that's a bit unfair, you know Ahmad doesn't live in Wellington. This is also a forumfor discussion and he was inviting such.

At a guess, would say that comment was directed at Tonyas "nix like the vatican" comment

That's a bit unfair.  Pretty sure Tonya isn't a cardinal for the left footers.

Yep. 10 seasons, 8 finals, 5 titles. Not a bad record at all. Has an A license too.

John Gould is completely mental as a coach - have you seen his touchline antics? The FFA would be able to fund ADP on his fine money alone. Bobby was a motivator more than a coach.

So this shit just got really real.

Gotta say I am already finding hilarious the comments from Hay, Woodcock etc that the Nix need to conduct a "worldwide" search.

Given recent abject failures by other, far better resourced, A-League clubs than ours to do exactly that, we all know it ain't gonna happen.

Every assistant coach in the A-League is updating his CV as we speak.

This.  It's either going to be an Aussie, or an existing A Legaue assistant coach.

My vote goes to Miron. Club needs some energy and he seems like the kind of guy to bring that.

Thankfully coach selection is not a democracy. Keith Moon had energy but I would not have wanted him coaching the Nix

Worse record than Ricki, and only time he has had any sort of success was with Clive Palmers cheque book.

If we are going to recycle A-League coaches, Kossie would be best choice, just ahead of Merrick. But would rather none of them.

Tactically, Miron is just as inept as Ricki is. His press conferences would be good, but no thanks.

Jesus wept, the quality of some of the candidates being seriously discussed here is depressing. I thought we sacked Ricki because we were sick of being shit? Unfortunately it may reflect the reality of our predicament though.

The coach will need time to get some of the players he needs to play the style of football the public are demanding. Good quality play with a result at the end of it.

 Look around NZ bloody hope they do a bit more than that.Not overly confident about them doing the right thing the number of foot in the mouth moments this season show they dont seem to realise running a football club is a very different beast than what they are used to.

Hope they take on board some decent advisors but the problem they have is there are that many in NZ who have their own bloody agendas

I really worry what we may end up with and more importantly if they will be appointed in time to really do something about the squad.

actually think this is the right time to get a foreign coach.

no local standouts for me. we want someone who has coached a fluid passing team and believes in that type of style.

I think if you take away Gareths Batshit craziness you will find some considered and reasonable men at Welnix.  Now that Gareth seems to have been muzzled from talking football, we can start seeing some sense from them. They are not footballing genius, but they are not stupid.

There is no need to panic but there is a degree of urgency. To start recruiting players for next season you want a new coach established as soon as possible. Main reason why I supported initiating this before the season has finished.

I would have no problem with Merrick but would make me LOL with how he completely contradicts the push to play more attractive football.

I do agree but from what i have read they seem to think that they can turn the Phoenix into a sustainable club and to me that does show some stupidity..Its their naivety in this that worries me they seem to think because they have been succesful in business that can then translate into turning the club around.

As you and most others are aware that just aint going to happen there have been many with a lot more money than them who havnt be able to do it.They also want to do this while not really spending on the playing group but rely on youth development which is going to take according to them 3/5 years.I really worry about just what direction we will be taking as im sure a new coach will want something concrete and not just pie in the sky statements.Or is the new coach going to be on the cheap and a 3/5 year plan as well.(God i miss those smilies)

 Brendan Telfer/Gareth Morgan co-coaching! I would pay to watch that reality show, though it would screw the club.

Got depressed by this in the Worthington article:

Given Herbert is set to stay at the club in some capacity, Neil Emblen leaps out as an obvious candidate.

It could lose less money than it does now by being more successful and it's culture being obvious on and off the field as it was thinking back to the first season- Daniel, Felipe, Tim Brown, Smeltz. Loyalty (ok Smeltzy, but still) which is a good concept for making money, solid effort, class and flair.

You would think he is the next cab off the rank for the AWs job, so not surprising his name would be first thrown into the hat.
