Well looks as if NZF did and they complained to the press council about it

Press council has dismissed complaint and also has a dig at NZF - "The impact on the reputation of NZF (because it could not run a confidential process) is not relevant to this consideration."

Very interesting.  Suggests to me that NZF let slip the names to the media, and then (perhaps after a complaint from one of the applicants) realised they had fudgeed up (surprise surprise) and took this route to try and fix it. 

Think is a reasonable chance that it was someone at NZF whom let the list of names slip. It was a pretty impressive list, from which Sermanni was picked. So it reflected well on them.

Contrasts well to picking Heraf as the coach, when they didn't advertise the role, and just internally rubber stamped his full time appointment, after he had done the job as a caretaker for a few games. Even if you disregard the disaster of his coaching management, turns out NZF broke some FIFA rules by having their DOF, also as a national team coach.

So letting slip a list of quality candidates would do their image no harm with either the Ferns players or the football public, after the Heraf fiasco.

Contrasts well of course to when they appointed Heraf, when they didn't advertise the role, and just internally rubber stamped his full time appointment, after he had done the job as a caretaker for a few games. Even if you disregard the disaster of his coaching management of the Ferns, turns out NZF broke some FIFA rules by having their DOF, also as a national coach.
