#ThanksHutch

[Big Al]

Not really worried where he works after. Coaching is a different world.

What's interesting is maybe its him not so keen to hook up with CCM and that's why there is no agreement.

The club would be killed by fans if they thought they didn't do right by hutch but what if hutch don't want to be here?

 

[Atomic]

No I just don't want him working for that c**t arnie

So… Arnie, the guy that delivered us a Premier's plate and a Championship, is a c**t... and you want to retire Hutch's number before we know what he's doing next. Do you see the flaw in your logic?

Oops, sorry… "Logic" - Valid reasoning by which a conclusion is properly drawn.

 

[Wombat]

Wombat will probebley be happy

I love Hutcho. Brilliant man ......but yes I'm happy from a playing perspective.

 

[Wombat]

I'd like to see something grander than a pullover. Perhaps we can have a whip around, like we did for the mega, to raise some funds so the YA can splash out on something truly special.

Count me in. I have a soft spot for Hutcho. Legendary Mariner and a great bloke......bit of a Koala around Gosford but non the less a great team man and a very nice man.

 

[dibo]

Koala?

 

[Wombat]

Protected species.

 

[dibo]

Oh f**k off. I would've thought better of you than that, but thanks for the clear up.

 

[Wombat]

Bit rude. I'll accept your apology in the morning.

 

[dibo]

You're not getting one, and it's pretty conceited to imagine you deserve one.

It's worth noting I'm posting sober. I'll think the same in the morning, and post the same in the morning as now.

Will be a special day for a very special Mariner. It's hard to say what this club would have been without Hutch. The only thing for certain, is it would have been less.

Never forget the day when I stopped with my boy as the servo at Erina after a game and Hutch walked in... It was the year we'd signed Aloisi. The hype was high. My boy was seven. He had Aloisi on the back. Hutch walked up to him, ruffled his hair and said, great jersey, but why don't you get a real mans name on there

A joke sure, but he knew even then Aloisi would cut and run I think. Next 3 years my boy very proudly wore that jersey... with the line we'd drawn for him through the "S" turning it into a $ sign.

Great leader of men. Might well prove to be a truly remarkable man manager one day. Hope he never ever leaves.

Thanks Hutch.

You ARE and always WILL BE the Mariners.

As to Hutcho....he has been a brilliant Mariner and was probably in my starting 11 for 5 of the 10 seasons. When he switches on (like the GF) he his brilliant.

I'm not going to be a typical Mariners suck arse as say he was the best ever....because that is a lie......but he has been a very decent player (at times excellent) but possibly the best ever clubman we have had.

 

[elevated position]

Well an opportunity just might be around the corner for Hutcho. like a couple of seasons at Everton going through their system

 

[dibo]

That's actually a pretty super idea.

Hutch has done something that not all players can do - played to the very best of his ability. Many more talented players have failed because they don't have the application.

I contacted the YA via their Facebook page a week ago. They told me that they already had something special planned for the last match at CCS to celebrate 10 years. I think they're re-tweeking it to honour Hutch's contribution.

I made the offer to take up a collection from ccmfans.net forumites to help out with expenses, but was advised to hold off for the moment. I'm assuming that if extra funds are required, they'll drop me, or someone else, a line.

 

[dibo]

I'm sure @priorpeter or someone else will be monitoring this discussion.

If the day could be spent *not* singing stuff like "let's pretend we've scored a goal" and ragging on the team, that'd be pretty ace.

"John Hutchinson is set to be honoured with a raft of testimonial events"

 

[dibo]

A Friday lunch? Ugh.

A golf day is great, but I'd have to train hard to get up to "useless hacker" level. I'm still at "happy if the ball goes the broad direction I'm aiming for" stage.

 

[sydmariner]

I'm worse

 

[nebakke]

I'm worse

Pfftt... I'm lucky if I get my racket out of the bag before the other players have scored the first touch down!
