“You’d think that the fact there are people who have been prepared to lose significant sums for a cause that benefits your organisation requires some professional courtesy. And not destabilising and disrespecting the coach of the only pro team in the country or annoying fans too could be a way to go? ”
I’m curious in what way NZF have not shown professional curtesy (in relation to AW job) and destabilised and disrespected the coach?
Job description gave the parameters, everything else was for discussion in the interview. Applicants were advised they would have a response by end of January. Pragnell called UT, who didn’t answer. So he sent an email. Better UT knows where he stands than have that in his mind while preparing for a Phoenix game.

If they were never considering him say that up front.
Don’t f the team/club/Uffie around for six weeks and then go, oh and you’ll have to be based in Auckland which is obviously a non-starter. It’s just disrespectful. It doesn’t seem like there was any situation where he would have been appointed, but them made him jump through hoops and jerked the rest of us around by pretending he was in the running.
Uffie doesn’t seem to be the kind of coach who’d do that to a player and tbh that was part of the attraction. Some frank communication after an era of pretending Huddo was Bielsa.
@Coochie he had a missed call prior to the email. But come the f on. We’re not talking about going for a call centre job. Call his boss, see where he is when he’s back etc.
Are you saying NZF have not benefited a lot from all the Phoenix investment? It’s a loss making operation.
