This appointment is just an easy ,cheap ,predicable ( did they even look at another coach ?} options with no real ambitions to move forward in another direction and challenge AFC and/or the top 6. Completely agree -just mediocre and it's start at the top for years now. Why making a call so early? This is similar to the AW's- all long time there with no real changes- cliché same old same old - jobs for the boys. They need an independent management with no bias.

I am sorry but this is just nonsense. It is a reasonable appointment of a no-nonsense local coach with proven loyalty to the club who knows the players and the club financial situation. He is neither worse nor better than other people we may find for the job (David Zdrilic anyone? Jean de Marigny? Alen Stajcic?).
To succeed, we will need good players directed by a good coach. I want stability and direction from Greenacre, and good basics; not winning the toilet seat in the first season is not going to turn me off. I expect decent performances; and what we put up against Macarthur was not it.
