Ricki Herbert resigns

I think most of us are judging him on the attack this year (seeing as he's in charge of it apparently) and we haven't exactly been putting heaps in the back of the net. But you're right, without Ricki he might be amazing?

Good contribution. 

Do people believe me & my sources now?

Thanks Ricki for taking the team 1 game from the grand final, the 6-0 win over GCU and Paul Ifill.  I've not been pleased with your efforts this season. But appreciate your passion for the club and committment (when not being paid).  Could have waited till the end of the season for this to happen, but hopefully the team can pull together.

Chris Greenacres Yellow Army doesn't have the same ring :(

Pot/kettle?

What the hell did I do to be called a twunt, Cossy? :(

isn't a twunt a good thing? it sounds like a baby marsupial  

board advisor to the technical board advisor's board

Thanks for the good times Ricki. You coached your heart out pal. 

Bring on Miron! 

 They're going to put him in an office with a read-only internet connection and a phone that doesn't work.

Doloras - pull your head in.

 "Twunt!" is an expression of frustration when your employer locks you in an office with a read-only internet access and a phone that does not work.  :-)

07 retro ricki now a collectors item....

That rumour was bouncing around the Zone on Sunday 24 hours before your big revelation.

 It really is like a kindergarten around here sometimes.

you called him a twunt! yet you claim you abhor nastiness... eye dun geddit 

Yeah, agreed we hven't been scoring many but we've been getting in positions to. Attacking coach will be coaching them on how to get into scoring positions, which we have been. The actual finishing needs more one on one coaching.

Nobody knows how good or bad a coach he is, except the players. He's only gonna be coach till the end of the season anyway, I expect.

Ricki to take media manager role?

Cool. Might put mine on TradeMe then  :-)

Fair play to Shabba. I for one called bullshit on it and I stand corrected. Interesting though, I have not yet read anywhere yet that has quoyed anything other than the good old "reliable sauces".

My comment still stands with regards to what sort of agent would tell this to  someone who told someone else!

Pot/Kettle/Twunt?

Good on ya, cheers for the inside word. People come here for stuff like that, its a shame those "in the know" didn't give you a chance. 

so far piney is the most "credible" source. but he did lose some with his cernak report

^^ This. All of this.

Sorry for calling Shabba a twunt. But I reiterate that I didn't discredit his story to start with.

Ricki's role as Football Technical Advisor to the Board sounds like Terry's role as Honourary Founding Patron i.e. a role in name only. I wouldn't worry about him exerting too much influence on the new coach, if he takes the role at all.

Sad day really. Love him or hate him he's such a huge part of the Phoenix. I suspect he'll be missed in lots of ways that we haven't even really thought about.

But yays, we finally get to jump aboard the international coaching merry-go-round. I look forward to the club burning through half a dozen B-grade Aussies over the next 8 years.

#thanksricki

If Piney says it, I believe it.

Be careful what you say.... Doom Post on a cut and paste mission this morning!!!
