This is the latest on the family situation from the interview today:

MR: Maybe so, maybe not, I don't know. Yes, I have strong relationships with my players, and the people at the football club, and my staff as well, but like I said, they're going to be put on hold. I'm very up front and honest with my players as well, and there are talks going on behind closed doors, with the club. I've heard the club and I'm going to be hearing more from them, but at the same time, I'm putting forward my case. I've made it quite clear and public as well, I did two stories with a journalist in Wellington and I said yesterday take it how you want. I've got a situation, a personal situation that I've got to resolve, and pretty soon as well, I've got two teenage kids who need their dad around, and their dad needs them around as well, but I bought into this and we made a decision. I've also said before if I thought it was going to be this hard, then I probably wouldn't have taken it on. That's reality. At the same time the club also understands that I want a proper project and I want to build on this, I'm not going to sit back and rest on my laurels. If things that have been done in the past continue on that way, then I won't be here. They need to improve, everything needs to improve.

He's having a little dig at his employers here. Whether it's about the state of the facilities, lack of resources in some areas or some general lack of high ambition, ie aiming to win the league. Fair enough. I don't think Welnix will take it personally. They said at the start of the season they wanted a new coach who would come in and be passionate about the club, make some changes, and make people uncomfortable. It's up to them to listen to Rudan, and see if they can match his requests. Even if they do, doesn't mean he'll stay - the whole teenage kids at school thing, is no easy fix - but he'll certainly leave the club in a better position than when he arrived.

Different circumstances, but Hudson also used the media a touch to agrue for more games, more money etc from NZF re the AWs.

Welnix need to agrue at these upcoming NLWG meetings, that NZ based coaches should have same badge requirements as Aussies re coaching an A League side. A Kiwi coach of the Nix, is just likely to hang around longer, and so help make the club more stable.
