kiwis. coach and squad. Can you argue that? nup. Engagment was through the roof!!
Good luck to this fella...he's worked hard. I hope it works.
Just doesn't have me tuning in anymore than the last flop.

The idea that the Nix had good attendance in the early days because of a Kiwi coach and players is a load of rubbish. We had good attendance with Merrick at first and it fell off because of poor performance. Either way, I assume you just want to focus on the Ricki era, but even Ricki had shark attendance in the 12/13 season. What's the common denominator? Shark performance. Also who was the club's goalscoring superstar back then again? A Bajan. You seem to reckon the casual fans didn't care about Ifill because he wasn't a Kiwi.
And somehow you're calling Talay a flop, despite him stats-wise being the best coach we've had ever. If he's a flop, what does that make everyone else? The club's in the most stable place it's ever been, yet you still have to find something to whinge and whine about.
There's a bit of history re-writing going on here. Under Herbert we were much more interested in signing Australian journeymen rather than playing young Kiwi's.
