Its also a dry run of Kisnorbo's ability to be the manager IMO. As mentioned elsewhere, City are looking to save money on players coaches and back room staff and that was the tone before the COVID19. paddy would be cheap is a known figure at the club and has an insight to playing style directly via Mombeart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he wanted to, it's unlikely that he'll be able to travel internationally for at least 6 months. French and Australian borders are closed, and there's no football anywhere apart from here.

Mork Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 Hahahaha, I was waiting for it. Am I hoping for the side to fail.....absolutely not. Do I feel he’ll erode and disenfranchise it....absolutely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityBoyz Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 He’s not going anywhere was just a rumour that city shut down straight away. No other news on it. He’s on a 3 year deal just speculation and good thing by the club to leave him in Melbourne no point in risking his health when we have the rest of our games in Melbourne. He’s on track to bring us our best ever points tally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oil prices have plunged so there'll be less money in the kitty This is from Al jazeera " https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/03/coronavirus-travel-restrictions-border-shutdowns-country-200318091505922.html "France French President Emmanuel Macron announced on March 16 that France's borders would be closed from March 17. The French leader, however, added that the country's citizens would be allowed to return home. The EU's external borders were also shut for 30 days from March 17. This does not apply to US citizens departing France to return to the United States. Flights from China, Hong Kong, Macao, Singapore, South Korea, Iran, and affected regions in Italy arriving at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris are met by medical professionals to answer questions and take into care any person presenting symptoms." I think that Mombearts will be seriously considering returning to France. It may happen very soon. I have heard he has elderly parents etc and City would not deny him a return on that basis alone. If COVID19 worsens, which it will IMO, he might not get back at all. JVS contract mutually terminated on similar grounds so city could allow Mombearts a return for family reasons then offer him the AS Nancy Job so they don't lose him from CFG. If paddy continues to have wins then i would put money on Mombearts leaving once there is mthematically no chance of us losing second spot. Mombearts will have achieved at least one of the metrics of his appointment - ACL qualification. (yea i know it may not happen but he cant control that) BTW i hate the idea of losing Mombearts, but i am just looking at the situation and putting 2 and 2 together on this.

TheStig Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Just checking in on Mombaerts performance. The loss to Newcastle was shocking. We need to give him an ultimatum. If the team doesn't win a game in the next month he has to go! cheers Peter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latest official acquisition was Lommel SK in Belgium. I'll be very disappointed if he leaves, but with so much uncertainty over the game in Australia I can understand if CFG move him.

Like the rest of my demographic it's more a matter of getting through each day. I've signed on for next season for a particular reason, but that's all I've thought about so far.
