You would have to assume that NZ football are not going to appoint a new coach immediately. To be fair there is no rush with no games likely or planned. They first need a CEO. Therefore the cycle will be as follows. Fred appointed in a display of nepotism. A replacement is required for Freds old role and the nepotism would follow its natural conclusion to Ricki.The question then is who has the most say in appointing the coach? I would assume it is Rickis role.
The obvious next step is Emblen into the coach's role isn't it?
Yep no hurry for coach - new CEO and WC review - and interim coach will be Emblen for next 12 months or so, just in case games are required. Am expecting Ernie to do well at Phoenix during his 2 year contract. So he'd be a no brainer in 2 years if he makes the difference in Wellington.
