The Reign of Mike Mulvey

[Wombat]

Great appointment.

The mood was grim at the beginning but once they announced Mike Mulvey and then brought him out everyone cheered up a fair bit.

Mulvey was very impressive.

 

[Insertnamehere]

Decent enough appointment. But we'll be back here in 2 years time because we have an owner that doesn't have the first clue how to run a football club.

So... yay?

Summary of MC qanda?

 

[Ozhammer]

Spoke to Mr Mulvey after the forum and liked what he had to say. He is looking to embrace the club long term and build something meaningful. He had better offers overseas but his heart is in Australian football, so he gets my tick.

Arhhhh f**k... Now I don't know what to think... I promised myself not to get optimistic again so easily, and here I am, all hopeful like a starry-eyed teenager again...
I guess MC can take my cash for one more season, but if it's anything like the dross we've seen for the last four years, it's the last time...

We all know that it’ll be a long slog back to the glory days and that MC’s continued policy of underspending will make the journey a difficult one but let’s just be grateful that the Oklic days are behind us and try to be optimistic about the future.

If the HAL does become independently administered and the club grant gets increased to a realistic level, surely MC can have no more excuses not to spend the cap in the future? I for one don’t have an issue with being an underdog club, provided the team are giving it their all and are genuinely in it with us fans.

I spoke to Lord Golec tonight and he is keen to re-sign, so that is hopefully the first of what will be many positives to come.

It's called being a supporter of a football club.

So was Moss, Walmsley and Okon on Day #1, just saying.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Decision to not renew was vindicated tonight. Away games only

 

[Wombat]

Moss was NEVER impressive.
Tony......................everyone was just pleased to see the back of Moss..............that and the fact that after he conducted a worldwide search he found he was the best candidate was pretty exciting. Then his debut game he played 2, 4, 4 and we won with the most cavalier Football ever seen in OZ.
The following week it turned to shit and stayed that way.
Okon................everyone was just pleased to see the back of Tony.

Too early to say that Fulham, surely.

I'm the same.
Definately renewing and excited to have Mulvey on board but Pikey does need to spend some money or it could be my last season.

 

[style_cafe]

He's a good coach but whats the poor bastard supposed to do when Pikey will only spend the cap floor?
I feel for the guy TBH

Shaun was saying afterwards that we spent well above the floor but not up to the cap.

 

[Ancient Mariner]

I was very impressed talking to Mike M. and others after the meeting. He was quite prepared to talk on with we idiots and answer all our questions, he did not bolt immediately after the formal meeting, same with Shaun.

He is happy to try and build the CCM of old, ie a small club punching above its weight. He wants players who will give their all, and who will have left nothing on the pitch. Players who fans will be happy with even after a loss.

He is going in with his eyes open and is prepared to take on the challenge.

He will live in the community.

No decision yet on an assistant.

He will have first and last say in recruitment but will not be the sole person.

He is happy to have only ten players on contract (13 spaces) and time to recruit.

He will not watch training this week but will attend and introduce himself to the players and let them know he will be watching on Saturday.

Shaun also pointed out that we spent well over the salary floor this year.

Very impressed with the informal chat afterwards.

 

[Big Al]

Is moving to the coast immediately. Good start

Yeah, I know - Nick Hornby wrote a whole book on the subject, something about the duality of loving and hating someone at the same time... I just don't particularly wanna live it

 

[priorpeter]

Why bother at all?

Why even bother wasting your time on this forum?

Why not do us all a favour and just disappear.

Righto champ.

 

[priorpeter]

Didn’t know who Tom Hiariej is. #MulveyOut

Nah, he can stay. For now.

Shouldn’t have used his full name. Had you said god he would of known

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Welcome to last week - slow internet in Victoria is it?

Wtf? We all knew it was talked about but nothing was confirmed. Why the need to belittle?

 

[Scotty]

It's great to be talking positively, we must do that. Let's learn from our mistakes, move on and get behind our club.
We've seen the turn around of other clubs in our situation, it can certainly happen. Let's assume it does and MM gets results on the paddock, it's over to the club to get the fans back into the stadium.

Bring on 2018/2019!
