Torn Asunder Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 Jobs for the boys. Very insipid signing. I hope he proves me wrong, but FMD, very disappointing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fensaddler Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 I wish him well. Let's see what he can do with his own squad. Bear in mind that with cuts in income for next season, squad strength is going to be relative just as it was during COVID. We won't be as strong on paper next season, but we won't go backwards as much as other squads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 Fuck me, what is Petrillo on? Following Vidmar’s appointment as interim Head Coach in November 2023, City showed flair and ruthlessness in front of goal, "Flair and ruthlessness in front of goal?" You have got to be joking. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 14 hours ago, Torn Asunder said: Response on the socials are scathing Seems the club has lost touch with reality. So self-satisfied. Trying to make sixth place an "achievement." The objective of all clubs should be to win all the competitions it enters. We failed miserably. "...etched his name in Melbourne City history, scoring the club's maiden AFC Champions League goal..." Er, we didn't get out of the Group.... I don't mind a bit of hype, but this sort of thing is ridiculous, and IMO makes the club look foolish. Surely better to say that we didn't win anything and from that perspective it was a disappointing season, but we feel that the the best way forward in the medium time-frame is to get some stability into the squad and staff given the various circumstances. You need to take your fan-base with you every step of the way, because once they leave then it's bloody hard to get them back again. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSK_47 Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 I'm telling you. CFG no longer have any interest in "turning us into an Asian powerhouse" or whatever it was they said. They don't care if we do well or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is quite likely that they may see us as a low level feeder club. That is, the club will find a few Bos and then onsell them. Whenever big European clubs are doing Melbourne tours they will charge for use of the facilities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the case before they purchased the club tho. It's not as if it was a big secret that nobody told them about. 10 minutes ago, NewConvert said: It is quite likely that they may see us as a low level feeder club.

He has not done well as a manager anywhere. Was a first team coach under Ange at Celtic. Maybe that’s the kind of role he should be looking at 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
