It's up to you how you participate in the community!

Also,
So FCUKING glad we sacked Walmsley over a month ago !

Imagine IF we hadnt have ??? :innocent:
& waited till Rnd 5 or 6. :doh:

Okon could possibly be coaching the Scum, earning God knows what $$$'s money bag's Martin Lee offered him.

The appointment of Paolo and NOW THIS, paves the way for even more optimism for our season ahead.

And even more joy from 'Death Riding The Scum' :tv:

To go along with the possible takeover of Breakers Stadium, I hear Lee Sterrey, John Kosmina, Bruce Stowell and Willie Gallagher are all contenders for the post.

Found something vaguely coherent on the scum forum that provides some background:

From what I have heard from my sources at the club, and from talking with others with knowledge this is what occurred on the china trip leading up to todays decision, whether this is true Im not sure, this is what I have been told from my sources. McKinna had no control over this decision, wouldnt be surprised to see him walk in the coming days.

- Scott was not present for the start of the china trip, only arrived an hour prior to the first match to meet with the group
- Luciano was not happy that everything was dumped on him regarding preparation for this match
- Luciano throughout the trip had bad mouthed Scott behind his back to other staff members, (perhaps one of the staff went back to Scott with this info?)
- Second game I am to believe there was a mishap regarding the team sheet, hence why at one stage just after half time we were down to 10 and the asian team scored, I remember reading on Lawrie's twitter or instagram about a player being sent off, with no red card shown. (From previous experience filling out the team sheet is something an assistant or team manager does)
- Luciano is told after this match that he is no longer required on the trip, subsequently he returns back to australia.

Thats all I know from what I been told, now the rest is just pure speculation from me as to what occurred afterwards.

- Trani returns back to Australia, and goes to higher ups (Ledman Group??? Board?) with his side of the story regarding what happened, Scott doesnt seem like the sort of person to hold back so he probably tore Trani a new one for not checking team sheet properly (imagine if that had occurred in an A League match)
- Trani not happy he got mugged of by someone younger than him and someone he considers to have less experience
- Whether or not Trani told the whole truth or added something extra to make Scott look bad remains to be known
- Trani is close mates with new Chinese assistant coach, where as Scott wasnt. This Chinese coach obvs has very good connections with Ledman Group guessing Trani used this to his advantage.
- perhaps the china man wasnt happy with the way Scott treated him, only adding fuel to the fire

- Not sure whether Scott was given a chance to explain his side of the story, i feel the ultimatum thing might be correct or ledman have just backed Trani over Scott.

Im sure stuff regarding the treatment of Cooper, Brennan and Pavicevic , along with the reluctancy to give Ma Lei Lei more minutes also contributed to Scotts dismissal.

From putting all the pieces together seems Trani has knifed Scott in the back because he was sent home, now he actually might end up with a head coaching role, something which he has never had before in the A-league, maybe this why he has joined the jets, cause he knew this was the quickest route to him getting a head gig.

Also from SFC forum
The new owner enforced that we recruit a Chinese player as our 5th Visa where Miller had lined up a european attacker. Miller had been quite guarded about it when talking to the press but I had heard he was none too pleased. The Chinese player joined the squad for the 3 game tour, but Miller gave him 10-20mins at the end of each game and left him behind in China.

Maybe Laurie has a bit of Mariner in him still! By introducing and brokering the Leadman deal, he seems to have done a good job of creating an environment to throw that team into further disarray!

Yeah sounds like between this and your other post Rowdy you've nailed it.

Anyway, the important thing here is to keep focused on what really matters... NCJ basket case = unhappy Jest fans = happy CCM ones. This season really is looking up.

Lawrie must be walking around the office like "no, it's fine, the building isn't on fire or anything serious, it's just a couple of minor hiccups"

Well... I mean... it's getting to a point where there's noone else left isn't it? At the very least none who requires an announcement.

... But surely they wouldn't be THAT f**king stupid! ?

Yes. yes it is.

I notice as much as we are wallowing in their sweet salty tears, no one is seeing this as a cue to start screaming... disgrace, embarrassment please punt from league etc... Classy. And nor anywhere else... :tinfoilhat: People just LOVE to hate the Mariners.
