  1. Rado Vidosic on Lam and Van Der Venne  departure 

    “Thomas is a fantastic guy, and he did so well for us,” Vidosic said.

    “Richard’s wife was homesick and she didn’t want to stay here anymore.
    “They both contributed really well for us. Richard was a bit injured and it cost him some game time but in the middle part of the season, he really showed Australia what he’s capable of doing.

    “I think both of them wanted to stay because they enjoyed it enormously but it was a family decision more than their own decision.”
     

    Rado Vidosic on Florin Berenguer future 

    Vidosic is keen for the out-of-contract 34-year-old playmaker to sign a new deal but he’s yet to give the club answer.

    “He needs to speak to his family because he’s been here for five years now” the City coach said.

  2. Khaldoon Al Mubarak on CFG as a whole 

    "It's one step at a time. We're not going to stop. We're going to keep going and keep investing and keep growing value and keep bringing happiness to every community and club we have in the world…”
     

    Khaldoon Al Mubarak on GF Loss 

    "Of course we were not successful in the GF.. that’s football, finals are 90’ which is different to a league which inevitably the best team wins across the whole season whatever number of games you play. 

    In a final it’s 90' sometimes it goes your way sometimes it doesn’t and when it does it’s great and when it doesn’t it doesn’t

    Melbourne unfortunately over the season was the most consistent team but on the GF they were not successful "

    I’m trying to remember who we have signed in the past straight from a “top league.” I suspect that Gerald Sibon (Heerenveen, Eredivisie), Bruno Fornaroli, (Danubio, Uruguay) Craig Noone (Bolton, EFL Championship) and Adrian Luna (Liga MX, Mexico) might be the only candidates? Have I missed anyone?

    I would say that Arslan has a pedigree that might even be better than any of those four?

    Manuel Susaeta had a very good CV

    I swear it was announced after about 5 games coaching that they gave him a 2 year deal?? Maybe just a vivid dream.... 🙃

     

    Why was the club so reactionary to appoint him from caretaker to permanent after just 8 games with a record of 4-3-1 with 3 of the wins against pretty average sides in WU, MacArthur and Wellington

    @MHFC-FAN May I ask where your information on Rado's contract being two years came from? I've not seen that anywhere myself.

    Depends what CFG's intentions are. I can never quite work those out. Maybe they prefer a manager/coach who does what he is told by Marwood and co. rather than someone who is going to be more independent?

    I don't see the point of keeping Florin. Irrespective of his visa status he doesn't fit the "chase and harry" mould required if we are going to keep playing this extreme "City way" style - which we seem to have no intention to change even though it does not work against the better sides - and he is no longer a starting player. Nor is he a prolific scorer. Bringing him on in the 88th minute when we're already losing 1-5 is an insult to both him and City fans. IMO visa players should under all normal circumstances be starters. If we have to consider new visa signings or retaining visa players just to sit on the bench IMO we should be asking questions of the Academy.

    We're going to have to have a rebuild so we might as well have a real one.

    Exactly and he is injury prone
