What?
We're not talking about the writing off the season decision (which has proven to be missreported), but the decision to no longer sign kiwis. That may have been Ernies with Darje having another preference which is why the policy has changed.
Yes, but our recruitment for the season was clearly based on a policy of not signing kiwis (reported in the media), Darije now half way through the season says we need to sign more kiwis plus we are releasing a couple of average Aussies in Lowry and Abbas, clearly both signed for that exact reason.
In the meantime several current All Whites who were available have been signed by Anthony Hudson in the MLS.
So why did we take that approach when recruiting for this season without talking to the coach? It's just bad planning!
