Turbulence (then calm sailing, then turbulence) thread.

What annoys me about stories of playing games in Melbourne is that it would quite obiously destroy the club if it were to happen but the lazy hack doesn't seem to understand that. The Mariners get enoug

 

[Roy Law]

Oops!
Was going to say the Mariners get enough ctiticism about the size of the crowds at Bluetongue - if the supposed four games were to be played in Melbourne there would be no-one turning up to Bluetongue for the other 'home' games

BTW Mr Celery
Wish I had the time and brain power to be that cute!

So very happy things have been sorted out, at least for the time being. The idea of having to get my summer sport fix from cricket while the country is being represented by Tony Abbott is almost too much for this little black duck to handle.

Wow, TA has been called up to the Australian Cricket Team?

Ok so...

Perform wonders with the lowest funded "smallest" club in the league... Tick. Sell off best players mid season... Tick. Engendering end of season slump... Tick. Fail to pay players and staff, Tick. Club on edge of total collapse, Tick. Media gets stuck in, PFA goes nuts, unfounded and brutal rumours abound, crows circle, and the knives come out... Tick.

Rise from the ashes to new heights defying all odds and sticking it to the haters and doubters, TICK.

So...

Business as usual as a CCM supporter.

Let's go win the f**king toilet seat.

COYY

f**king gold!

5 mins work Roy. You've go to admit that our club can be a rich source of humour at times!

Fox Sports... I know... Not exactly the epitome of correct information, but I still sort of enjoyed this bit and hope that it is exact - nice and neutral too :

A report on a website erroneously claimed that the club would be bought by a Melbourne group with some games played there, but all parties shot the story down. Instead, Thursday evening a deal was struck for a fresh capital raising, funded by Charlesworth, though sources said last night that if the long-mooted investment from a Russian consortium was suddenly forthcoming he would be prepared to stand aside.

good plan.

I've always thought the mariners mascot should be an albatross. hought to be good luck to mariners unless you shoot it. there could have been lots of 'don't shoot the albatross' talk over this recent period

 

[adz]

Maybe we should have an albatross fly around before every home game.

Or maybe we already do... it just looks like a flying sauce bottle.

 

[nebakke]

Doubly appropriate if you've ever seen an albatross take-off int he first place... A bit like financial talks with Mariners management

Well, he already walks like he's wearing a box.....

 

[scoober]

Anyone got a wiki link, or a profile of Mike Charlesworth?
