Comes across a little patrionising, "At the start of the season it was pretty clear even from our own fans had we finished 8th or 9th would have been an improvement on last season and seasons gone by. I mean what we have done is raised expectations of the football club with our fans; all the pundits and experts at the start of the year said we would be finishing wooden spoons...put things into context, we're sitting fourth, Wellington Phoenix!"
Finishing 9th would not have been an improvement and we last got the wooden spoon 6 years ago. We're not going to have our best ever regular season. If we don't pick up 3 more points this will be our 4th best regular season.
Yeh the 'lil old Wellington Phoenix' thing was a wrong note.
The ego was fine while he was our coach! Super defensive interview. Not the straight up and down talk of before.
