Time for Greenacre to leave the nest and go and prove himself somewhere else. He should try and get a gig as head coach at NZ premier level. See if he has got what it takes to be a head coach. He has had his chance" at the Nix.....and the results have been mixed. It is time for a clean out....we have allowed mediocrity to become the norm at this club. 

I hope the new coaches put a bomb under the club and players. I am sick of the lame " hope we make the top six"" attitude. I hope these new guys come with a strong sense of the tactics and style of football they want to play to be succesful. If some of the players don't like it.....tough. Find players who will bust their arse every game. My support for this club is wavering. I will support them 100% if they put in the effort in every week...despite the results. But I'm not interested if they just continue not to turn up. 

I agree.  As a guy Greenacre seems smart and a good fella but he does have to bear some part of where we are today.  Would Buckingham want to go back to being the goalkeeping coach?

 

If you're the new head coach do you want the unsuccessful applicant for the head coach job as your keeper coach? I doubt it.

Out with the old, in with the new.

I do not think this is necessarily the case here from the perspective of the head coach, and Rado would also understand someone who wants to stay at the club after an unsuccessful head coach stint.

On the other hand I would agree that Des might be backing himself to coach a team and eventually go somewhere else, probably back in UK.  It would be hard for him to get an equivalent gig here (well, there aren't any) or in Australia (where continental coaches are preferred to English ones).

Which is a shame because Des has skills and ability the club would benefit from, but obviously not enough to succeed as head coach as yet.

I heard today that Kalezic and Vidosic is actually happening!! I'd love to know where that leaves Buckingham and Greenacre. Greenacre is very engrained in the club, wife also has a job at the club.

It'd be interesting to know too if the new gaffer has some reasonable coin to spend on some good new signings.

Buckingham could still be the goal keeping coach with the Nix but guessing we might have to find an academy role for Greenacre, if he wants to stay.

I think you are correct here.
