He signed a 2 year deal, with the option of a further 2 years on "football related matters". I'm of the opinion that it is time for a change. Six seasons is an eternity in football, unless you get results like Sir Alex. He will soon be the longest serving coach in A-League history, passing Ernie Merrick.

Yes a change of manager could back fire but we won't know unless we try. And no I don't have someone to suggest as a replacement, it isn't my job to find a replacement. It would be up to the club to find someone they felt could provide the style of football they wish to play.

Rather than a director of football, I wonder if Ricki could be on the board and consult on the football related matters? I'm not sure we are big enough to warrent a director role, especially when we were advertising for someone to manage the FSE around the country.

 

Auckland City's Catalan coach Ramon Tribulietx is on record saying ACFC needs to be a professional club which of course flies in the face of the reality of NZ's domestic national league. I can only read this as a desire to manage something more than a part-time local team so how about he take over from Ricki?

You can go for a reduced version of the Barcelona possession style under him and ACFC can return to being a no-nonsense decent national league outfit.

If Ramon applies for it, the import quota should be told to him in the application so he knows heading into it :)


To be fair, I think he plays too much of a possession game that invariably goes more laterally than forward. Can he change from his tactics? The other Premiership teams have figured it out, can't the A League too?

I would wholeheartedly endorse him as an assistant. I have heard his tactical analysis is up there with the best which perhaps the Phoenix may be light on.
