New Owners?

[style_cafe]

Ok, it`s good news and news we all hope is true but I`ll believe it when I see him dressed in our colours and sitting at a Mariner`s game.
We`ve been burnt before by rumours of Russiaans,Chinese etc.so i`ll remain cautiously optimistic.
At the very least it`s a sunny break on a cloudy day,something to warm the heart....
Thanks for the heads up Pirate Pete

While l was excited to read that article where he has said all the right things and outlined his plans, l am hesitant to fully buy in at this stage. As some have already mentioned, l will start to believe these words when the action starts.

He has money and isnt Charlesworth. He'll do

Worked so well up the freeway.

The wife was in Erina Fair today and "Mrs Helou" was talking to her when she mentioned tha Mariners. Apparently he is buying a 90% share and putting the other 10% as community owned. The owner of Aroma's in EF volunteered to buy the 10% there and then lol. Lots of talk about excellent youngsters but we need to recruit some experienced pro's of excellent quality to lead and develop them. Fingers and everything else crossed!

So the community fund needs to be in the range of $400k I guess. Doable for sure.

assuming the figure of 4mill was correct

 

[Wombat]

$700k.

$4m just for the license.
$7m for everything including CoE.

 

[Ozhammer]

I think the figure with the CoE would be higher from what I have heard tbh.

Where are you getting those figures from?

Didn`t the Govt chip in $10m a few years ago...

Club ownership will probably be separated just like Charlesworth.
Allowing community ownership of the club

That's what i was told Pat.
Having said that I have heard various figures mentioned. Pikey should be infront as he sold a lot of the office space already and as Cafe states the Govt gave him a very decent leg up.

Yes, that makes sense. In which case $400k is easily attainable. It will be interesting to see what model Mark B comes up with. Designed and marketed properly this could allow us to have our highest ever membership drive.

A new owner and some decent signings would give a heap of momentum towards rebuilding the supporter base. Not expecting world beaters in this economic climate but a few key signings to show intent would be huge for us. Picture resigning Birraz and adding a quality striker, attacking mid/play maker and CB. That would be huge for us and give a platform to market and grow from. Unless we have a really charismatic killer signing chuck the armband to Ziggy, he's familiar, one of our best last season and has a character that resonates with the central coast.

I wonder where Anton fits into this picture...

 

[soccer mad]

What ever happened to Anton

Just look at Leeds United in EPL for a guide.

I like Anton and want him to stick solid. A good Football man unlike Pikey, who is an optunistic Leeds groupie.
