Danny Hay announced as assistant coach.



Corica and Hay, so much for exciting football. 

If you took the Nix blinkers off, the way Italiano has the team setup this year ain't that exciting for neutrals either. Especially away from home. Remember the early game at AAMI Park without a shot on goal. The team are a lowly 9th for total goals scored this season, and well down the list for total shots. It's a game plan built off defensive solidity.

But in the history of the Nix it's been a superb season. Winning is the most important thing.


That's kiwi football though: Ferns, AWs, Nix all boring as f**k in front of goal if not playing a minnow. Mind you not many of us care about that around here as long as those teams actually win (only really the Nix in that category though).

Hay might be a great No2, could well be his level as I think he's a good motivator although it does seem to be his way or the highway (for him).
 
He was though a bang average Manager who played Pijnaker over Boxall and Woud over anyone who could catch a ball on numerous occasions, so not a good judge of talent (the Boxall decision costing us a WC place).

With this signing can expect to see Mata and Pijnaker in Auckland in a few months time?

What is Neil Emblin up to these days?  He was the last exciting manager the AWs had.
