Replaced with who?

I've still yet to see one person name a viable alternative, particularly from anyone who has advocated Ricki should be replaced.


Exactly.... It is bloody easy to mouth off and scream , but there is no one within a hundred miles of him on the local scene and little in the way of other viable and realistic alternatives. 

With the greatest respect I very much doubt that there is NO viable alternative to Ricki. A full time gig as an A-League head coach would be a highly desirable position for loads of ambitious coaches.  I would image there would be ex head A-League coaches who might have a go at it. In addition there are probably quite a few experianced assistant A-League coaches and guys with experiance at age grade levels who might foot the bill.The unknown variable is how much they would want to pay. But the bottom line is until you advertise you do not know what is out there.
If you use the logic that there are no viable alternatives to Ricki then are you saying its his job for the rest of his working life?
The fact that no one has named an viable alternative is more a reflection of not knowing who is available. To say that every prospective potential coach is inferior to the incumbent does not make sense.


Exactly right - this is a ridiculous straw man argument


If you want Ricki to stay defend his record or explain why it would be good for the club
