Central League

It'll be interesting how this Kaizen/Olympic thing works out. It'll always be that Kaizen comes first as its his business and money maker.

What happens if Olympic dont get results?  Sacking the first team coach could mean you lose your junior focus.

so is stu coaching olympic or what? Sounds like a clusterfk

Heard it's a goer and all U20 players must play Kaizan.

would have thought Stu would be better off making Kaisen club independent if it wants to grow/last

Sounds like Argie lad Leo from Karori has signed for Olympic.

who spun you that one

The classic small town Wellington football Chinese whispers grape vine rumour mill.

Has strong links with another Argie at Olympic so influenced his move there, and wants to play CL has cap prem was a cake walk for him

You seem to be in the know. What other interesting news you
got?

Stats shot from Cap Football.

Nice overview of players in Central League, Cap Prem and below.

Other interesting stuff like Most League Appearances, League goals, defunct clubs ...

Rumour has it that Lloyd O'Keefe has been reappointed at Lower Hutt despite them being involved in a relegation battle for most of the season, and also leading an under 19s campaign where a Lower Hutt team failed to make it out of the group for the first time in about 5 years. 

Also massive funding issues with the station village closing down, so senior players could look to go else where in search of fatter envelopes

If you're talking about this year's under 19s then they made the quarters after winning the group

Station Village opening again

different owner though. 

I believe so. 

Lloyd has now gone..

Did he leave or was he booted?

Lloyd was re-appointed as the MCL coach for 2016 in October.  Unfortunately for the club, he has for personal reasons had to tender his resignation.   The club wishes him all the best.

?

that was a cryptic 'return of the mac' (McIntyre) ?

Surely not? 

Research on this pretty poor. Pretty sure the under 19's lost quarter final v Hamilton Wanderers 1-0 aet. 

Wonder if those 'personal reasons' were by chance a better offer from another club?
It would be a shame if wasn't involved in the game.

Could it be that he will be assistant for Team Welly for the O-League?

What's the latest on this? Heard having Greeks play for Olympic ain't on the agenda any more?

Lower Hutt announced their new coach Ryan Sandford

https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=...

rumour has it that Hamish Watson could be headed to the Greeks, apparently he's still wanting to make it as a pro and thinks stu has some good contacts to help that happen. This was found on an Olympic players Twitter this afternoon, confirmation or feeding the gossip?

I just don't know if he's athletic enough, sad to say.

a lot of chat about Olympic preseason

the rumour hill has been churning over the festive season with the following moves looking locked in

Tapfuma dimario to Olympic 

Taylor hall-jones to Rapa 

Josh hill to Rapa 

Coey turipa to Lower Hutt

Taylor Schrijvers to Miramar 

Tom Jackson to Miramar 

Dan Clarke to Miramar 

Luis corrales to stop out

a couple of people have thrown about Sam Blackburn as a potential target for Lower Hutt. New Lower Hutt coach has been in contact with a number of local players asking about their availability or other particular players  availability. Stu Jacobs wants to remove Mikey and jimmy from Olympic which will be interesting to see how the club deal with this. Basalaj confirmed to Olympic with James Mcapeak heading to Ole. Any one have an early predictions for title contenders and relegation candidates?

So Lower Hutt leaking a few players? Is that because of the new coach or what?

Prbably due to their cash cow going belly up

Lower Hutt struggling for money to put together a comortified team by the looks

I thought it was an amateur league?
