't boo him. I'll keep my eye on him.

Central Coast Mariners to sign sacked Sydney FC goalkeeper Liam Reddy
GOALKEEPER Liam Reddy has got a lifeline back into the A-League after agreeing terms on a deal to join the Mariners.
Sixteen months after he was sacked by Sydney FC, Reddy will formally sign what’s being described as “a zero-tolerance contract” tomorrow to replace Mathew Ryan at the champions, having convinced Graham Arnold he will repay the faith.
The 31-year-old’s chequered career has taken in stints with four previous A-League clubs, the most recent ending at Sydney FC after he was kicked out for getting drunk on the flight to a game.
After a brief spell in Iran Reddy returned to win the NSW Premier League with Sydney United last week, and convinced Arnold over an extended trial that he could have a role at club with a famously collegiate ethos.
It’s understood Reddy has accepted he will have no second chances, and effectively has to earn the belief of supporters who have not all reacted kindly to the prospect of his joining the club.
Nonetheless Arnold has made clear his belief that Reddy will not prove a gamble, after the departure of Ryan to Belgian side Club Brugges at the end of last season.
His arrival will continue the remodelling of one of the most settled defences in the competition, with Pedj Bojic having left the club like Ryan and Patrick Zwaanswijk retired to join the club’s coaching staff.
Meanwhile the Mariners will start the hunt immediately for up to 20 talented indigenous footballers aged 13-16 as the first cohort in an elite pathway enabled by last week’s federal government grant.
A million dollars of the $10m made available to the club last week will be spent on creating new facilities at the National Football School, a Mount Penang private school associated with the Mariners, to house those selected from term one next year.
The 20 scholarships will be paid for by the school and the Mariners.
The other $9m will go towards finishing the facilities at the club’s centre of excellence including a new grandstand and lighting. Though the money has proved a controversial grant in some quarters, chairman Peter Turnbull insisted it would provide a regional benefit.
“Of course we will use it but this will be a community facility,” Turnbull insisted. “Not only can people in the area use these top-class facilities, but it will also deliver to the area the pre-eminent professional football academy in the country.
“Once we finish the centre we expect it to be even more attractive to national teams of various ages, and also to Asian sides looking for pre-season camps and so on. All of that has benefits for the region.”
