History for Blew.2

Ibrom was always very much the junior coach at APFA in Chch (precursor to nix academy). Brazilian Giovani Feranades was the coach all the players loved and admired - but he didn't make the move. When APFA transformed into Nix Academy Ibrom was still not given the top job - that went to (at the time) NZF's Andy Hedge and his salary was funded 50% by NZF. With Temple now in and Hedge demoted (anyone able to confirm this?) and Ibrom gone, do we really have the best youth coaches leading the Nix academy? Maybe, but plenty here will have other views. Likewise the nix academy does not have a monopoly on nz's best young players either. I think the academy is a great thing for shop window purposes but i'm just urging the more one eyed amongst us to remain objective when the nix academy spin machine cranks out its media releases.
