Good luck to the guy! Dome taken the cheap option!
If he does the business in this mediocre comp then fair play. Do i think he will be an improvement? no. Time will tell.

Are you ever actually happy with anything the nix do? Surely this is a good sign that the club has the skills to develop their own coaching and recruitng people after 15+ years in the league. Who would you have preferred if not Cheify?
Personally i would've gone for a Danny Hay (who was about to be assistant of Sydney before All Whites appt). Potentially Sam Wilkinson or a Jose Figueira or some one more local. This new fellas inexperienced and i guess so are my choices but i think the Nix have missed an opportunity to connect to the wider fan base, especially the National League. If the womens side is happy to promote and develop a kiwi then why havent the men? just a thought anyway.
Do any of Hay, Wilkinson or Figueira possess the required badges? It's a very very small group of 'Kiwis' (incl UK expats like Greenacre) that do.
Would love to know what others think? Football in this country relies on connections in my opinion.
