Singo to help get Beckham to Bluetongue

[SFL]

Are we after him for the ACL period at all? Would it be allowed on a "guest" contract?
One would think this would be the best period to have him with massive opportunities in Asia.

I'd rather hear that all players' and staff super and taxes were up to date, we have an ongoing stream of working capital and *then* hear that we're looking to splurge.

Doesn't sound like an either/or choice... sounds like there are people willing to pump money in to bring Beckham/ADP to the coast, or nothing...??

 

[nikko]

this is one big joke? Lets sign 2 players who are looking for a retirement job

 

[FFC Mariner]

Agree with above completely.

Lets move on from almost insolvent and re sign some major players who are coming off contract instead of offering a 50% wage reduction

Trolling for headlines is only amusing once

How about investing money into referees?
Possibly do more for the game

Pretty sure the likes of Breeze, Shields and Gillete have received a massive amount of funding.....but most of in in brown paper bags!!

Heh, Becks looking unlikely http://au.fourfourtwo.com/news/259544,end-it-like-beckham---a-league-dream-over.aspx

I was always relaxed about it and am really not disappointed...this has all the hallmarks of potentially being our greatest season to date and Becks would have been a diversion, a cool and commercially useful one, but a diversion none-the-less.

Cool if we got him, just as cool if not

Seems crazy, but personally I like this kind of crazy, and I applaud the pluck and initiative. It would cost big time, but the promotional and sponsorship opportunities it could bring would be massive also. I'm sure the costs would be majorly offset and that decisions like this would not be being made lightly and only if viable.

As to Beck's in Oz being all over... All he said was, "we'll see". For mine I hope after what happened to the England bid the idea of taking oil money makes him retch.

Disruption... it's true. But I'm sure gaining a world class player would be considerably less disruption than losing your key striker or DM. I think the Mariners team would enjoy the extra support and bigger crowds ADP, Beck's or certainly both would help bring. But more importantly I think we actually have the kind of dressing room, captain and coach that could handle something like this with a minimum fuss and quite successfully I think.

They are a great team. Beck's and ADP are consummate pros and both good guys. Don't see why it couldn't work. Except that it seems like total insanity to me to believe that it could actually happen. But here's to total insanity I say.

Side note: Imagine what this would do to the doco sales?? Hope the Mariners have profit share. And I bet the director must have splinters in his knees from praying that Beckham comes off.

im sorry but becks is an overpaid has been, whos main 'game' now
is what other cosmetic product can he put his name to,
and even though singo is footing a majority of the bill, it does not fit with the clubs trajectory
nor will it ever.

if ever we should splash on a star, make it Messi or RvP, Ozil. . . . sneijder is up for contract
heskey ADP, and especially ONO have been great for the season where the a league grew up,
Beckham is a backward step

Ah but then it's not about getting a quality marquee, and it never was. CCM have never wanted one and don't need one for results. This is purely about PR - what it can do for the club and the coast. The football side of things is taking care of itself and even though Beckham may not be the player you want he also is unlikely to hurt results either.

. he would look good sitting on our bench

Put one of these on the bench.

Cheap!
