Jag I'm not picking on you honestly! But what coach, in any other country, working in the games Premier mens league would throw that in to coach 16 year old girls? Come on !!!!!!

You kidding me.
Firstly, the payout is better and secondly, you are dealing with the best players in the country in their age group, thirdly it is an international tournament which present a different challenge, fourly there is international recognition afterwards, fifthly not any coach manages a national team.
Also we are talking about NZ and any other country. If he was in another country where the mens premier are professional and the coaches salary is worth its salt, then you may have a point and the roles would be reversed and coaches start in youth before heading to the big times in men's premier.
Apparently, they haven't spent lots of cash! Despite what 99% of Auckland Football, including me, thinks!

bobmorton, I didn't think you were picking on me , mate.
As allwhitebeliever says, if this was another country then I'd completely agree with you, but we're in NZ. Choice between a National side (albeit at age group level) with a relatively high profile after the recent WC games and getting loads of resources thrown at them or a team which struggles financially, playing in a not very good league which they'll never win and which doesn't even get exposure in it's own country. No-brainer as far as I'm concerned

If there is anyone in this country who understand the latest and current football strategy and tactics around the world in great depth, it would be John Herdman.
I have not met Temple, but looking at the way the girls team played at their World Cup tells me that he has done an fantastic job which is light years ahead of what we had previously done with our youth teams.
bobmorton, you are might be right about Marshall, I don't know him being not from Auckland or Waitako.
However as much as I heard about Edmondson, he has nearly as much as youth development coaching experience that very similar to Temple and Herdman's prior appointment to their positions. You yourself, has said that you like him and so he is obviously been under the eyes of the NZF for sometime like Temple and Herdman was before him. (And I believe that you would have liked Temple and Herdman as much as you do of Edmondson because of the similar background).
Seems to me that it is a worthwhile appointment with a long and settled coaching contract with NZF rather than take a chance with Waikato FC post. A change of scenery is a good idea and a new challenge. He already knows what it required as Waikato FC coach and he would no doubt expect the NZF appointment as being much better with traveling and sharing coaching ideas with his peers and better job security.
Like Jag has said, it's a no-brainer.
Always made me wonder why so many men want to work in the womens game???

Think you probably mean gravy train? But if as you say the position is unpaid, how can he be on the gravy train.. not much of a gravy train!!
I get the feeling Edmonson has upset you somehow FUTBOL, did he get a job you wanted by some chance?
been sniggering too........
No change since I played for HBHS/Narras in the late 90s.
Its like a great big Mafia gang but with no God Father.

Look at it this way� Waikato are a long way further ahead than they were at the same time last year.
I think they will have a very competitive back four in Dave Samson, Che Bunce, Charlie Hoyle and former Aldershot pro Jason Chewins. Charlie has come on a lot this season, while I think Samson is one of the most athletic players in New Zealand. Nobody will outrun him.
It�s up front where Waikato are a bit light. Well, a lot light, actually.
And Robinson is a bit raw between the sticks, though showed over winter what a fast developer he is.
So really Waikato most need goalkeeping back-up and a couple of strikers. But the rest of it is on track.
Certainly don�t write Waikato off yet.
nzowl - Buncey only scored 12 goals this season....my mistake you said YOUNG striker.
Looking forward to caTCHING UP WITH WHATS HAPPENING IN THE WAIKATO IF YOU GIVE ME BUNCE'S NUMBER WE WILL INTERVIEW HIM ON THE MILES AND YATESY SHOW WHICH IS NOW NATIONWIDE ON RADIO SORT DONT KNOW YOUR AM NUMBER BETWEEN 1-2PM EVERY TUESDAY ON LOCAL FOOTBALL
New website is up and we will continue to work on it so please PM me with any feedback or just email me directly. It seems the easiest system we have used with regards to updating and eventually I am hoping to fill in every teams squad list in "The Team" section. Currently only the WFC team has been filled out when you click on it in the table.
