Makes sense. I guess he/his agent is probably using the opportunity to raise his profile in the UK by being 'in-demand' in the hope of getting a job offer later when he's finished with his Bahrain stint.

Hudson comes across as super ambitious. Why would he turn down a chance to coach Bahrain in a fairly major tournament next January??( Asian Cup). If he does well there he will put him self in the shop window for bigger and better jobs.However If he took the AW job he would get the occasional friendly match then over the next two years he would disappear into the wilderness of Honiara, Noumea etc with the Oceania WC playoffs. The carrot would be Confederation Cup in 2017 but you would hardly imagine that would be a big enough incentive to spend the next two or three years in a football backwater on low pay and poorly resourced.
If it is down to Ramon, Farina or some old UK hack then please please let it be Ramon. He could get a two year appointment and they could reassess it when they see how he has done after the Oceania qualifiers. I could accept Ramon....but Farina..NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Trouble is two of the selection panel(Martin and the NZ sports guy) are new on the local football scene. Farina's CV probably looks great. Coached Australia, assistant at a WC, coached in Asia and the Pacific.....knows the A-League and Asian scene. But they probably don't know what a c**t he is.

It does beg the question why the chief executive is picking the head coach. Football decisions should be made by football people
Normo's coming home
Even costa rica coach is on 500k a year
why is that a surprise? they play plenty of games and would be able to afford that
I've probably missed it but where has this talk of the job paying $125k come from?

I just can't see how someone with that sort of record would be the choice of an organization trying to build some credibility after some public shambles. But of course this is NZF we are talking about.

Makes Farina look like a pussycat.
Farina has taken a Director of Football role at the Fijian Football Association. Whether that means he could take the role as All Whites coach on a part time basis, I do not know. Would seem like a complete conflict of interest for me.
Here's to hoping...

Correct, which does beg the question, err, why is a non-football person the CEO of NZF in the first place?

Because being a footballer does not automatically qualify someone to run a multi million dollar enterprise. Why not give John Terry a call, he's a good footballer and seems like a top bloke also!!
I would rather have a guy who knows jack shit about football, but is a proven CEO steering NZF than someone with very little business sense potentially steering us in to financial oblivion.
Let those around him with experience of NZ football help inform him and guide him. If he has any real ability as a leader, he'll listen to those in the know and go from there.
NZF is a business and should be run as such.

So while Hudson appeals as being an attractive alternative to the names out there, the reality is two of the three names are people that we as fans probably don't want to see.

Would NZF be open to this Bahrainy chap starting after the Asian Cup in January? Just a thought.

With career scapegoat Lochead and his understudy Lia impressing when released from the Ricki Herbert shackles, it just goes to show how much a coach can not only influence a team but a players potential.
This is a critical appointment and one that NZF are bound to get wrong, I guess if there are any silver linings you would hope that Ramon or Emblem would be available on short notice when everything goes pear shaped.
