What is Bruno best goal? For me my favourite goal of his is against Victory, the rabona to Caceras and then the chip over Vukovic His best goal I think was against WSW in that game we lost 4-3, outside the box lob with curl into top corner His overhead V Perth right infront of my eyes. Blew my mind. Most memorable was about 4th minute V Heidelberg in FFA Cup. My first ever live City game. Once again, right infront of my eyes. Here is someone to watch I thought. His last goal was such a good one because it had been so long between goals. It got me so excited for another season of magnificence - what could have been hey... I have seen every live goal at home since he begun. That feeling of walking to the game knowing you could witness the spectacular is what I will miss so much.

We've been jibbed. But based on what i know and the other bits and pieces, he made his own bed. Did the club handle it poorly? Abso-fucking-lutely, but he's still a long way from innocent in the whole saga. Sad because we needed a hero, and we ended up with nothing. It might be a shade unpopular but it's a realistic opinion. Players, managers, coaches, staff...all come and go from football clubs all the time, some as heroes, others acrimoniously. Everyone knows there are always at least two parties involved in any difference of opinion. So it would be very unusual if the fault lay entirely with only one party. I think what's counting against the club here is: - several other popular senior players had already left the club under the Joyce regime; - many fans were already disappointed with the team's performance so far this season; - Bruno's undoubted popularity with the fans; - the club did not have its act together on what to say if questioned about Bruno's suspension, and still doesn't; - by remaining silent the club appears to be stubbornly hiding something. Handled correctly it would have still been a sad farewell. As it is, it is a massive PR failure and has provoked a good deal of anger amongst the fans. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 When Cahill left I had the unpopular opinion that it showed the club couldn’t handle conflict. That has been proven in spades since. I can easily accept that Bruno did something that required disciplining. But was it something so bad he could never ever take the field again? Really? In addition what I can’t accept is that in the space of 2 years we have about 6 senior professionals who it seems the only solution to their behaviour was to show them the door. These players had no problems at their other clubs. Suggests the real problem is our club- presumably the gaffer. He’s supposed to be the manager but clearly can’t manage a group of grown men. The next question is surely we did our research on him before we hired him? Based on the results that seems unlikely. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisphantomfortress Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 So over all this shit. Our clubs a joke and they have no care for fans. Run as many events as ya like it doesn't paper over the 4 years of contempt for us (I paid for my parma btw after being told the food would be post interviews) Dunno why I bother. On another note I'm taking my nephew to his first game Sunday night looking forward to spreading this misery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF did he do to you. My teenage nephew came with me every home game from season 2 of Heart that I went to and just recently he has found reasons to not come. I have since found out he has been going to Tard matches with mates. Sad thing is I'm happy for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Bruno was loved by all at the club except for one. I know he trained a fair bit with the youth and made a big impression on players and staff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayv36 Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 The love Bruno is getting from players and staff I think shows that it was a Joyce v Bruno issue. Also Franjic’s cheeky “see you soon” proves he is staying in the league which is great, it’ll give me a reason to watch Perth matches next season.

Jestr Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 If you continue to follow this corporation you should be comfortable by now with how things are done under cfg regime In my opinion their management and business kpi’s do not align with words which are basic principles of grass root football “team” & “club” simply grazing ground for potential talent to be shipped off to markets where cfg are going to make profits we can and do argue that success on field means positive exposure for the club= more fans= more talent attracted to the club= more desire to be part of the club= More positive exposure for the brand= more profits etc etc All this isn’t important to them even if our membership grew to 40k it would represent small change compared to multimillion contracts that could be attained for selling our best talent Bruno was never going to “make them richer” too old, not good enough to go to epl...... but he was perfectly suited for us the fans he put bums on the seats, kids love him, he scored for fun (penalties excluded) won plenty of games and most of all HE had built engagement with fans I’m sick of city group treating us and the a league like a back water crappy dung covered paddock. I refuse to be like a frog in a slowly boiling pot. Time to go Thanks Bruno it was pleasure watching you score 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citypool Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 BREAKING NEWS: Fornaroli a Warrior? By Janakan Seemampillai Former Melbourne City super star Bruno Fornaroli is considering an offer to play for NPL2 club North Geelong Warriors for part of the 2019 season. The Uruguayan striker left City last month after a falling out with coach Warren Joyce. Fornaroli is keen to remain in the A League with Perth Glory and new club Western United thought to be front runners for next season. But for now he needs a club to keep the fitness levels up. He has scored 48 goals in 70 games for City and was a member of the 2016 FFA cup winning team, where he won the Mark Vidula Medal. The Warriors are one of the favourites for promotion in 2019 and a player of Fornaroli‘s class would be a huge boost for the club. Warrior’s President John Didulica has a good friendship with the star forward and his connections may help get the deal over the line. There are plenty of hurdles to overcome before the deal is finalised, but it’s a mouthwatering prospect for Geelong football which will have its first ever A League club when Western United join for the 2019/20 season. The Warriors need sponsors to help fund such a signing but there is no doubt Fornaroli could bring in huge crowds to NPL games. Fornaroli is keen to get back to enjoying his football and running around Elcho Park amongst a passionate fanbase may be just what the 2015/16 A League Golden Boot may need. The Warriors are working hard behind the scenes to make this happen, with an announcement to be made as soon as the deal is finalised. PHOTO: Bruno Fornaroli may be on his way to Elcho Park.

If Fornaroli joins them presumably he'll be a marquee, so the cap won't come into play but both marquee places will have been taken (Castro and Fornaroli). They may find it difficult to keep everyone happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
