^ this


would've perhaps been laughable if we'd appointed our assistant after all of that


edit: when i said '^ this' I was referring to F.Mac's post

I'm not necessarily saying it was laughable - but the fans of other clubs will probably chuckle at us in similar ways we have when they have picked up coaches

 That Midfielder fellow from the Salty Dogs has already posted on this thread saying that they'll be busting their holes laughing at us if we pick up an MVFC reject as coach.

    Fingers still crossed for a Phoenix curveball. Kept the secret so well until now.

     Okay, my bet: they announce Merrick, then the guy in the Nixie suit walks in and yells "AU CONTRAIRE MON FRÈRE!", punches Merrick out, then removes his head to reveal...

    a) Coppell

    b) Ricki

    c) ANOTHER EVEN BIGGER CHICKEN

    When the announcement is made can we start two new threads to discuss it - one for optimists and one for pessimists.

    I'll be in the optimists thread.

    They should be playing clips from old Rocky movies on that stream to build a sense of excitement.

    Actually, they should be playing highlights from last season so when Merrick is announced we're all like "fucking yes! Anything is better than going through that shit again".

    I'm a bit underwhelmed. Not terribly angsty, it could definitely have been worse, but it's not blowing my socks off.

    Will give him the benefit of the doubt now though, and hope he gets stuck in straight away making signings/re-signings etc. I can't wait for a proper off-season with a coach 100% devoted to the Nix.

    I must say this whole process has been pretty good. They seem to have been thorough and done a lot of due diligence. They've kept it as good a secret as could reasonably be expected short of Merrick having plastic surgery and the livestreamed announcement plus the fan forum tonight are nice touches.

     Welnix have given up. This is the triumph of saving bucks over actually wanting to win the league.


    Of course I'm not going to stop following but this is deeply, deeply disappointing. Once again the Nix are going to be "also rans" struggling to catch up with the Aussie clubs, and voices will be raised as to "why are we sheltering these useless Kiwis?"


    Of course, JV, I could be wrong. I've said my piece and I hope to be proved wrong.

    The Fan Forum might be a FFA thing (without FFA). Same thing tonight in Perth.

    Tonights Fan Forum is very different to the ones being run by the FFA, this is purely run by the Nix. Same concept though.

    Cool, he hasn't even had a game yet and you've written him off. Who cares if the MV supporters think it's funny? I personally don't know a single MV fan so I can't say I'll be terribly affected by this.
