Agreed but most people are saying they don't like whats on offer for what is remaining of the homegrown prospects. So where does that leave us? I also don't believe that because the past overseas coaches have failed that we put a line through that option altogether . I believe that its more a reflection that when coaches have been selected in the past from overseas they have recruited badly. With the League growing in all aspects it starts to became a better option for overseas coaches, which will encourage better quality coaches to put their hands up.
I think that we all need to be a little more open minded about where our coach is going to come from. Seems to me that we are scared of any home grown Kiwi's, any australian coach that isn't already commited to another team and anyone from overseas. If we introduce all that criteria we have already ruled out everyone, and thats why so many people are saying that there is no one out there to do the job. Well obviously there won't be anyone if we create all these barriers. We need to start being a little more open minded if we do want to replace Herbert.
End of the day the Welnix are going to have to take a gamble of some sorts if they won' to replace Ricki Herbert. We are never going to find the perfect candidate. The perfect candidates end up coaching teams like Melbourne Victory.
I am in the firm belief that there has to be someone out there that can add more to the Phoenix than what Herbert is currently adding. I just don't buy the excuse that there is just no one out there.
