National Youth League Fixtures and Mariners youth team discussion

[Ozhammer]

There has to be more to this story than him just taking an opportunity with the national set up surely? If Rich was blowing in his ear about being Monty’s successor, why would he not bide his time with us and show his ability as head coach of our youth?

I hope this warns Rich off bringing him back if/when Monty moves on, if that’s the extent of his loyalty……

Tarek Elrich is coaching the 20s. Overheard him refer to one of his players as "whats-his-name" the other week so he is obviously right into the role

That’s…not great

Tbh I would look at it more like he’s been given a bit of a nudge and landed in a jobs for the boys situation. I have zero inside knowledge but if you compare the roles you would think the long term project with us was a solid move for him so to leave to that kind of role doesn’t make much sense unless he’s been told he isn’t up to scratch.

Yep jobs for the boys isn’t always the best policy

I was sceptical of Wilkshire coming in but this is a farce, we upended the best youth production line in Asia for this bloke and he ditches us within a year.

I think we have dodged a bullet to be fair. Shame we let our coaches go. Hope we can get in someone with some nous.

My thoughts also. Sense of relief at the timing, my gut says he wasn't going to do well. Just such a shame we let such quality go in Cristo et al.

Would be thrilled if we could lure Ben Can back

 

[shipwreck]

Makes the f**k up at the end of last years youth season all the more bad.

First strike for the Peil era imo

Ben Cahn or Hutch should be the target, especially if whoever is there is being groomed to takeover from Monty eventually.

Doubt Cahn would come back though, getting big financial backing from the Melbourne Knights at the moment and they will no doubt be prime candidates for the NSD.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Pretty shit timing from Luke to leave.
next appointment has to be 110% committed and obviously solid youth development history.
wasn’t he also the head of the whole youth sector for us?

No. He needed to go before he did more damage

Agree. Massive error by Dick but he has moved to fix it

 

[BaysideMariner]

Patrick Z??

 

[FFC Mariner]

Patrick Z??

f**k no. Last time was a disaster

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

f**k no. Last time was a disaster

Pardon my ignorance, but what happend last time?

 

[FFC Mariner]

Pardon my ignorance, but what happend last time?

Allegedly he rarely returned for training. Got sacked then tried to sue the club

 

[marinermick]

Pardon my ignorance, but what happend last time?

Total flop in every role he has had so far. Left Gumpy to do all the NYL training to go and Fox commentary.

 

[Big Al]

Worst part all coaches are now tied up
Elsewhere

Exactly, and all the rest will be being lined up for the NSD.

Not sure he chose to go

 

[Rising Sun]

100

Not sure he chose to go

I think you can put the mortgage on him having had no say in the matter.

The job he is going to is as assistant to the assistant for one tournament only, next month.

Unless the FA have offered him a good gig after this tournament (and bearing in mind all the key head coach and assistant coaching roles at all NT age levels are recent appointments) then why would he give up his gig at the mariners for a couple of weeks putting the cones out for Trevor Morgan
