Melbourne Victory's amazingly successful "worldwide search" makes me realise how lucky we are to have Ricki Herbert here in Wellington. To be honest I don't think we need some flash-harry from overseas anyway. In a salary-capped league as long as you keep plugging away eventually you're going to win a championship. Better to have long-term continuity I reckon.
Anyway, that brings me back on topic. I predict that the Phoenix will win the league THIS SEASON. Sounds CRAZY I know, but I can back this up with SCIENCE!
In the history of the A-League the average finishing position of the champions in the season before they win the league is 6th. Where did the Phoenix finish last season? That's right, 6th.
...and now you're gonna believe meeeeeee, we're gonna win the league.
well with a club demanding that muscat will be the assistant who would accept that
