Quitting the game to look at other ventures as disillusioned with the game apparently. Wonder what he has planned next, for those of us who would have killed to have played football professionally it is an odd one, but then Seb is an odd ball.

GunnerWanderer Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 I can’t believe I would ever drop to defence to this guy but when jurman left I am guessing he would have througt he was next in line arnie bought it buus he has hardly played since probably had jack of it wendybr 1

Hughesy Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 I’m not a fan of Ryall but for someone who’s been at the club for almost 10 years, it’s a pretty shitty send off for him
theguyyouwishyouwere Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 the club has form. remember when they forced Emerton to retire for cap space?
StringerBellend Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Odd timing given ACL is about start which, given the 3+1 rule he would be a chance to play CB in. maybe the Sainsbury loan rumour is true
Johnno Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 i'm going with the trump rule, "push others out to make room for family", when do their final ACL squad lists need to be submitted? Prydzopolis and wendybr 2

Paul01 Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 Craig Foster explain the formula used by Arnie to achieve success after finishing 7th a few seasons ago No current Socceroos, Olyroos or Ypung Socceroos in the squad. Narrow the squad and don't select youth unless you have to. The only way to counter this is for the A-league competition rules to specify that a minimum of 2 u21 players are on the match day squad list for every team (with the bench extended to 7) and that all u21 players are guaranteed a minimum number of minutes per season. Prydzopolis 1
NotVaughan Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 16 hours ago, Paul01 said: all u21 players are guaranteed a minimum number of minutes per season. Wouldn't that guarantee that clubs run with the minimum number of u21 players? You wouldn't get any youth players thrown a contract for experience when they're still a year away from being ready. Probably easier to say there's a set number of u21 minutes clubs can split over any number of players. Prydzopolis 1
mack Posted February 10, 2018 Author Posted February 10, 2018 No league in the world mandates time for youth players. It'll never happen. The Chinese league mandated a starting spot for a youth player and clubs would just sub them off after 5 minutes. That is exactly what Arnold would do if you forced him to put a 20 year old in the starting lineup. Prydzopolis and MartinTyler 2

I'm putting it out there for discussion.
Hughesy Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Forced inclusion of youth just to say you are including youth does not develop youth. It just gives them all a fair turn and comes back to this PC crap of telling everyone they’re brilliant even when they’re not. If a youth player is good enough then they’ll naturally progress into the starting 11. People want the romance of home grown talents rising through the ranks and becoming club legends en masse, whilst also winning trophies. The two don’t mix (very often). I hate seeing these bastards doing so well but honestly, it’s only a rort if you’re not involved. Not one person here can pretend they’d be complaining if we were doing the same thing and were sitting on top so convincingly. wendybr, Prydzopolis and StringerBellend 3
