I have a feeling that Mauk and Garrucio would be better helped being with the squad in Manchester.... Their last game is on the 18th, and the very latest date I've seen published that they'll be touring with the Young Socceroos until is the 21st. So hopefully they can quickly fly over to Manchester after they are no longer needed, and get at least a few days in Manchester with the team.

Murfy1 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 VIDEO: Melbourne City FC Kick Off Carrington Camp 10 July 2014 Melbourne City FC TV spoke to Andrew Redmayne ahead of the team's camp at Manchester City's Carrington Training Centre. http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/melbourneheart/news-display/VIDEO-Melbourne-City-FC-Kick-Off-Carrington-Camp/91131 Video at link above. Hopefully that's a thing now, 'Melbourne City FC TV', and this impressive standard of club media is by and large maintained. It's a fantastic development.

M13 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 What Silva is hinting at is that there´s a whole department of geeks working for City group that are under pressure to produce web content to motivate why they earn good wages watching football and chatting to players instead of doing "real" work..

jw1739 Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Their competitions start on 9th August, so they might be better prepared, but I would have thought that we have any ideas about silverware this season we ought to be competitive against all three of the sides we're up against.

cadete Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) The Championship is a much better league than A League and the SPL as well FWIW... I would say League One myself. Edited July 11, 2014 by cadete 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embee Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 The Championship is a much better league than A League... I would say League One myself. Was going to say the same thing.

Jimmy Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) I know a current Birmingham City player. He reckons there's massive a gap in quality between League 1 and the Championship. Even bigger than Championship-Prem. I took him to the last game of the season against the Wanderers and he said it was about league one level. He couldn't believe Tando was a professional Goalkeeper and asked if the wanderers supporters were German. Also said that big black bloke (Engelaar) is way too good to be playing in Australia Edited July 11, 2014 by Jimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the A-L slots somewhere between those two leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the A-L slots somewhere between those two leagues. Seven years ago today's better A League sides would have been around the quality of those fighting for relegation in the Championship but the EPL going from strength to strength has seen the Championship become literally now one of the better league's in the world. The Championship is unique for a Second Tier Comp in that it has both a large TV audience and is now quite desirable to play in for foreign players.
