Mariners to take over CCF

[masmariner]

I've heard a pretty strong rumor that the CCM will be taking over the CCF.
Does anyone have more information on this one. ?

Was rumoured to have been part of the V1 business plan for CCM to buy a controlling stake in the Lightning but didnt happen for whatever reason.

The CC needs a club in the NSWPL to provide an off season pathway for the Yoof and "fringe" players. SL is not a high enough standard.

 

[From the dug out]

I concur

cannot see how it would be constitutionally possible for a private entity to take over a local football association

Your right Mick, in this case though it would be the articles of association of the CCF that would need to be followed and when have they been followed anyway ?.
Does anybody know if Central Coast United and prior to that the Lakers were shut down in  accordance with the law.

Maybe it could be ccm taking over Lightning, which are also a private entity??

An entity that is wholly owned by CCF though so would have to be approved by their (shareholders) member clubs. I'm not sure if Lightning is setup coreectly though anyway as it looks like a private company setup (same as a normal business).

Iv been hearing this for months, even years

And we are still stuck with CCF

Do an FC United, form a side, join the bottom tier and play out of Budgie.

Work their way up to NSWPL and you can bet your life that will drag CCF kicking and screaming to the table at some point.

CCF has shareholders? i dont know much about all that share stuff, but doesnt CCF have .5m debt? what good would it be to own shares of such an entity - even when the stockmarket is good. ??

it would be if mariners did take over... at least lightning - then they can make the pitch HALF decent. they claim it is a priveledge for young players to play there for their grand finals, but in all honesty, the only thing that makes it better than frost reserve is the margin and razzle stands.

CCF debt makes things bad as Pluim is probably worthless (as real estate) due to it being flood affected it's a shame lots of money has been spent on lights fields etc etc when surely there would be a lot better location for what should be "the centre of football excellence" on the coast.

Most council maintaned fields are a lot better than Pluim otherwise council would close them. !!!!.
