New coach - now we know

[Corsair]

Do we reckon Jacko is here next year?

A large part of his reason for coming was his daughter being here. Not saying he won't get a big offer from another A league club but I'd be surprised to see him go OS if his family is still here.

 

[Huddo]

Hibs loss if he goes, 6 months and 5 players brought in isn't enough to implement Monty's style

Jacko andthe Nix bloke show that a good coach makes a massive difference. On the other side of the ledger the good self promoters who are actually shit.
Yes you Rudan - either of the 2 above walk the league with your resources. As one of them will with 1/2 the money he has

There will be the usual mass exodus from CCM next year. People will get upset but it's the same every season and it's how the club functions.
I can see 5 of last nights side going
Niz
Max
Hall
Torres
Doka
(these are guesses by the way FTBL)
Plus MDP and Reec loans will end.
Big recruitment job coming up

I thought Hall had already signed with Auckland FC.

 

[pjennings]

And Farrell you'd think. I'd like to keep Doka but depends what the offer is I guess

Mauragis is rumoured to be coming to us according to the commentary of the Jets game this afternoon. so that would probably mean that Faz is either already committed elsewhere or is likely to move.

Not an upgrade but defs a solid replacement.

Pretty sure Pete said already committed elsewhere but insisted he saw this season out with us.

I can update on that one - he’s not committed to go anywhere. In typical Faz fashion he’s very laissez-faire about the prospect of any move. Whatever will be, will be. But yes, we have thrown decent money at Mauragis in the expectation that Faz will go.

Well if he doesn't go it's clear we need a backup LB anyway.

(I have only read the headline) Slater is such an irrelevant twat "bravery" - really? not outstanding recruitment, not excellent technical coaching and tactics. Merely bravery.
Can see why he has no job anywhere near the game

To be fair if you read the article and not just the headline it reflects a direct quote from Jackson himself which is a pretty consistent journalism trait.

I totally agree with the first part but he did say it was from the Murdoch press…

I agree and I thought the interesting part of the story was the first hand account of his recruitment

 

[Revilo]

What a coach we have on our hands, in his first season with such a massive turnover of players. Massive achievement! Congrats Mark, we are lucky to have you!

Top coach

Build him a statue

When we win the treble, I'll cut one out of ice myself. And I'm not talking about my drug habit. 🤪

 

[Ozhammer]

Props to Monty for recommending Jacko to put his hat in the ring, shows how much he cares about CCM, as most other former managers wouldn’t necessarily want their successor to go better than they did.

Not just that, but coming in so late in the preseason means he comes in and has to work with somebody else's vision of how the team was built this season.

That's a big challenge for everybody.

I loved hearing last night about how even after our 4th loss at the start, spirits were high.

Just amazing effort and seems to be a coach that really understands what this club is about.
