Open Mike night

[Forum Phoenix]

. before asking questions my first suggestion to Mike is that the answer to all the questions already asked is not to blame our situation on the recruitment (and apparent failure) of Asdrubal - that sort of response will go down as well as a 'we are going to try Canberra again' announcement

Agree. It’s a game of fine margins obviously. And so sure, if Adsrubal proved a gun, we may not be having this conversation. BUT the odds on us failing are definitely being heavily weighted by our lack of expenditure across the squad.

Even if we had Bobo I could still easily see us having had a poor season. He is not scoring all his goals by himself. And a single injury to a key player with our poor depth...has crippled us too many times this season to think it’s all about Adsrubal.

A quality striker is an imperative for any team, we MUST have one (two actually) but we still have too many other issues that always compound very quickly due to our lack of quality and depth.

I am hearing that it will be well worth attending tomorrow night’s event, so let’s get the word out to have as many people there as possible.

This could be Gatty news???

 

[Pirate Pete]

Apart from Josho is anyone else going?
I'm hoping to get there but not till 7.20 at earliest

 

[Ancient Mariner]

I will be there, but need to know; Do we bring our own pitchforks and flaming brands or will they be provided at the door?

 

[Josho Howe]

Least we don't have to bring wooden spoons.

@Shaun Mielekamp
My question to Mike
We know that the CoE is intended to provide long-term financial stability to the club. However, with expansion on the table and a number of strong bids being presented, there's a concern that the FFA may start to reconsider the licenses of some of the existing teams. While it's great that we have long term plans in place, what are we doing to ensure the short-term survival of the club, especially given the number of rusted-on fans that are finally starting to turn their back? If more investment in the club isn't coming from yourself, where is it coming from?

So, if you dont like continual failure and under investment, you arent a real fan according to pikey
f**k you pal

 

[serious14]

Yep. That's 2 members from this household confirmed as not renewing until Charlesworth is gone. Idiot has less-than-zero idea what he is doing and unless genuine discontent makes itself heard to the point where he sells up and leaves us alone, we'll be handing back our license in 2025.

[Spacks]

He's just in it until the CoE is finished then he'll sell up and f**k off.

 

[FFC Mariner]

He's sold the tenanted offices so there is no cash flow. Word is he is in strife unless the council bale him out again but yes, he will f**k off the day he can

Summary for those unable to listen or attend?

 

[Wombat]

I dont believe that rumour to be true.

I believe many of the offices are tenanted but people were given the option to buy or lease, (as was I) Does anyone have any factual information in relation to revenue streams from the Office Block, Swimming pool, Soccer 5's, cafe/bar etc.
MC said ALL revenues from the COE are going straight back to the Mariners.

Pikey is not going anywhere soon. Are you serious, Serious...........that you are not going to the Football for the next 5 or 6 years?

 

[Wombat]

Summary for those unable to listen or attend?

Summary.

1. No one wants to buy us.
2. FFA are holding back the development of HAL and potential buyers.
3. Pikey isn't made of money and will lose nearly $1m this year.
4. He isn't going to spend up big.
5. We are going to be smarter in how we operate.

Most of that sounds like a cop out.

The only exciting bit was Mike Mulvey.

It was also good to hear that the rumours about the COE being independent of the Mariners was false according to Pikey.

(side note...Rowdy and Erin are comfortable and articulate with a mike in their hands.....future MC's at the gosford show perhaps?
Was good to finally meet Cafe Style and Pat Jennings in person. Top chaps.)
