Herbert to miss two Phoenix games
2007/10/02 6:32 AM
His commitments with the All Whites will keep Ricki Herbert away from the Wellington Phoenix for two matches
All Whites coach Ricki Herbert has made it clear he will miss just two Wellington Phoenix A-League matches while away on international duty.
Herbert's availability for the Phoenix was questioned when he first signed to coach the new club, but he has been quick to clear up the issue when raised again. He says there is a match against Newcastle he will miss and then another against Sydney, but that is all.
Blackburn defender Ryan Nelsen and Celtic's Chris Killen are in the 18-man squad to meet Fiji in World Cup qualifiers later this month. Nelsen has been named in spite of suffering a hamstring injury. Killen is currently preparing to face Italian giants AC Milan in the Champions League this week, before assembling with the All Whites next week.
Waitakere midfielder Jeff Campbell admits his selection in the squad has come as a bit of a surprise. Campbell is one of five New Zealand Football Championship players named in the squad. The 28-year-old played against Wales in May, but was not sure if he would be selected.
Campbell says it is an honour to be selected and although he did play in the last World Cup campaign, he was not expecting to be part of this one.
The squad also features the return of Ivan Vicelich, David Mulligan and Jarrod Smith.

It's no suprise, it's why some suggested him coaching both sides
was an issue, but we all knew it would happen.
That's why they have two assistants in O'Sullivan and Jacobs.

Sully and Jacobs will do a fine job. We have the strenght and
depth as well to cover what we lose

ups and downs of beinf part of having the manager who's got two jobs. I'm personally not concernet at all anyway, as we have a great set of assistants and Ricky knows what he is doing.
I reckon that Ricky being the manager of both the Nix and the
All Whites gives us way more advantages than disadvantages. For a
starter, I don't think all these great players such as Lockhead,
Smelz etcetera would have signed for the Nix unless Ricky was the
coach, so bring it on

Not to mention the non-Kiwi players who were greatly influenced by respect for Ricki. I'm pretty sure that was one of the big reasons Aloisi was quoted on for coming here in the first full90.

This month... come November he'll be in charge of Team Welly so it'll be all O'Sullivan (watch him sneak himself in as a cover player and start in midfield or at Right Back
)
