History for Ted Striker

Its obviously not Des - the initial delay in announcing the coach was subject to his availability no doubt about it. Talay will be last cab off the rank - simply hasn't done enough at club level. Bazeley potentially as he's a NZF pipeline coach - players know him and he's a nice guy, he's not going to upset anyone - safe bet for NZF who have been told to make everyone happy by a report. Interesting to know who the other two are - I'm guessing offshore who are in club roles and do not want their names out in public - again with the delayed announcing it could be around these negotiations. If it was Talay or Bazeley they would announce it in the next few days. 

Your comments on Bazeley I actually agree with. Think that Mckinnon report is going to have a large influence in who they appoint, especially now that Des has been ruled out.

Be interesting if Emblen (currently an assistant coach at Colorado Rapids?) has thrown his hand in. Are him & Bazeley mates?

People are going on about Bazeley being a route one, old school English type gaffer, but his most recent team the U19s didn't play like that, and neither did Hay's AWs. Coaches evolve, plus match tactics to what players they have. Well the good ones do.

Blind Freddie can see that the new AWs coach, will have in their squad the best group of technically gifted players in the team's history.

Dunno what you are basing your opinion on the U19's playing attractive football. They played incredibly disjointed and missed easy opportunities in every game look at this miss of an open goal and the quality of the opposition?

Why hire a national coach based on their record in Oceania and not not at the Club World Cup? Also do you remember Beazley coaching the U17 team at home age group world cup? He and Hay had 3 years working with the same group of players in the national league for the world cup tournament at home and all they could come up when the tournament arrived was 10 men behind the ball. Anyone but Beazley. If Hay took NZ back to the 90s and had no idea how to structure an offense the Beazley will take us right back to the 70s.

I'm personally hoping Ramon was keen to return to NZ and threw his name in the hat and is one of the mystery two. I'm not excited about Talay mediocrity and what has Bazeley done to give anybody any optimism? 

Well Bazeley coached the NZ U19s to victory in the recent OFC champs without conceding a goal. Not sure even Buckingham achieved that. They also played some pretty attractive football.

I guess most importantly he's been heavily involved with the senior AWs, since basically the Tokyo Olympics - so knows the players, culture etc etc. Handy when you get so little time together in the FIFA windows to actually achieve much. But do the playing group rate him?

That question should have more sway, than whether he's prepared to attend every meeting held at NZF Albany HQ, or woke workshop.

Not sure what you are basing the attractive football of the U19's on? From what i saw they miss
