Do you mean the "atmosphere sponges'' who demand the Active Area to be run as their entertainment? No, you moron. He means the vast majority who didn't want the vocal minority to act/speak on their behalf. Why so self absorbed?

Almost every MLS team, at full strength and for points, would smash any A-League club. Please refrain from pretending to know about things you clearly don't.Where in that post does he say a league teams > mls teams? And another thing ive been meaning to ask, aren't you the one with the melbourne heart logo tattoo? He says "if they want a holiday they can go to MLS", which I thought implied that the MLS was easy in comparison to the A-League. Which is categorically wrong. If that's not what was implied then I apologise. Yep that's me! Must say though I do not regret getting it for one second. And honestly, I think our current logo is better.

Remember when that big Yankee ex-number one pick was retweeting melbourne tweets? That was fun.

It's not a new club though so there is no debate to be had ^

I wouldn't even go out after a night game of rep because I respected the team and what I was doing. Ughh. It's this attitude that we need to change. I know that every club has them, but we have an inordinate amount of douchebags who couldn't give two shits about the club.

Retre is trying to find tickets to Drake tonight. What a fucking disgrace. I hope he never graces our shirt again the selfish little twerp.

Without the roof, I doubt they'll impede the view much. Not any worse than that glass that runs from First Touch area and across the seats in front of the visitors bench Well, it depends whether you're impacted doesn't it? I've put $5000 into two Premium A memberships over the five seasons, and I wouldn't be taking kindly to having a restricted view or changing seats if either happens. There are no spare Premium A seats in that particular bay or on the western wing at all - I know because I enquired only a couple of weeks ago. MrsJW can't take the sun so moving to the eastern side is out of the question. I rang the club yesterday about this. As it happens it looks as though our row will not be affected, and I was advised that those members who will be affected will be contacted by City. I don't often use expletives, but it's about fucking time FFA started to consider the fans who make this game rather than making ad hoc decisions from its comfortable offices in Sydney. Talk about fucking first world problems. Pull your head in mr. jw.

anyone remember Aaron Mooy? Lol. This clubs recruitment is absolutely awesome.

We are not signing him WTF guys?

Lol. So basically what you are saying is if he had a squad of players and an assistant that could do his job for him, he would be good at his job. Fuck me, this forum makes my head spin sometimes.That's an exceptionally simple way to look at it. One person doesn't have to/can't be expected to/shouldn't be in charge of multiple aspects/roles within an organisation. It's about balance and utilizing strengths. We should aim for a strong squad, strong assistants with different strengths and so forth. Having a bull of a manager who is in charge of the whole football department might have been the optimal situation in the 80s, but times change. I'd also be very interested to see what our sports psychology department looked like.No. It's a realistic way to look at it. As mentioned before you need a good support team to be successful, but the head coach plays a massive role and has to be on top of multiple aspects of things. This is the A League. We don't have huge lists of coaching staff for every conceivable aspect of the game. The fact you think we actually have a psychology department at all is pretty funny and a good indication that you have no idea of the reality of how things work. You're right, if we indeed do not contract/use psychologists at all, I guess I don't have any idea. If we do though and you are wrong, it'd make you re-evaluate your condescending attitude though. I'd be very interested to find out, as I said.

What I'm saying is that - as an analogy - he wouldn't be able to keep QPR from the drop, but he'd take Man City to the title. Big difference in the way both teams need to be managed.

I think JVS would be an exceptional manager of a team full of stars, who know the ropes and are self-reliant. To get to that stage I believe we need a hard-nosed coach who will bark at the players and instill a strong sense of mongrel/desire/attitude. I don't believe this type of manager is suited to teams 'at the top'. Therefore I would like to see us bring in a bullish assistant who would ideally be the players manager for the short term, with JVS having more of a high end role. Once the time comes and we develop a proper fucking winning mentality we can then re-address JVS and the assistant's role. That would be how I'd address this mediocre situation.

Yeah mate I don't think he'll be reading this forum. But ridiculous to say that we need to support him.

FFS. I'd legitimately prefer to roll the dice on this Stevanja kid than play Redders. Hope he proves me wrong.

Must be a short delay. It's about time this bloke is seen in Australia!

30 mins til it breaks

There's going to be an announcement at 10am today. Not even joke.

NO ^

Already happened. Official club Instagram commented on his phito 'glad to have you onboard'. Exciting!

Lucky I didn't say that then Pete.

I still go to games every now and again and watch every game on TV but I would say I follow city, not "support" them. I don't feel any particularly strong bond with city like I did with with Heart and I certainly don't feel the same sense of needing to go out of my way for the club anymore. Shit like this doesn't do anything to really help either. In fact if I wasn't OCD there's a pretty good chance I would have opted out by now. It's like a book that I have started reading and even though I am really not enjoying it that much and not reading it anywhere near as much as was, I still have to keep going. Then that's on you, not CFG. And to that end, I think 'supporters' of City would have every right to tell you to fuck off if you started up.

What time for us?
