I think Moss going might be a blessing for us- we are going to have to make a completely new team with a new leadership group. Moss and Dura have been with us for ages. They shouldn't be there in two years time. It may be good that Moss is going and forcing us to look to the future.
There are a lot of good keepers in the A-league and NZ. We should be able to find a decent keeper IMO.
This is going to change the dynamic of the squad.
Moss is great and I hope he gets some really good paydays so he has something in the bank for all this service he's put in.
But having a different keeper will change the relationship with the defense and team and kick off a bit of a fresh start.
So you think we get a new manager that Moss and Dura should still be the senior players? For how many more years do you see that lasting? These guys have been the leaders and senior players in some weak efforts by the team over quite some time now, as well as the reasonable year too. It's amusing that these guys are leaders, but no one here questions their leadership while blaming fairly much everyone else.
This came out a bit harsher than I meant.
I meant it that the new manager will want to build a new squad. Both Moss and Dura have been great servants, but were in the first or second squad 9 or 10 years ago, and aren't going to be there for that much longer.
Well he may or may not be part of a poisoned culture.
However, waaay back in the beginning I guess I was trying to make a virtue out of a necessity. But we've had essentially two coaches for the 'Nix and I'd say about 4 separate eras of teams. Not to put too fine a point on it, but we're hoping a glorious number 5 is coming hurtling into view and possibly may be being forced on us by not retaining players or coaches.
We got really lucky with Dura- young title winner keen to come here and be our club captain. And by lucky Pignata a fair bit I believe.
We need a bit of vision for the next ten years. Cos we're scrapping for our club as much as for any table spots.
