    Well, If we qualify he can say he qualified us through 2 playoffs. I’d give him the World Cup to see out his tenure if I was a neutral.
    If he doesn’t qualify he resigns and that’s that.

    This just too convenient to be playing out this way if it not done on purpose

    At the moment the entire focus is on Ange Postecoglou and the players are off scot free

    As for any argument that Ange's future may be distracting the players. They playing for a trip to a World Cup I pretty certain they be able to focus on the task at hand v Honduras when it roles around

    This just smells like a cooked up story that done to keep the siege mentality going

    Some bloke got fined 100k at the Euros for dropping his shorts a fraction to show the label of his underwear

    I never heard of this company that Timmy is plugging but if Timmy gets 100 K fine then I sure they will cough up the 100k

    The publicity and free advertising they getting out of this is worth more than 100k

    Anyone see the interview with Ange and Peadick yesterday??

    30 odd mins at a football function

    Ange is more or less happy and relaxed about the speculation about his future

    Just listening to him talking about the Honduras game and things he don't sound like he going to walk if we win in November

    It almost seemed like Ange was quite happy for the bullshit shit storm of media about him to continue for a month like it was actually organised

    Not only that for a bloke who is under the pump in the media etc he didn't seem too fussed and seemed remarkably relaxed and self assured

    I was interested in his body language etc and I think he feels quite confident of getting the job done in November

    Didn't see the interview, but read a quote - something along the lines of "at least nobody is talking about the back 3 anymore..."

    What utter tripe. Another cop out IMHO

    theres no reason for Ange to be stressed.
    clubs everywhere lining up to sign him regardless of the result aparantly.
    hes a bloke now choosing what situation and cash is best for him.

    hes the only one sitting in the audience at an Oprah taping knowing shes about to start giving away cars.

    good on him.

    If we lose, he will resign or be sacked.
    If we win, he will take us to the World Cup.

    So you believe everything you read but not aware of the context it was said etc ??

    Ok

    Ange just showed he couldn't give a **** about people speculating shit about him

    Good on him for actually not buying into it

    I don't buy that his scripted response is anything but damage control.

    You correctly point out I don't know the context fully, but I can't be bothered so I'll plead ignorance

    For the record, I don't care what he does with his career, go off somewhere, earn squillions.

    I think he hitched his horse to the wrong wagon (3 at the back and playing absolutely boring, trying-not-to-lose football) but I guess there's honour in going down with the ship, rather than mending the leak?

    Damage Control??


    The bloke hasn't given a flying **** about the speculation for over a week

    Even now he couldn't really give a **** about it

    Don't forget this is still a rumour and not a fact alleged by a journo

    The bloke concerned hasn't given two ****s about the rumour damaging his teams qualification campaign, the FFA have also barely given a flying **** about it costing us a WC spot which is bizarre as they hitch the code onto the back of WC Qualification the only thing they have done was offer a press release acknowledging the rumour and none of the Socceroos players have been seen in the media talking about the situation at all

    Other than two bit media pundits and social media fans blowing up this rumour to epic proportions this story isn't going anywhere

    Davutovic broke the “rumour”. He is usually pretty accurate.

    Anyway, it’s whatever. You can blindly follow someone if you wish.

    Sounds enticing!

    Box2Box allay any fears for potential supporters though.

    Mentions supporters might be coming back with the players on the charter!

    ???

    It a 3rd world country in a tropical area it pretty much the norm for anyone travelling

    Same thing was in effect in Brazil for the WC

    There you even had to get Yellow Fever shots as they won't let you back into Australia without them

    Plus most of that stuff is the usual scare mongering to tourists that goes on to any exotic destination

    I would feel safer in Honduras than I would in the UK or USA to be fair . Besides the T word being an issue the gun nuts and other wack jobs in the UK and USA are a bigger threat than some 3rd world street urchin

    I spent a few days in Honduras after the 2014 World Cup, can't say I even felt unsafe when I was there but this was mainly in the "touristy" parts (Copan, Roatan Island).

    Probably went through San Pedro Sula on the drive from Copan to the Atlantic Coast to catch the ferry out to Roatan. Even on that drive I can't remember anything too sketchy. However, the tour I was on did fly from Roatan to Tegucigalpa as there had been a few hijackings/murders on a particular stretch of road between the two...

    Good news guys

    Not only is Leckie suspended for the away game he currently injured and racing the clock with a thigh complaint to be back for the second leg

    Could be just what we need

    I like this because it forces Ange's hand to hopefully try an 'unknown'. Someone like Goodwin in the mix might be an X Factor that Honduras won't have a clue about or have done their homework on.

    Then again..it's Ange the sauce bottle we're talking about.
