I always got the impression that any kid who spent a day in the same city as Wynton at some stage in their life was "a product of the Wynners academy"

If their is any truth in this mornings Dom Post article - other than maybe Wynton to be an ambassador - We are in serious trouble.

Sorry but if Rufer gets the job then i very much doubt if i will be able to maintain my attendance record.Look forward to yellow fever releasing their version of the bible to show their support.Bloody hell can see it already prayers in the zone before kickoff.Welnix go for him and it will really show they have no idea.
Off season for gods sake MODS take control.
I'm very much an atheist, but I respect people's rights to believe what they want. I don't think that his religion is relevant at all in this case.
wynton and shane were able to achieve much more with the kingz than anyone else was able to achieve with the kingz/knights. while they were there, the kingz had a chance and played outstanding footy.
results wise, fallon, dugdale and adshead were shown up completely by the rufers.
wynton's playing record speaks for itself
so is logical that he should be given serious consideration for the role. he is probably the number one kiwi candidate for the job and i'd be delighted if he got it.
but maybe i am one of those rare types who can see beyond petty criticisms of diverse personality
Rufer may be the top kiwi option, but do we really want his approcah to people to be what the nix is known for? FRom what I've read he doesn't strike me as a very personable type of man, sure he may be able to coach/develop players but what about the image of the club?

crazier than miron?
my impressions of rufer are only from what I've read on here for the last 6 years, so this is new territory for me - never paid any attention to the a-league/kingz/knights pre-nix

Grumpy old bastard alert
lots of sweeping statements with no evidence
not disputing at all, as I said I've got no idea, but would love to hear some examples so I can start to form my own opinion
All jokes aside, I've just never thought Rufer's judgement is that great. Remember when he went public slagging off Herbert for not including Stefan Marinovic, Michael Fitzgerald and Andrew Milne in the 2010 World Cup squad? I mean, suggesting those three isn't absolutely, completely mad but neither does it demonstrate a really astutue footballing mind. And before anyone starts ripping into some of Herbert's choices - that's the point. Herbert got sacked. I'm hoping we can do better than that.
Note his obsession with club budgets in that piece as well. How is that relevant to player selection? It's like everything coming out of his mouth you find yourself going "eh?"
On the other hand he'd be great for laughs and column inches.

Interesting what some people in Columbus are reporting.

The unfortunate thing is that in the context of the football and sporting landscape, announcing a search for a coach is not really news
Don't agree, rugby and league often get a lot of media coverage out of it. Why should football be the wallflower? We have to learn to get media coverage where-ever we can in a crowded sporting landscape. This is a big story, use it.
For us in football, yes it's a big deal. For anyone else (and in NZ that's the majority including the scribes) it's a non event. Hence no coverage.

Hope its not Wynton..just dont think he would pull the whole thing together and move the club onwards and upwards..table that is.
A small town in Europe........looking to bounce straight back up....well that aint going to happen

It is nearing the end of April and that is when they said the new manager would be announced.....
We will never fully decide who has won the football.
The end is near with the quality of the applications we have seen here. I'm sure it will be mr Heineken playing off against mr Stein-larger. But then the surprise we all need will appear. Not sure he will please al here though

Sorry, but he tries to justify selecting Marinovic for the WC squad with the logic that "Marinovic plays at a club with a yearly budget of $12 million, the Phoenix's annual budget is about $6 million"

Rufer also has a habit of sticking his nose in areas where he is not welcome.
I have to say that article from TV3 is a big 'what?' How is Milne and Fitzgerald now? I think their performances have proven Ricki right.

Wynton`s record as coach with the Kingz wasn`t that bad !!!!???
Take a good long look at that photo people. That could be Tyler Boyd shaking hands with Wynton after being subbed off next season. Wynton's even got his tracksuit top on!
Leo looks happy about it. Stein's more like "who the fuck is this guy?".
Stein would know who he is. I knew this Swiss chick, who (note is NOT GERMAN and) didn't really follow football she knew who he was.
