    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!

    If you want to get rid of this message, simply click on Join Now or head over to https://www.ccmfans.net/community/register/ to join 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.

Mariners success is based on a combination of a strong youth pipeline, a policy of recruiting young, hungry visa players with a top notch scouting network to deliver them, consistently making quality appointments in the football department, and club/team culture/standards of the highest order.

If the Jets think it is just about giving youngsters a chance then they are heading in the direction but the answer to the headline question is "no"

Question is, in a post Ken world with a ruthless owner like RP will our much mooted model work? We're still running on that legacy atm and the way the academy has been run under RP is kinda questionable.

I would say RP has been on a pretty steep learning curve and has taken a few knocks along the way. The Academy has clearly implemented a new strategy which it remains to be seen if it will pay longer term dividends. To be fair post Ken there are some pretty experienced heads still in the system with Matt Simon, Josh Rose and Andy Bernal.

Yep for sure. This season in NPL remains to be seen whether has been of value to the young guys.

As time goes on I'm beginning to realize I had underestimated Simmo's off field capabilities...a lot.
