Players signing on the basis of...

[dibo]

Has a habit of that. Can't dazzle us with brilliance, so baffles us with bullshit.

 

[marinermick]

He is only really serving to promote the kid with all this publicity

If the selectors were seriously only looking a players because of their names, then both my brother and I would have contracts/trials....

 

[mario]

Notice he didnt answer the question

Sorry Micky mouse no little johnny so I would have the last laugh and so would alot of others if you keep putting these mate rate players on the field.Oh and how are we going with players bringing money into the club, it must be consoling to the whole league in these names being sold for millions overseas and never having to bring them back after 1 or 2 or 3 years and having to keep them employed obviously this is the way the league will prosper.So keep up the good work, look for reasons to make it LOOK good.Oh yeah which players are drawing money into the league??????????????????????? in to the club??????????? Are the olyroos scoring or were their feet toooooooooooooooo cold??????????????

 

[scoober]

Mario, do you only post when you get free time out of your padded cell at the mental home?

What you say still makes no sense to anyone!

 

[Wombat]

Been smoking that Ash herbal incense i reckon.

NIce post Mario. Still

Impressive thread.

Think I'll get a job as a professional tennis player or perhaps an actor in an American sitcom. With a name like Becker, I'm sure to get a massive gig.

Seriously though Mario, you're taking a small issue that exists in every sport, club, political party, workplace, school playground, etc, etc and magnifying it by a thousand. Life is about family, friends, relationships, influence, power and getting what you want out of life. Judging by this thread, you're skill level in these areas is rather underdeveloped. Don't be bitter; do something about it. "How to Win Friends and Influence People" is a very good read. Give it a go; you've got nothing to lose.

Sorry, Bex thought you might have had something to do with headache.But since your not passionate about much after reading this sermon I think you might have to read A losers guide to Russian! Because then you can influence the new owners when they bring in all their players because people like you looked the other way and allowed the club to get into this situation while it was an Australian owned entity and now it has been lost!!Oh great to hear the Bakrie group got 100% ownership and has commenced their academy to develop Indonesian players!Loved how they wrote, "we will not influence the managers in their choices at all our clubs"Thank god the managers dont have to do what their bosses want! Seriously wake up and take a bex!

Ahhh, so finally we get to the point of this thread....

What would you propose? The Mariners fold and no longer exist? Or we keep selling our homegrown players to pay those we still have on our books?

 

[adz]

Or option C: Get one of the many Australian billionaires to buy the club instead. Plenty of them going around with cash to throw around on football clubs!

No joke, I think this unfortunate person has not been diagnosed, or if he has, has stopped taking his medication.
Definitely needs help.

Okay Mario I'm willing to assist in your fight. Hopefully, you're leading by example. I've taken it upon myself to start a list of all the things you're doing to prevent this invasion by Russian players so that we may all follow your lead.

1. Hysterical posts on Mariners forum.
2. ?????

Please add to the list Mario so I may join the fight....

couldn't resist that one ;D

C'mon guys, give Mario a chance. We've only seen one side of the man and I'm sure he's out there fighting the important fight in many ways. I mean, this thing is so important there's no way he would be content with the sole tactic of posting his grievances to a bunch of people he doesn't know on a Mariners forum.

Is there?.........

 

[adz]

I'm sure he has a very sound plan drawn up in crayons on one of his walls...

Yeah, like Clive Palmer, mmmmm that was screwed up wasn't it.We had to take someone like Miron out of selling rugs to bring his mates in and buy a merc,who now we are winners.are you boys still at school or have they let you out?
