NZF is broke as it is. Any money made from the Mexico tie will certainly not go towards a "quality overseas coach".

Not gonna happen.

Broke? What are you on about? Have a look at the NZF 2012 Annual Report. NZF are doing a good job of managing the financial injection that came courtesy of NZ's WC appearance in 2010. This is probably one thing NZF can actually take credit for.


Hmm, yeah, nah.

The injection of $5m (allegedly) from TV rights for next week's game certainly helps. We would be facing a much more frugal future without it.

But setting aside $1m of that over 4 years ($250k per year) to pay the All Whites coach would at least be a start. You could maybe then afford to get someone with A-League assistant-coaching experience.

Seriously people, that's the standard of candidate we will be looking at. Most A-League head coaches would expect to be on $300k+

I posted once before that I think probably the most value for money investment that Sport NZ could make into NZF is topping up the All Whites coach salary by $100-200k a year. That would push the job up into another league of candidate (although still not great). They won't do it though because the All Whites are not ranked high enough to be perceived as worth investing in (unlike the Football Ferns).
