At the very least we have plenty of time to find a new coach for the next two seasons. I hope we find an external hire and bring in someone with fresh ideas. If we're short on cash then the NPL Victoria could be a place to scout, it's basically the highest level of football outside the A-League and Pro league.

Also I'll never forget the 23/24 season and the memories that came with it. While everything after wasn't great you can never take away the fact that he gave us the best season the Nix ever had.
