Our Beloved Monty

[Ironbark]

We all know already, but just in case anyone needs the closure - it's definitely a done deal. The club confirmed it internally to all the staff on Thursday.

I imagine they may have a caretaker coach until we appoint a permanent one

Get over it

Oh I’m over it, I’m not the one who has to share someone else’s private messages to try and score internet points.

However he did, and its done. Maybe not the choice you would have made, but those included knew who they were sharing with.

Those included knew who they were sharing with - which didn’t include those on this forum. It’s a dick move - as FFC said above, what happens in group chat, stays in group chat.

Ive discussed the situation with dad as he is a personal friend of Montys. As much as we both love Monty and Serge and we wish them well no matter what the outcome our allegiance is to The Mariners as a Football Club. We will support them through thick and thin. Tomorrow is just the start of the next leg of our football rollercoaśter ride. Mariners til we die!

Ben Cahn was our Academy Coach. He was doing an awesome job and brought Nizzy and Dan Hall to the club. He was ousted by Okon to put in a "yes man" Sully. Okon was actually scared that Cahn would eventually take his job as Okon's plan A was not working. Sully eventually took over from Okon with woeful results.
Cahn then went back to Queensland NPL and turned Olympic FC into a powerhouse, breaking all sorts of club records along the way.
This year to departed to join Melbourne Knights and took them to the finals for the first time since 2015 and they scored the most goals they have ever scored in a season.

Really nice bloke too. Already knows the club really well. He is the perfect fit.

Perfect summation. Agree with all of this. What made me think even more highly of him as a person was when he went out of his way to come and say hello to Luke Boyce and l on a Brisbane away day 2019ish, can't remember specific date but it was a nice thing to do and even after being shafted by previous administration, had nothing but praise and love for the club and always appreciated anyone who came to watch and support his NPL side.

As Wombat said, he's the perfect coach and person for us as a club.

Shafted by Okon and Jolic but neither had the guts to face him

Serious question. Have we even approached Cahn? Is he even in the running?

We can talk about how great he would be but if he isn’t in the frame, is there anybody else at all we are looking at?

Hutch was shafted by Okon also - by text I think.

Okon made someone else pull the trigger on Hutch. Wouldn’t face him.

Okon didnt have the guts to front Hutch either.

While I wouldn’t expect you to share screenshots… can you say if the picture looks promising? Is it a positive list of candidates?

It was left to Ken to give Ben Cahn the bad news. I was actually in the office when it happened….

I don’t actually know exactly who else is on the shortlist in all honesty!
