I know its easy to comment from my arm chair, but I really believe CCM need to sign Sainsbury, Anderson and Duke up for another 2 or 3 years now! Otherwise CCM will be having the same problem as this year next year with those guys.
I would like to see Weemac and Bozanic kept as a priority, these guys need to be our core group once Hutcho, kwasie and McBreen leave.

But players come and go, I can't see anybody coming in that will be able to replace Arnie. He is the reason we have been top of the league in the last few years and we need to keep him above any Rogics, Ibinis and Ryans.
Big fat 3 year contract (1 million per season) should be already out with Arnie now, with a stipulation that he can leave if its for a coaching gig in one of the top 4 leagues in Europe.
Yes I know CCM don't have any money but there must be someone who could sponsor this deal.

End of season 9

Anderson
Sainsbury (we must sign him up for another 2 years starting now)
Bojic
Ibini-Isei
Duke

End of season 10

Rose
Montgomery
Fitzgerald

Arnie doesn't strike me as the sort of guy who focuses on the money. Yes it has to be fair compensation but not beyond the capabilities of the Mariners. This young player sell off seems to be causing him some stress. I guess without adequate consultation with him. If he leaves it will be as a result of meddling with his season strategy. Just an opinion!

There aren't many coach options that fit our culture.

There weren't that many people that thought Arnie was a good fit for the Mariners when his appointment was first announced. In fact, there must be some people out there that must be down right embarrassed by what they had to say when he was appointed.

Anyway, people surprise you, so don't lose hope that we won't find an adequate replacement for Arnie when the time comes. I suspect that the club is bigger than the vast majority of egos out there and the new guy will realise that pretty quick smart.

They know who they are.

Dutchy should be doing his licences as soon as possible.
He would be an ideal replacement if & when Arnies pulls up stumps.

Who told you, or are you guessing.

I wouldn't mind Mossy taking over from Arnie. I think he's done his apprenticeship and deserves a shot at the big-time. It would be a good succession plan to have Dutchy do his time as Mossy's assistant... with the view of taking over when Moss is tempted away in the future. Hopefully by that time, there will be another faithful ex-player that will step up to become Dutchy's assistant.

And so the cycle of life continues.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Dutchy is doing his licenses, Arnie confirmed that a few weeks ago

Build a culture, build a dynasty. Build a big f**king trophy cabinet too.

I don't think the FFA would like the trophy cabinet bit!!!

Keeping on the off-topic coaching bent - from

http://au.fourfourtwo.com/forums/default.aspx?g=posts&t=79324


Phil Moss gave some interesting insights in a question and answer session yesterday.

He said that Graham Arnold learnt a massive amount from Hiddink, in terms of tactics and player management. He also said that Arnie learnt a lot under Verbeek, but more in tactical terms, thorough preparation and game knowledge, than player management.

Moss also said that Mariners' training sessions were open to all coaches, apart from opposition A League teams. They think that if they disseminate training sound ground practice to local constituent coaches, they will be the long term beneficiaries by having more local youth teams coached well. They are also keen to have as many local Gosford developed players as possible in the Mariners' team.

Moss also viewed his current position as being an assistant to Arnold as ideal , because he was learning so much. Ultimately, he would like to be a head coach of an A League team.

He also stressed the importance of knowing people in the game as being integral to getting into the Mariners set up. At any given time a coach could be out of work.

This last point reinforced how important it is to have a trade , skill or profession to back up a professional coaching career.

Some younger, ambitious local coaches wanted to know how they could enter the professional set up. He answered by praising the good work that grass roots and amateur coaches do. Without them, he contended, there would be no elite.

Really can't imagine he wasn't consulted. If I know Rogic and Ryan are off contract I reckon he knew too? As for Bernie, I would have thought Arnie has been around long enough to know that offers will come in for any player - and hasn't Arnie said he wants his young stars to go on and become millionaires? I expect he is more upset by the whole concept of the January transfer window than with anything to do with consultation within the club

 

[morrijo]

thanks all


so when are we going to start resigning players other than Fitzgerald from Roar
