Don’t see the problem here. I’ve told plenty of applicants they didn’t get the job before it was filled.
If he didn’t fit the role, why would NZF want to keep stringing him along.
NZF wanted a sole focus coach and want someone working day to day with others. If UT wasn’t prepared to forgo the Phoenix gig, he doesn’t fit the role.
But I guess whatever NZF do will be wrong according to most on here.

But it sounds like they took far too long to tell him and did it via the recruitment agent after 6 weeks when he was never gonna have a chance. Is that how you avoid stringing someone along?
Personally if I have an unbreakable requirement and they don't meet it I tell em pretty quickly.
Also how do you handle the international friendly on home soil in March if your first choice has changed their mind and you don't currently have a head coach to coach the squad.
Being realistic it is by far the most likely outcome now that he is appointed fulltime, unless he loses both China games. Hay's praises were sung to the heavens by media after losing his last 4 games in charge without scoring once. A 1-1 draw will look amazing in comparison. Herdman, Des and ufuk arent coming back. If the only other name under serious consideration was Scot Gemmill as reported, then there is nobody else decent out there. Unless NZF invite Ramon to interview or something.
