Thats odd. Thought he'd be more keen to come to Youngheart if he did move. God knows we need him.

Making the Championship a bit more even
 
I really wanted him to succeed for us last season but the guy was crap. Turned into a cult figure purely by the fact that he was signed as our "marquee" player and then didn't score a single goal all season.
I had the chant all ready too:
(Sneaky Sound System) "I saw Osea score and nobody believed me..." Damn Right!

We must have some pretty good sponsorship this year. The word I hear is that entrance to Memorial Park for YoungHeart matches this season will be Free!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jeepers, if we can't get a decent crowd with that news then there is no hope.

No excuses if it's free. If thats the case, I'll definitely be there. I used to get free tickets to the games at FMG stadium but that won't be happening now.

In the paper today...
 
.As if YoungHeart Manawatu wasn't already short of quality players, star midfielder Ian Sandbrook has added to the woes of coach Bob Sova by dropping the retirement bombshell yesterday.
 
apparently his job with Manawatu Cricket has expanded. Anyone getting a bit sus all of a sudden why its all happening now?

well done clever clogs. But consider that BOTH Robinson and Sandbrook have disappeared within a week or so after the mauling by TW. There has been rumours of unrest in the squad and Sova 'supposedly' was not easy to get on with at Central Football (where Sandbrook previously worked)

I thought we were supposed to be signing players! Of the 7 I've heard confirmed we are now back to 5!!!!! Is there a national 5-aside league we can join?
 
That's last season's midfield pretty much all gone. Perhaps we are going to play the long ball game.
My excitment at the NZFC starting is diminishing quickly now. Looks like my weekends are beginning to free up through the summer.

As posted previously, I have had an uneasy feeling about this whole situation for some time. Nothing that has happened in the past 6 weeks has made me feel any better.

Confirmed by YHM sponsorship & marketing manager. Free entry to be covered by game day sponsors.
Becoming less and less relevant as days go by however.

Confirmed players = Bailey, Robson, Cooksley, Milne and Cowan.
Nieres I'll believe when I see him in the flesh on NZ soil in blue and green.
Anyone else definitely confirmed?
 
I hear the 2 Fijians are available again now?!!

Pull your head in f**k face. Convenient or not, his job is orientated around the summer i.e.crickets busy season. If he has to work, he has to work. Did he slight you personally? Why don't you ring him up at his job and have the balls to call him a liar to his face.

The fact of the matter is that Manawatu has always had problems holding their players.
Commins,Totori, Sale, Maemae, Sandbrook, Robinson, Watson, Imray, Halstead .... Shall I go on?

Its just bloody unfortunate.

Cowan's no kid.  Best attacking midfielder in the central league on his day.  TeeeeDubs wanted him but couldn't make it happen.
 
Cooksley I don't know but Milne, Bailey and Robson are all quality so could be a good young squad.

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

Calm down mate Its all a tad silly, I think there is something more to it then just cricket...why would he have had the link with Auck....and then signed for manawatu??? Dome Rowe didnt go to half the trainings and no one cared...Im sure Ian is a big enough figure in the team to still be the leader and have time for his cricket...
 
As for "holding" our players....thats all money champ. And pulling power...Just like in any league when a team with no money has a good player...they just like to take all of them!!!
I mean look at Peter...miramar didnt want him so he went to manawatu, scored a few goals all of a sudden hes back in welly.
 
If I win powerball this week Im giving 2 Mill to youngheart to get youngheart back on track! And Ill take everyplayer from auck!

Cowan is the man but he cant hold a NZFC Franchise together. We mars well just change PN Marists name to youungheart manawatu and build that team...at least there is a base.

Agree with both the Cowan and quality youth comments but it is still important to have those experienced older hands like Robinson and Sandbrook around if you can get them.

Question: Does the management at Youngheart even care about Youngheart? It doesn't look like it at all. The season starts in a few weeks (as far as I know, less than a month) and two of our only seven/eight contracted players have decided to pack it in. Thats pathetic. If the YH staff gave a sh*t about what happened to the club, we would all be very disappointed about the loss of Robbo and Mousie, like we are now, but we would also know that there was still a side that was gonna come out on a Sunday and play. At the moment YH would be doing something spectacular if they get 11 men and a reserve keeper down to Christchurch. And I thought last season's preparation was crap...

Can we not find someone in Palmerston North passionate about football to take over and DO SOMETHING? Christ I'd do it except I'm 16, know nothing at all about running a football club, and live in Wellington.

Mr Sandbrook... no. You wont get close. I wont deny that money is a reason why these players leave but the fact remains that they leave... for whatever reason.

Personally for me, Adam Cowan is a very good footballer but I've yet to see him play in his best position (not that I could tell you where that is mind you). He needs a wiser calmer head beside him because he does have a tendancy to lose the plot on occasions and get wound up. Passionate, with out a doubt but sometimes passion can turn to fury.

To the people that say 'Do the board care? What are they doing" Offer your services as a volunteer. Swap the time posting on here ranting about how so and so does this and doesn't do that to putting the mental energy in helping your franchise do better. Its obvious the league is in a predicament for this year (revamp next year) so rather than point fingers and abuse those that do put the time in free of charge to run the board, offer your advice and get involved and support your team. Its the old adage of put up or shut up. I'm guessing most wouldn't because of the volunteer status and other reasons.
Most of us here don't agree with HappyTeds views but you can't deny the fact that he gets involved with his franchise and goes to every game in the bloody country.

I would think with the amount of YM knockers on this board volunteering, the performance behind the scenes could turn around quickly.
