No way Hutcho could be ready for manager yet. Would be a poor decision and likely spell the end of his career before it even began. Really don't think the club or Hutch are that stupid.
ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

It only takes a few minutes, and joining will let you post your thoughts and opinions on all things Mariners, Football, and whatever else pops into your mind. If posting is not your thing, you can interact in other ways, including voting on polls, and unlock options only available to community members.
ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.
I'm not in the TW out camp yet. I honestly don't have the evidence to make a clear enough judgment. We lost several games which knocked our form early in the season due to terrible, incorrect refereeing and/or just awful luck; we have an extremely thin, inexperienced squad and needed to cull some significant experience, and then have missed key players repeatedly to injury or suspension which is a big problem with no depth to back them up. Results in these circumstances are predictable. Could we find a better, more experienced coach? I'm sure we could. Could we find one willing to take on this team during these 'club ensuring it's financial survival years', and for the right price? I'm sure we couldn't.
Let's recruit an experienced spine in the off season as TW has said is the priority, see the product of the great youth we have starting a new season with their hard earned experience and if it's still flapping after 5-6 games talk about a change.

He's still a c**t though.^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If they do it will set him up for failure I hope he has enough common sense to say I am not ready yet.
Muscat was offered the MV position 3 times and accepted it the fourth time ...
The coach is not the only critical factor. How many squads have been 25% or so cheaper than *any* other squad in the comp? How many squads have been so inexperienced?
Why don't we magic some more money out of the air?We make the choice to spend less than other clubs. The same salary cap is available to us as everyone else.
as I choose not to drive the Ferrari 458 to work each day and make a policy to drive the Ford Focus.
It's $2.55m of guaranteed income. It goes into consolidated revenue, but we only have to spend the floor.
In the end, if we're to save $200k by not spending $200k then that's a $200k smaller loss that the club makes (i.e. $200k less out of MC's pocket).
That's a financial decision, based on how much money we have. It's not like he's profiteering, he's minimising losses.
What part of "if we don't have the money, we can't choose to spend it" do you not get?So if we spend the floor there is an additional $382,500 going to the club that isn't being spent on players. Hence yes we choose to spend less on players.
So if we're not competitive on this basis then it is via club policy no matter for what reason.
