Well what a surprise this is Jose to Auckland city what odds would the bookies given.The good oil says he was tapped up during the season to take over from Ramon,apparently the old boys from Central/Ak City were getting sick of Ramon's style of football recruitment and his wages expect to see Jack Henry Sinclair and the other Auckland boy's return. Maybe it won't matter if the league doesn't go ahead due to guess what no funding. Anyway good luck Jose it would have been nice to see you at a club with no money for players and see if you can coach joe average players.
Aye was a terrible style (/s) am pretty sure they hated going through the season unbeaten!
Think it was more the effect of missing CWC money and also once the Carlos bloke from Barcelona who took the youth, took a job in Ecuador it was a chance to save some money
Be interesting to see who stays at ACFC, besides Mario Illich (who is a Central guy anyway) and maybe JHS not many from Team Welllington that would walk into ACFC team, maybe Andy Bevin, but doubt he'd move
Given Jose's record at Youth league and also winning the NRFL with Central (when his brief was to focus on developing youth) and then the last 3 years at TW (who have struggled for money) I reckon he's not bad at coaching some joe average players
Charge sounds like a bit of a yarn, but I have heard the same thing. Questionable personnel choices and unwillingness to budge from philosophy had a bunch of the old boys frustrated...
Personnel choices as in matchday squads? I agree, was quite strange to see a very raw Bonsu-Maro being selected over a much more talented import in Lopez just because he didn't fit the system perfectly, among other strange choices
