Central Coast Mariners - Under New Ownership
Fair enough, but seems a little odd when they telecast Super Rugby games from Fiji to standard.
Anyway I was more speculating about a friendly(ies) like the Mariners are doing in Vanuatu. The Fiji national team (almost all domestic based players) would give the Nix a decent hitout.
and on the second point https://wellingtonphoenix.com/news/phoenix-spreads-its-wings-fiji
Shame they haven't done it again since. I guess there is a cost flying & accommodating a squad.
This report says they got about 12,000 to the first game, a 2-1 win for the Nix. Helped I guess by local hero Roy playing for Fiji (got their goal). 2nd game a 2-2 draw.

Hope it gets them the results they need financially.
Nix may have a good leasse deal on that new Hutt training facility. But they have a ALW team adding to the Expenses column, CCM as yet don't have one.

I'm glad they did, I get to see both squads training when not at work. And to be honest, the facilities are absolutely outstanding. The club may lose money at this move BUT the improvement in the players with the correct facilities will serve them very well in the long term.
Wilkshire got a head coaching gig lined up?
Previously head coach at Wollongong Wolves?
The Central Coast Mariners can announce that Head of Youth Development Luke Wilkshire will leave the club effective immediately.

The Central Coast Mariners thank Luke for his time at the club and wish him well in his future endeavours.
Coached in the NPL, now age group Mariners & Australia.
If Talay does leave at season end, Wilkshire is the sort of guy could make a good Nix replacement. Seems to go alright (certainly initially) when the Nix give a young Aussie their first ALM coaching gig. Sure Rudan left under a big cloud, but results wise his first & only season at the Nix was a success.
The Central Coast Mariners are excited to announce that former Leeds United analyst Andres Clavijo has joined the club’s coaching staff for the upcoming season! ✍️🌴

Welcome to the Coast, Andres! 💛💙#CCMFC #BeOurMate
Understand that a deal has been agreed for Championship-winning coach Nick Montgomery to leave Central Coast Mariners and become the manager of Scottish side Hibernian.

Personal terms are being discussed with Montgomery, but he is likely to become Hibernian's new coach.
Huge loss for CCM, he has done wonders with a limited budget.
CCM production line continues : )
Any players left in his squad he might try to take with him?

Mariners legend John Hutchinson has some strong coaching creds now. Currently an assistant manager with J1 club Yokohama FC.
But yes going to be an even tougher ask now for CCM to repeat last season's success.
How would Storm Roux go in the SPL?
Wouldn't be silly of Newcastle United to terminate Garang Kuol's loan deal with Hearts and send him across town to a Montgomery coached Hibs. Kuol struggling a bit in Scotland.
Edit - scatch that. See that Kuol is now with Volendam in Holland.
Richard Peil, chairman of football club Central Coast Mariners, is looking for an investor to help bolster the finances of the A-League Champions https://t.co/2vPt9APQUJ

We are delighted to announce our new Head Coach on a three-year deal.
Will also be interesting to see what add ons they have to training payouts the get in the future with all their youngsters moving around. All it takes is 1 big transfer out of the lot and their whole financial situation changes.
Heard Ufuk Talay firming as a possibility to coach Mariners.
