Hope he doesn't leave, but you would think Des, Danny and Greenie would be towards the top of the list if he does.

You'd think with the amount of investment the Nix have made into Greenacre he'd be the main candidate, and it would be a snub if they didn't bring him in. They even said the reason he was brought back to the academy system was to give him more head coaching experience.
Well given Danny Hay apparently had to do mediation because of things he did/said to the Future Ferns staff, I'm going to say it's unlikely the Nix will go anywhere near him.
A bit early in the piece for these types of discussions. Season still a month and a half away from starting. And from there who known's what's going to go down.
It really is a long off season !!

That is confirmed as Hay and not another member of AWs coaching staff?
His name is Postecoglou, not Pot!
My fault. Should have used Ange Pote, that's often the shortened version of his name used here in Aussie. The land of abridged names.
No different to folks calling ex AW Themistoklis Tzimopoulos - Themi for short.
Fine coach Ange. Big fan of his.

Not officially. But a review of the campaign by an external party is not the norm. Report due after the Socceroos games, which I think is quite telling in of itself.

I've been told it was him. Even if it wasn't, he's the boss so he's responsible.

Okay fair enough. I'm ambivalent on whole is Hay a better coach than Buckingham or vice versa agrument. Though agree for sure, the latter was treated shabbily by NZF.
But 2nd Best you would clearly have Des's babies if that was physically possible!! He's obviously a mate after his years in NZ.
I'd just be disappointed, sad even - if these Hay rumours were true, and lots of dirty laundry gets aired once the review is completed. If so, yet again NZ Football shoots itself in the foot, when otherwise there is a lot of positive news about the sport, especially this group of young talented AWs going forward.
If Ufuk would like to run for the Upper Hutt city council, he'll get my vote. This guy seems to bring the best out of most of his players. Total respect. Although coaches themselves, like to test and push their own limits to see how far they can go and be successful. I'm praying Ufuk sees the Nix as an unfinished project of his own and sticks around until we at least win a grand final. I like his interviews where he speaks with honesty and sincerity. It's "Team Ufuk" for me!

As long as Uffie sees out his contract then I'm happy. This season will be key to whether Dome and the owners want to extend/offer a new one - I'd expect they'd be keen to keep him on, but a change is nothing to worry about as long as it's the right one.

What will be a challenge if Uffie does go, is which of the players and assistant coaches he takes with him.

Surely your first choice replacement is Chiefy with Greenacre assistant. If you can’t do that then you start looking further afield.

Of course, no guarantee Italiano stays if Talay goes, considering they joined together and assistants often follow head coaches.

Opportunity to be head coach is the #1 reason assistant coaches part company with head coaches.
At the practice today, he could be heard giving out the instructions. Under Ricki, he did and said little. Luci Trana took the training. Under Ernie, he was pretty quiet. Ufuk is a real, get involved coach. I like that, he leave you in no doubt. Oh and he still has the ball skills.

This is interesting, Uffie talks pretty openly about being interested in the All Whites job. Also discusses doing both Phoenix and AWs roles at once.

Yep, he says no discussions have occurred but then said (when asked how it would work) "we'll find out" then corrects himself so it's clear he's thinking about applying.
I don't know what WelNix would think, I guess if there wasn't much overlap, but IIRC they weren't keen on doing it again after Herbert.

“It would only work if there are no games in the early competition.”
I actually don't hate the idea of him doing both jobs. He will have a great insight into the Nix based players, it may benefit the nix and all whites having a similar playing style. I don't actually think it was bad having Ricki doing both.
If this is what it would take to cap a by then 35 year old David Ball in the All whites jersey I'm all about it.

If this is the case - Welnix need to swallow any pride/hard feelings to do with NZF and let Uffie do both jobs if he wants to. He's earned that license and has a good coaching team around him.

Holy heck hadn't even considered this. Could be a winner right there.
Alright that's it everyone put aside the Des Buckingham return fantasies. This I'd the horse I'm backing. MAKE IT HAPPEN NZF!
