His experience with Basel might be quite useful with the All Whites.

Strongest team on paper (Basel/NZ), that should nearly always walk the local comp (Swiss/Oceania). Then have to adapt to being one of the weaker teams once they've won their way into the big time (Champions League for Basel, Confeds/Playoff for NZ)

Teams like this are really difficult to coach too, because you'll always need to be able to play multiple styles. The All Whites could play stylish, possession-based football all day against Island teams but as soon as we come up against any other side we can't play a dominant style like that. Makes it difficult to implement a style of play when it has to differ so often

Sorry dont agree with this. Ramon should have been a 'shoe in' for the job and would have implemented 'his' style of play and they would have actually used it against the islands (Unlike Hudson who played a long ball game) and used it against better opposition. He does it in the Club World Cup and has been quite successful over the years and against all style of play and opposition. He would have stubbornly drilled it into the players and we might actually have had a team we could have finally been really proud of!

If you're playing in the Handy, you probably aren't good enough to play for the AWs. For me, that extends to coaching as well. Its a sad indictment on the quality of our National League but for me, Ramon needs to do something with someone other than Auckland City to even be considered an option.
