Too true Shelleybeach, but if you have seen the way Peter Turnbull genuinely has a passion for football, rather than just some side investment to his main business, you'll realise that he wants to stick around.
I've seen him jumping around like some loon with the rest of us when Saso has finally snagged a goal in a tense Wellington match, and you can't fake that sort of outburst.
Also I saw an article on Friday in the Telegraph- CC edition(?), that had Turnbull saying he wanted to get a football complex up and running, and it's not a small plan either. 10 Football fields, admin. complex etc. Wyong Council Councillor Pavier, I think, was quoted saying the idea was a good one. So it seems he wants to spend his money in this region.

MMMM now i am a little worried as i heard a rumor about Aloisi buying property on the gold coast. I Thought this rumor was crap because surely he would not leave us for the snore. But to start up a new and upcoming HAL Club. Will have to wait and see.

Shelleybeach, if you go have a look at Peter Turnbull CV on football you will see as Pete has stated above he has real passion for football.
I think he is the biggest asset Sydney lost, what Peter understands and it fits perfectly with the Mariner's model is you need to build a club from the bottom up, and to do that you must work with the associations and local clubs. Cement that in place and the club will be there forever. Also the idea of creating "AUSTRALIA'S CENTER OF FOOTBALL EXCELLENCE" that is what Peter wants.
As a club we need this, as we have the smallest population and not the largest ground, so as the A-league expands we will need to be competitive and our juniors will help us. Further we like Victory have a plan to move forward, look at the Flying Circus there senior management still have no idea how to connect with the football family.
IMO Shelleybeach, Turnbull is a tremendous addition to our club, and will add value. He has the passion we all share and as I suggested go look at his CV and then post again with your throughts.

Canberra, as mentioned been tried and failed in the NSL, also lost a Basketball team from the national comp so a question remains over sponsorship viability for sports that aren't considered
main stream.
Wollongong, Possibility IMHO and if done correctly being community focused can achieve what the Mariners have done for the CC.
Gold Coast, Rapidly growing region, rugby league already established (after several failed attempts), prehaps a chance but could also go the way of the previous gold coast league sides, and NBL side.
N.Qld, Fanatical support from the locals but is there enough of the corporate $$$$ to go around.

It would be extremely unwise to name themselves the Wolves. The Illawarra is a hotbed of football but with 120 years of history there are longstanding links with your local club. The Wolves were a new entity in the NSL but did just about everything to piss off broader supporters in the Illawarra, and though a small band of Wolves supporters would object a brand new club linking to the community like the Mariners would be better.Jimmydinho said:
