National Youth League Fixtures and Mariners youth team discussion

[Tevor]

I’m watching Olympic and Manly.

 

[Ozhammer]

So we play St George City next Saturday then.

 

[Kilsin]

I think it's the execution and temper tantrum when orders aren't followed that is concerning

I would be pissed if someone didn't follow my orders. Especially if I owned a football club and it was one of my youth coaches.

I'd lose confidence in them and question whether or not they would follow the next set of orders given to them. I would see them as a risk and to remove them is not unreasonable, especially when his contract was ending (or could have already ended for all we know - this act may have been his "middle finger" on his way out of the regular season before handing over to Wilkshire and heading to WSW, no one knows or is willing to say for sure).

He could have followed the orders and let the blame lie solely on the person who made the decision rather than take matters into his own hands and risk the consequences.

But again, I don't think this is as big of an issue as it's being made out to be.

Those in the Third Reich used the same argument

 

[Big Dog]

Lots of conjecture about. What I do know:
It was only a couple of months ago Christensen was informed he would be let go at the end of the season. Was awkward timing because until then he thought he would be hanging around and it was late to try and organise other options.
He wasn't involved in Carusso going to WSW.
The general consensus is the Premiership has been won so lets get the new Coach in to work with the squad.

From what I've seen Christensen is a quality person and not the type to be vindictive or cause trouble imo.

Why not order Monty to play him in the Aleague team? Would that be a problem then? When the owner is telling any coach who to play it’s a massive f**king problem! Doesn’t matter if it’s first grade or under 14s, that shit isn’t on

An owner can do what he likes, it is his club. It may not be in the best interests of the club, nor in his own financial interests, and it may even lead to a club losing every game. No matter how ill advised or stupid, it is his right.
This behaviour is common in some formula 1 racing teams.
It is a concept that some here seem to have difficulty accepting.

Having made that point and knowing nothing of what went on over this Academy coach discussion, I suspect that what we are seeing, is much speculation turning a mole hill into a mountain.

Bloody off season.

It isnt speculation - you do need to tread gently in these things but its all laid out in earlier posts. No one is denying the right to act as he wants - just how unprofessional and dangerous it is

Huge difference between be able to do what you want and whether you should do what you want.

There are many more stakeholders in the Mariners than just the owner.

Piss those stakeholders off and you will be on your own.

Comparing this to Nazis is a bit extreme, don't you think?

Yeah, it would be, but did he order Monty to do that?

No point in playing the "what if!?" game...let's just stick to what happened and what we know, that's all we have to go on.

I wonder what`s happened to Anton?

Nope

 

[marinermick]

I wonder what`s happened to Anton?

Didn’t he have an investment stake in the Mariners?

 

[samster]

Anyone know date and time for the final next weekend?

 

[pjennings]

I wonder what`s happened to Anton?

The way the deal was explained was Mike will be the property guy. Richard will fund the football club and Anton will support the academy.

I think it was said that there is actually a separate business entity that either owned or at least had a major stake in CCMA, and that Anton was the owner or majority shareholder in this entity?

 

[FFC Mariner]

I wonder if CCMA (or its owners) have a sell on from any players who end up signing for CCM??

Million dollar question.
