Turbulence (then calm sailing, then turbulence) thread.

Serious question, which players are in the squad that played with the Mariners in the first quarter of 2013??? Rose?? Maybe Monty?? They make it sound like the entire squad has an issue, and I would think that if some of our more senior players had super issues they would either be solved quickly or they would be somewhere else.

Don't the NYL players get super as well?
Not to cast aspersions because o couldn't blame them if it's true - but couldn't they be the involved parties too?

Any employee who gets more than $450pm (I think) gets SG

plus they have to be over the age of 18 unless it is a FT or PT where they are not at school. So it would only be the FT squad that would get super in this case.

Just heard from Seb Hassett that the FFA is going to take back the Newcastle Jets licence for not payment of superannuation fees due to players.

See Seb now that is how you write a scoop.

Not sure if any of you were listening to the sports show on Coast FM, but a chap (Luke I think) was talking quite authoritatively about the issues the club is facing. He said that only four 'players were affected by this, and it dates back to the time of the change of ownership. I heard him mention Monty, Cac and Fitz, and presumably the other is Rosey snr. The inference is that the club is trying to work out exactly what is owed to these, but is up to date with all other players' Super payments.

The other thing he mentioned was that the club is owed a whopping (my description) 1.5 mill from Maty Ryan being on-sold. Not sure how many businesses of the size of the Mariners could cope with this...

Let me state that this is in no way a justification for non payment of Super, but it does at least give hope for the short term financial stability of the club.

He also mentioned the name of the player we would bring in when Cas goes (missed the name, but apparently ex-Victory?).

So the equivalent of moving 15 home games! Hopefully they work out a way to get that one paid...

The talks is Francesco Stella who trialled with us in pre-season. He was signed by Ange but released by Victory by Muscat. http://www.fourfourtwo.com/au/news/melbourne-victory-release-francesco-stella#:WyTpvuTJU01zYA

This is a "windfall" payment and it probably would not have been factored in to financial budgets etc. for the Mariners FC. If and when it is received, well and good, as long as it doesn't disappear into the COE financial sinking fund and when received it is used for the benefit of the Football Club.

Or a new Bentley for MC.

Straight into his back pocket you would imagine

Well he is the one that borrowed the money to build the COE

Poor crowd today. We're some at the carols at Mingara I think or just to hot and stayed at the beach or in the pool.

Need a big crowd NYE. Will be interesting to see how that goes. Will people have missed it after last year and be keen to go or will they have ditched that tradition already and not bother or will being last and loosing all the time just mean they couldn't be bothered.

Might to be to many Mike podcasts with these crowd figures

The heat probably had a great deal to do with it. I usually come up early and watch the W-League game but gave that a miss (full credit to the women for playing in that heat), and if my seat was in the eastern stand rather than the western stand I probably would have watched the main game at home as well.

I suspect that some families may have also gone away on holidays which would also put a slight dent in the figures.

Govt put a shit load as well.......very nice return for MC at then end of it.

At the beginning. I heard that he borrowed $20 mill to kick start this current stage. Even at 5% that is a $ 1mill interest bill each year.

 

[Wombat]

pool already giving him a return.
Offices open in 3 months.

He will be do very nicely out of the COE.
