Surely not. They are 3 points off the top 6. Brisbane just need to bring in some better imports. The A-League is the sort of competition teams don't dominate. You have a good year and then you fall back into the pack and get ready to go again.
That is pretty much on the money. Remember that MV let go of Ernie because the team did not win the championship the following season? I am pleased the Roar do not have the same stupid attitude. If we do not win the toilet seat I won't be blaming Ernie - in this league there are always other factors at play.
In contrast, when early on Melb Victory thrashed Adelaide in the grand Final (I think 5:1?) Kosmina resigned as Adelaide coach, such was the shock. That doesn't mean Adelaide were bad. It became a one-sided game when Adelaide (and Kosmina) became demoralised, when they were trailing 3:0 well before halftime. The clash of Kossie with Muscat was hilarious.
