    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!

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.

whats the logic behind these alledged gentlemans agreements?...I dont get the reasoning , AU didnt want him, we did so why does he miss a game, in this case two....I asked the rellies in Holland, they have never heard of such a thing

So releasing them doesn't kick you in the butt because they have something to prove against you and score the winner against you. Pretty common in the premier league.

Nothing worse than loosing to the guy you just let go so they usually wait out the season so they don't get burnt. Usually only happens on mid season transfers

if it was a loan deal ...[maybe] fair enough, but, CCM is paying Fabio, so I think the "agreement" shouldnt apply...it is a business after all, no other business makes a bloke go on holidays after they head hunted him so the opposition dont get offended

Its a sweetner in the deal...
To get it over the line.

Our mgt. did what they was needed to get a quality player...

Only Adelaide know whether they would have released him either way...

Technically that's true for any inter-club transfer in the A-league

Eg. Pedj Bojic

Do you thinj Pedj would have "agreed to"/requested a release if he didn't have the Sydney FC offer lined up?
