It doesn't look pretty and I do wonder what is going on behind the curtain.... These players all leaving for personal reasons, they’ve been in Australia for what like 8 or 9 months? Moving from the Netherlands to Australia is hardly a shock. Better money elsewhere, disagreements with club management, game time? VDV didn’t get much game under PK either at one stage.

We can use a shake up there too if you want play in the ACL. I’m assuming Tilio is gone. Now assuming most of these player knew they were leaving, how much was this in their heads when playing the grand final? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHFC-FAN Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 Sigh. This is the turnover that generic united have experienced and they finished 7th... we're down to 1 confirmed visa in Nuno and hopefully we don't waste one on Berenguer. If he does stay he should be Aus citizen or we cut him. Jamie Young and Steven Ugarkovic I am confident both will be announced soon. Also young midfielder from WSW Lapone is joining. Antonis may sign mostly for ACL coverage/depth. Young I feel is at the same level if not an improvement on Glover. Ugarkovic is probably a slight step down on O'neil Lapone and if we do sign Antonis I don't expect them to be near the best 11. Very pivotal off season indeed. By far the biggest since the City take over... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tilio has only one year left, If they don’t sell him now he can walk out for free. Be realistic, Maclaren current wages probably would take up most of the cap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any way, as per a few posts above, my email from the club came in at 7.08 this morning - both Lam and VdV returning to Europe for personal reasons. Is this going to be the biggest rebuild in A-League history? I'm going to be bold and say that there has to be something more going on behind the scenes than just players seeking new opportunities and/or personal reasons. Does anyone else feel annoyed that the Club goes public with these announcements before sending it to members first? It's the little things that help retain members and make them feel like they belong to a club rather than a CFG customer...

Regarding my post here about 8pm last night re: VDV definitely going. Let's just say ''inside source''. I VERY rarely post in this thread, and I don't ever post rumours. I have no interest in doing so. Facts do occur before they reach the internet. There was no url available at the time I posted it. The news had not gone public at that stage.

Hard to say, isn't it. Maybe, for various reasons, despite what some say about "liveability," Melbourne isn't what they thought it would be and they don't wish to stay. Either they themselves or someone in the family, here or back in The Netherlands. It's hardly a paradise these days, and I know that I would get out of Melbourne if I could, but I'm trapped here financially. We will never know anyway. Couldn't have come at a worse time for the club, ACL and all that. Let's hope Petrillo has got his ducks lined up and can turn it from a threat to an opportunity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heart1011 Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 I honestly feel there is more to Lam and VDV leaving than just "personal reasons" and I don't believe Rado is the man to take us through this rebuild. The GF alone showed how clueless he is and that his so called game plan came undone and he had no backup. I don't care if people say "it's just one game, it's irrelevant" and so on. The fact of the matter is it was the 2 best teams of the season playing and yet we looked like absolute amateurs and got absolutely spanked. When we were 2 goals down Rado was slumped back in his chair with absolutely no plan B. It just shows in that instance he took over a great team that PK had spent time building with Mombaerts which is when it all started. Now that most of those guys have moved on I don't see Rado being capable of taking us through a complete rebuild. I don't ever remember us having such an exodus of players even in the Heart days which is why it makes me think there is something going on at the club that we don't know about. Time will tell but it's going to be a very interesting next 6 months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
