Just wondering what Mick is up to now that he has lost the job at Team Wellington to Stu Jacobs. Not sure if this is the right Forum or whether it should be in the NZFC/OCL page. Put it in here because there are a lot of Wellington footie fans posting here. Mick is a good coach but seems to have suffered from not all the best players being available for TW.

He's still employed by Capital Soccer which was his full time gig anyway.  He's been spotted watching Phoenix Trainings as well.

 Never coached me, but had the pleasure of meeting him on numerous occassions outside of footy.Top bloke.

ditto that

Yep, a good guy. You can't please everyone as a coach but he does a good job for CS. Hope he's around for a while yet.

Keep it clean lads...don't want to have to delete any more posts

Come on dean, that wasnt bad!!!

Mick's a good football man, let's leave it at that!!

And you should see him on the squash court!!

Do you want to repost in a more acceptable manner, Uncle Steve. Interested in what you said that upset james dean. Unless of course it's out of order/unwarranted. Your (or james deans') call.

great that waite was not retained as team wellington coach. he did his dash and did not get the results! with the players available they were under achievers. i do not rate him highly. he is good with the youth thats about it!!

There are a lot of coaches around with this issue. From personal experience I think it is not possible to Coach across all age groups successfully, for many different reasons. How common is it that you see a good youth coach struggle with seniors or vice versa?
