yep agreed - look now but if you don't find one before the end of the season i think we just keep RH there - end of the season wave him goodbye, wish him all the best etc. Infact he will probably resign anyway.
wouldn't wave him goodbye
I think with his international network he would be a good scout for the club
and if he's still got the AWs job then a reduced top-up on that salary for a reduced role at the Nix will suit him
seriously what international contacts are you talking about? what great scouting are you referring to? we clearly get the second choice of players offered to other a-league clubs by agents and passed on.
Seriously, you think he has developed no international contacts in his time as AWs coach, through FIFA and in and liaising with NZ footballers at overseas clubs?
With a full-time Nix job and the AWs job I don't think he has been proactive enough in his player hunting for Nix. In a lesser role and with more time he may be a lot more effective at that. For all that I am not a great fan of Ricki as a coach, I don't think you lightly throw away some-one with his experience and doubtless contacts. Soup the title up to Director of Football and give him a few other useful contributions to make at the club to salvage his pride and away you go.
