Will he move to the DoF position or leave the club altogether.

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.
