I'm getting the feeling you think we need a new coach?
I just want to see the Nix win lots of games and make a grand final....if Rickie can do that then thats fine with me.
However there seems to be a groundswell of opinion that thinks he can't.....and I'm starting to think that too!
Exactly. Ricky had no option to carry his core squad though to this year, They guts it out last year really well. He had the salary cap to work within to add more pieces for his brand of football. If it works, and they kickon from here, fantastic. However it has to be last chance saloon. The Nix support, buzz, call it what you want is dying though total fraustration of no accountability. A real football club would make the change quickly if we don't go close to making grand final. I think the development of NZ players is a great idea, but honestly, the people out there who used to come to games that attracted 10-15 thousand, don't give a stuff about that. They just want the Phoenix to reach and win a GF. And smart import midfield signings will help them achieve that. Plus get the buzz back. While it was better last sunday, they looked like a side with its 2 top midfield players missing.
