Usain Bolt!

[Ozhammer]

Strange e-mail from the club confirming Bolt’s arrival time but not promoting a welcome event?

Puma has seemingly been contacting Sydney-based junior clubs advertising a welcome event with giveaways but CCM doesn’t seem to be involved at all, which seems is a bit odd tbh.

. first test to see who can/will actually capitalise on Bolt-mania:

Bolt and his existing sponsors 1 - 0 Mariners and their long term gain​

. too harsh, too soon?

Seems fair. Not sure why everyone wouldn't be working together though.

Puma does not have any vested interest in the Mariners getting exposure, they will want to give away Puma stuff, not umbro or Masterfoods unfortunately, therefore I can sort of see why they are distancing themselves from the Mariners... Even tho it sucks.

Is anyone planning to go down to welcome him to the country? Bloody early start mind.

Yeah I saw that yesterday, CCM wasn’t aware of it until I spoke to them this afternoon.

If Puma sponsored the Mariners there'd be no problem

Puma makes Kappa gear look decent.

Let them try and get some leverage out of him coming here.....as long as they don't try and do the press conference in Minto.....the land of Puma, Slazenger and all things nice.

I’d be deeply disturbed to be praised by Ned,,

Yeah much too soon.

I think Shaun’s got this.

Little short term gains are not important - fro the podcast sounds like he’s keeping his eye firmly fixed on the bigger prizes it seemed to me.

Wasting their time then......but good to have some North Korean style flag wavers welcome him here.

The club hopes to turn him into A-League material in just three months, with a view to offering the Jamaican a full-time contract in time for the start of the 2018/19 season in late-October.

To that end, the Mariners have poured additional coaching and high-performance resources into the project, which both parties insist is not a stunt.

"I've said all along this is for real and I'm here to show what I can do," said Bolt upon landing, where he was greeted by a large media pack and a group of diehard fans.

Hope our squad gets access to the extra high performance coaching, not just bolt. God/Allah/Buddha knows we need it. ( Just covering the deity bases)
