The Great 2016/17 Coaching Saga

Thats just swapping one anti Nix manager for another.  AW's recruitment be like:

NZF: "Do you dislike the Nix?"

RT: "Yes"

NZF: "Welcome Aboard"

Nothing rhymes with Darije Kalezic, obv.

If Kalezic is pronounced 'Kally - Zitch' there's a chance of being creative! 

bitch, ditch, witch, stitch, itch, Ned Zelic etc. 

Until the appointment is officially announced, the only Khaleesi I want to see is this one:

Does he speak english? 

Football is a universal language

:P

Henrik Larsson anyone?

Pronounced here, about 6 seconds in 

Reckon it works quite well to QOTSA's Burn The Witch...

*THUMP THUMP* Kalezic, duh duh duh duh duh duh...

Think you should have said his name is pronounced between 0 and 49 seconds. I'm none the wiser for that spiel 

( synonyms:

speech, patter, (sales) pitch, blurb, talk; )

Had the same thought, reckon you could do a cool call and response thing

Cheers bud. Collective effort me thinks <3

COYN

Big Sam leaves Crystal Palace "Summer Holidays"

But we arent under threat of relegation... or are we??

Anyone have any more details about what Rallis said in his rant about Ramon? More interesting to me than the NIx ending themselves by going European.

He is also quoted as saying he no longer wants to manage a football team. Sounds like a perfect fit really

So it looks like everyone knows whom the new guy is

I just hope the wellnix were not drawing out the signing for two weeks so they could save some wages

Adapting:

Oi Polloi - Don't Burn The Witch

"No don't burn the witch
 Windburn for Kalezic"

Quickly followed by "Krishna's on fire".

Hmmm, may need some work.

doubt NZ \ Oz would provide enough "consulting" opportunities for him to be interested

Rumours abound, that Darije Kalezic is about to become the Head Coach at my very own Wellington Phoenix! I don't recall his magnificent reign at Edgeley Park, so, could the more enlightened amongst you describe his coaching & man management style!!!!!

Cheers from NZ

A man who undoubtedly knows his onions about the game (coached the Belgian league winners, and Ajax), but not a bean about fifth tier English football.

English was his fourth language. Struck me as a decent bloke, shafted by the charlatans running the football club at the time. Wrong man, wrong club, wrong time; but probably a decent coach.

And definitely a coach, rather than a manager. So a bit of a culture shock at a club where the manager has to arrange transfers and negotiate pay deals, sort out players’ domestic problems, deal with the press, make sandwiches and arrange the bus travel (and that was when we were a full time side)

  Yeah, probably worth noting that by that stage we were essentially an unmanageable/unmanaged/mismanaged mess.

  I would say it is impossible to say whether he was any good or not on the basis that any one of the greatest managers of all time would have looked like an absolute chump dropped into our club at that point. His appointment was stupid, but that wasn’t his fault.

Tune! Played a show with them when I lived in Bristol. Lovely lot. 

So now that the worst kept secret is pretty much out of the bag, I wonder when all the formalities will be met as in immigration and work permit etc. Anyone on trade me trying to buy a TV or couch or bed?

This looks promising, no?

I'm still very skeptical it's him given we are all basing this on a tinpot radio show hosted by agents with axes to grind. 

For sure but it makes more sense than any other name. And wild speculation and half baked  rumours are necessary to maintain sanity during the dark winter months

Am I reading too much into it or are Daniel McHardy and Jason Pine intimating it's him in this thread? 

https://twitter.com/pineyzb/status/866915376616980...

But it only makes sense because of what SST said? Wild speculation is what this is, but some are starting to treat it like it's fact...

Dura's comments about people being excited once we find out who it is don't really make sense if it's Kalezic, do they?

Well, it makes sense in that it's a realistic target, who is out of a job, has links to the A League, and has shown a willingness to work outside Europe. Not like Wolf or Di Matteo or Moyes or any of that BS

Who would make people excited that we could get? Dura is always positive - that's probably part of his job.

Small Sam just resigned from Palace. Perhaps he likes our lifestyle?

Except on the pitch.

I would be positive with any change of scene after the last lot

Not really - we're just bored witless

I thought they were. And I thought McKenzie saying it on One News had to be based on something more than 'Swiss-Bosnian mentioned on podcast-YFers google'.

Shots fired.

I'm about as underwhelmed as if Watson was our marquee. Lol, he will probably turn the club around and achieve giddy heights, who the hell knows.

Well we've had two head coaches (and a couple of interims) and they've both achieved a few decent things. If we're going to have a third we expect him to have some decent skills and bring something to the party. I'm excited tbh. 

Sign coach. Announce signings. Have balanced squad. Play some awesome pre-season fixtures. Rip the heck out of the A-league next season! Beat Ernie and Mossy's Jets 3 times too.
