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.

A-League Transfers and Rumours

Hmmm, I would still be having a very close look at WSW’s books, as there’s no way the squad they have is fitting under the celery cap surely?

I would also question the appropriateness of such trading when one person has an ownership stake in both clubs. This sort of sh*t could only happen in the A League honestly.
Similar problems in the NBL. The actual owner of the league has a stake in a MV equivalent but also runs the league and has some small stakes in other clubs. It was necessary to keep the league alive but now is causing issues but his main club is one of the biggest.

Here at least Western and SFC are also part of it but it’s certainly interesting that WSW are picking what they want from Newy. Is Laurie still involved in Newy because he did try stopping this but looks like the new control are certainly taking orders from WSW and the other bosses who are paying their wages

Pretty sure Laurie is still there, just being very quiet.

Ugarkovic has some how moved to WSW before end of season, O'Doherty to the Scum.
It's good atm because we don't get to play WS, and we get the Scum twice.
It's bad because the AL manipulation by WS is pretty dog shit

Western Sydney Wanderers chairman Paul Lederer has flatly denied any suggestion he used his position as a part owner of the Newcastle Jets to influence the transfer of key midfielder Steven Ugarkovic on the eve of the A-League finals.

Ugarkovic had already committed to joining the Wanderers next season but will now join their late-season bid for a top-six spot after the Jets agreed to grant him an early release on Friday.

No collusion, just coincidence, like petrol prices. Can the ACCC be called in?

I’d expect Maclaren, Noone or Nabbout will make way. If it’s Nabbout we could do a lot worse.

Might also be worth seeing if Galloway is an option to move on to free up cap space. Likely to fall back in behind Atkinson when recovered,
