Having Des might help recruitment of All Whites on the fringes of clubs as he is now in that set up?
I personally like the way he wanted us to play with Greenie and would like to see them build on that - they should at least have knowledge of who locally is worth a shot, more so than someone from the middle of Europe etc.
His potential hiring is different to what it was - where are in an even weaker position to negotiate and to attract and need to be realistic about this.
May also know some out of contract fringe Stoke players, or guys at say Championship level worth a punt. Find Nix the next Ifill!
