I wouldn't have wanted Uffie. Last season was pretty dire, results and entertainment wise, despite having a relative wealth of resources at his disposal and having had years to implement his system. He's tactically inflexible. I have no regrets NZF didn't seriously consider him.
You do have to wonder why his final season with the squad was so poor when Italiano has a worse side on paper but is top of the league?
Is it all down to Griffiths?
I think Uffie real sed his heart wasn't in the Nix anymore so not sure that adding the AWs to the mix would have helped him or us (Nix/AWs).
