I think the Nix are asking for dispensation to hire Greenie. He hasnt got the required license because FFA are tinkering with the thing and Greenie is on the waiting list. Hire Greenie.....
You 'think' based on... ? IIRC, a good number of people who go for these licenses don't get them first time. Worst case: Greenie gets the top job with some kind of FFA dispensation - subject to him getting his license during the season. What happens if he doesn't get it? Where would that leave us? We might be safer with Sherman in the top job, with Greenie as his assistant. That would be less pressure on Greenie, and might be more workable. Greenie would also be working with one of the most qualified coaches in Australasia who could help him through any exams/testing.
Really tough for NZ coaches in the A-League with the new rules.
