Yes he has past experience at some levels (ASB Prem & assistant to AWs was it?) which would make him an option but I think he lacks the experience. Regarding Springs, if we're referring to purely the coaching side of things then it's a step backward for him. The standard of Div2 football is so poor. A Prem coaching gig maybe I could understand.
Agreed doing something is better than nothing but I could think of much better options than the one he has taken.
I don't think he's the guy for the job, at the moment.
I think the Springs job is more than just a coaching gig, which might have been the attraction, and I'm sure he's getting well paid for it. It might well be the only option that was available at the moment. I completely agree though, I don't think he has the experience at the moment to step up to A League level. Problem is, I'm not sure many people in NZ do, to be honest.
Surprised, or maybe not, that Chris Milicich's name hasn't been thrown into the hat
