Wow!
So thats that! Close this thread down, there is nothing to debate. Herbert will coach next season.
So here are the facts as I see them
1, Ricki when asked last week .....do you see yourself as coach of the Nix next season,replied...Absolutely
2, Ricki is on contract for another two seasons
3, Welnix can't afford to move Ricki to Director of Football
4, We can assume Welnix won't
and pay him out, for financial reasons(probably noticed Rini Coolin taking Adelaide FC to court asking for a few million compensation for early dismissal)
Wow!
So Ricki comes out absolute winner.....heads I win tails you lose
No pressure to win anything this year, no blame on him if we don't. It seems a large chunk of the sports media and probably the public think we are dead last because the owners have "forced" him into playing a style they are unfamiliar with
.Ricki has already stated that the new "plan" will take 3 to 5 years to implement and we will be in "transition" (god I hate that phrase) during this period. So no pressure to win anything next season either.
Wow!
I think I'd better mull this overnight or I might say something now I might regret later.....
Except this......the owners should bail out of the style change request....right NOW. Let Ricki coach the side how he wants and he gets rated on results. No hiding behind "they made me change what we were good at before"
