Is it worth us throwing anything at him for a cameo? Simon that is - not Corica lol

A pair of elbow pads would render him ineffective.

I don't think its a bad idea to get Simon back if he's on a low wage and accepts a squad role. I think its great IF the club could get the likes of Simon, Bozanic and Wilko back to the coast. It would show Members and those who have an interest in the Mariners that were returning to our foundations. Of course keeping in mind some quality for the final third too is a must.

Returning to the foundations ??? ............. they are good thoughts ...... but actually bringing back players that WERE succesful then may be left behind in the current league, unless they came back in coaching or related areas. Can’t see those mentioned as being in that mindset yet and surely out of the $ that charlesworth would offer. Bozanic and Wilkinson’s positions are already well covered by players that would command a start in any team in the league and Simon’s goal return is not profficient enough to fill the striker gap it would only add to it.

Jus’ sayin’

I think Wilko will have one more season at Sydney then either go back to NPL or retire. He'd be 34 by the end of next season. Simon could possibly come back, but Bozanic is out of the equation l feel. He wouldn't be willing to accept lesser pay when he can play with City for a much bigger wage and play for a Socceroos spot. Unfortunately, we aren't an attractive destination for players.

I would beg to differ. The club is an excellent destination for players as it has always been. It is just that the owner of the franchise charlesworth is the worst owner of a franchise since clive palmer............ if that is possible........... and I use the lower case as a mark of disrespect for both.

Hang on, we're what now?

Update:
I asked around forum journalist style to see how the players felt about this claim. DDS told my wife’s cousins tennis partners friend that he wants to fight you,

 

[Offsider]

That’s understandable ........... love means nothing to a tennis player .

In my defence .............. I’m not sure I understood the question .......... and I’m not sure it is a rhetorical question that wouldn’t really apply had it not included “now” .......... which is the only real time as it doesn’t truely exhist being only a concept of man .......... similarly my answer if wrong or upsets anybody’s concept of a good club being part of the former post which I thought needed clarification ???? But whereas I am new I trust that I may be excused on the grounds of mental capacity due to my hearing being impaired because of the status of my head.

I agree with your disagreement.

Excellent !!! ........... I needed to decork another red anyway ............ cheers

Love the content and delivery of the speech but excellence comes at a cost - the best players, the best staff, the best resources, the best services all cost. How is this going to go with the owner imposing an unrealistic budget?

Collaboration and cunning.
Collaborate where it can save us coin such as Ourimbah uni, if they still do sport science there. And be super cunning with our purchasing, such as loan Aussie players from abroad if we can find them.

It is simple really ............. the age of mediocrity is not over .......... we haven’t even got there yet. We are still stuck in the age of greed and all indicators are that it will get worse before it gets better.

We are lucky that we have left over quality that okon has taken the fall for .............. so far there is only talk that hasn’t landed anything yet ???......... and visit from high profile visitor whose carefully chosen words of encouragement didn’t light any fires for me.

I would dearly love to hear that hoole has started pre season training with ten hours a day practicing spot kicks.

It's almost like it's the 4th of May and pre-season is still two months away?

Agree. The only answer it to work much harder and smarter than everyone else. Let's hope MM has the skill to achieve that.

Spot kicks? Are you talking about Penalties or free kicks? Or do you mean all dead balls situations such as corners....which were shit.

For the first time in forever we have a better than mediocre coach. Lets hope he is allowed to assemble a decent squad.
Lets hope our very mediocre Chairman can step up to A League standard.

Yes.

 

[Wombat]

Ok.
I like a Newbie with confidence.
Hoole has alot of potential but is a bit of a headless chook. With a decent coach in a proper team environment he could flourish.

You are not "Greedy Joilc" are you??
