I mean, Declan sneers at most people it seems - I think that's probably more to do with Rudan building a relationship with him.

That's the beauty of Rudan coming in as a neutral Aussie, with none of the baggage of any previous relationships within NZ football. As he said he was given a lot of information when he first arrived. That would have included some intel on Declan & Ole. He describes himself as curious.

I'm guessing he looked at the situation and said something like, 'I'm coaching one of the smallest clubs in the A League, with a small popn base, and a real lack of recent success - and yet we don't talk with NZ's most well known football academy 30km down the road? An academy maybe run by a mad person, but that is acknowledged as the "best" academy in this small country, with some of the best young football talent in the country?. Give me this mad person's ph number!!' 

Not saying it happened for sure, but comparing the personalities of say Merrick and Rudan though watching interviews etc - think it's far more likely Rudan would try and smash down a few barriers to get results.
