I'm just sad at the inevitable demise of the retro ricki shirt :( its probably not even appropriate to wear for the rest of the season
Surely it's just even more retro now?
This. Once crowd numbers are back up in a season or two and some people there don't even remember who he is, the Retro Ricki is going to be golden. Definitely pool room material.

Yay ! So happy today ! Trust me, this is good news. Sometimes you just have to throw away the stale bread.
Well said mate. Can someone ban nufc? Is a pathetic human being. Should have been handled more gracefully; more like Lawrie Mckinna at CCM. Quite obvious that Ricki has been pushed.
a.haak
Strictly on a "he always seemed like a good guy" move, pretty gutted about that one.
Oh relax guys. He still has a job at the club. Just not manager.

I've always guessed about 13.
I've already answered this..... Anyway, sad for Ricki personally I agree. But this is a football club. It happens.
I'm going to have a bit more faith. This has come about due to the alarming drop in both crowds, and obviously, form. The owners had to act (I know it says resigned but seems there might be more to it) and would be ridiculously stupid to think appointing Greenacre would cause an upturn in crowds or form.

Well, according to some, people were staying away in their 1000s until ricki left. So should be a great crowd tomorrow!

A very sad day, but inevitable. If it weren't for Ricki there probably wouldn't even by a 'Nix, but recent form and results show he lost his way. That's not unusual. It is pretty rare for a manager to maintain that magic touch over an extended period of time. I genuinely hope that he is kept at the club in some capacity. Thanks for the good times though Ricki. You have done a hell of a lot for this team, this game and this town.
Thanks Ricki. Integral part of a team that rescued professional football in New Zealand.

So this - i always suspected that Ricki would walk (under pressure) but i don't believe either of the assistants will do any better - I know a lot of people won't think we can get any worse but we can - two words: Kingz, Knights.

I agree.
if we cant find a new coach til june/july, then this will be even more frustrating
I'm personally guttered. I know it is time for ricki to leave, but would have rather he left it til the end of the season. Tell the players and try pick up some points to gain some credibility.
Ricki has been one of, if not the most important person for this club and I hope he gets the respectful farewell he deserves

Really? All the players will be signed up for next season in the last 5 weeks of this season? Me thinks not.

nufc is harmless. Just young.

Not entirely pleased he'll be kept on. Clean break is better IMO.

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.
Maybe Greenacre is very good coach, we don't know yet. There are examples of very good young coaches. He must have some fresh ideas, and I guess he is hungry. Interesting times.

Probably too short notice for tomorrow night but maybe for the final game against Victory - the giant banner with "Thanks Ricki
" on it?
Also an extended chant of "Ricki Herberts Yellow Army" with everyone saying the Ricki Herbert part.
