Assistant Petr Kratky is apparently the next coach of Mumbai City - apparently the next logical step for all our assistant coaches.
When you realise we're the feeder club to Mumbai 🤯

I'm not sure that ticket prices are set by the club. IIRC all the arrangements for the match are in the hands of the AFC.
Maybe I'm remembering it wrong but I swear the adults tickets for the first two ACL home games were closer to 30?
-
43 bucks for a ticket is a joke. I think the club is trying to cash in on the strong contingent of away fans each ACL team has brought over. What makes it worse, is that the only Melbourne City supporters who would be buying tickets for this are ones without memberships, so when you get a chance to potentially re-engage them with the club, theres every chance they (fairly) sod it off due to the cost.
Do better City. -

What rocks have you been smoking lately? He may have made some mistakes, but he's far from the worst keeper we've had. If we had a better back 4 in front of him he would hardly be getting noticed...
Give me a spell. He's fine, and that is the most generous description I could give him. He's long past his best, and I think you could make an argue for the last three seasons his decline has been pretty rapid.
Like I've said on his forum before, while the club is going through a squad transition, I'd rather be putting this games into a young promising keeper i.e. Beach. Jamie Young might have been okay for a stop gap if we were in the hunt for trophies, but that clearly isn't the case. So my argument is really what's to be gained from playing him? He isn't saving us enough points to win anything, and when his contract is up, what then? Invest in young Australian goalkeepers - this club has done pretty well in the last half decade backing young Australian players and that for me was a point of pride.

Simply because he is a GK? If manifesting resulted in the termination of contracts then there would hardly be enough players to have a two team competition given the number of tactical fouls that occur every match. And in any case, the player can claim that has he was not red-carded due process was followed (albeit AFAIK this has not been tested in a court of law).
Mate, I was just joshing. I simply want Jamie Young out of my club, is that too much to ask? 😭

How so? Players can commit fouls and not have a contract terminated. And as far as fouls are concerned, the Jet's player was able to continue playing.
Ever heard of manifesting?

From where I'm sitting, Youngs challenge has grounds for a contract termination.

One that stands out like dogs balls is that we need better goalkeepers in our squad that the likes of Glover and Young.
Maybe a hot take? But I think Glover was largely pretty decent for us. To me, goalkeeprs fall into trap more so than any other position that they can do ten good things in a game, one bad and people tend to only remember the bad. He started almost every game for the Austrlian U 23 teams, and when he was at City and playing regularly he was making Socceroos squads. Theres a reason he earnt himself a move to a decently sized championship club.
And even if he wasn't perfect, there was obvious upside of him being a promising young australian keeper. With Jamie, hes obviously well past it, so whats to be gained from playing him? Might not be for everyone, but I'd personally rather start Beach every game and work through the teething pains - especially when we as a club are in a transitioning period. -

Got a feeling this will be a largely boring 1-1 draw.

Idk what our actual plans are, but feel like we need a new, long term CB in the january transfer market. With an average age of 32, all three of our regular CB's are liable to be injured at any given point, seems like a recipe for disaster. You can't trust Nuno, I love Curtis Good but at the moment he's a shadow of his former self, and Souprayen is Souprayen. I know we have Jordon Hall, but I feel like if there was every any real chance of him breaking into the team, it'd have happened by now.
