did he really? Source/citation please. Even if he wants to do so, would be foolish to say so and take away potential leverage in contract negotiations

Don't know if Kosta should be included in this, he's out of contract and may be already out the door in his mind. Hughes instead maybe, as representative of the many kids on longer deals

If I was Dome, I'd be calling in senior Kiwi players Barba, Payne & Rufer for a little meeting this week. They will all be off on AWs duty next week. 

Get their open confidential views on what is going wrong, what needs to be done, Chiefy as a coach etc etc.

Then after the Sydney game this weekend, the Nix have a 2 week break. So once Chiefy is back from Sydney he sits down with Dome (maybe Rob Morrison as well), and Italiano needs to build a case why he should stay on as coach. What's going to happen to turn this shipwreck around.


Kosta has said he intends to retire here, so unless there is a massive offer from AFC or one of the Aussie clubs I cant see him leaving.

It was a comment he made when he signed for us, cant remember where it was recorded,.

Not that it really matter as he has an option to be extedned for anohter year which I'd expect either he or the club will put into effect.
