Vidmar's Adelaide went okay for a while but then turned quite shark and his record with national sides since then hasn't been great shakes either.
Well, I am actually less worried about his track record with Adelaide than his track record with the younger national sides. Facts escape me but I recall reading scathing articles in Sydney Morning Herald at that time, when his efforts with the youth team were uninspiring.
I am more forgiving about his shyte year with Adelaide, because that was when they were in AFC league after his good year before. I did not think they actually had the squad to cope with both campaigns at the same time.
I am writing this off the top of my head, so someone with more time and worse insomnia can correct me if I got my facts wrong..
