    A salary cap and its corrupt exemptions are a farce anyway but scrapping it ensures that well have a Scottish premiership.
    Agreed. It's not the cap that is the issue. It's the influence of the larger / cashed up teams upon the regulator to change the rules to unbalance the smaller less cashed up clubs.

    What's needed is a firm set of rules that can only be changed if all clubs agree. Currently it's a case of Sydney FC and the Melbourne clubs getting whatever they ask for without any consideration for the smaller less cashed up clubs.

    I think he was meant to be returning to Perth.

    Is this just a cost cutting exercise?

    No I do not think so...As the theory goes as every A League club has now its own junior set up (at least the youth league playing in off season in NPL) then there is no need for the FFA centre of excellence, as the players selected to go there would now be playing for their respective clubs etc etc.

    Goes to show that
    A) Merrick's appointment would be an unnispiring choice
    B) He would probably be better than what we have had for the last 3 years.
    C) Wellington have managed to sign better players than ours and they live in a country that was saved from destruction by Hobbits during the War of the Rings.

    Wellington have notoriously struggled for consistent form but at their best could match it with anyone on their day.

    The article, which was a good read, illustrated merrick's ability to come in and change the fortunes of the side around. His first 2 seasons at Wellington had strikingly similar characteristics to his first 2 at Melbourne. Just that travel logistics and NZ politics undoubtedly had a major telling on his downfall in his 3Rd season.

    I wouldn't be overly surprised if merrick has been in the background at the jets for sometime now. Perhaps even calling the shots on some of the player signings.

    Merrick is proven at A-League level and for the most part appears to exhibit good man management traits (barring barbarouses fallout- anyone got the goss there?).

    Merrick is an experienced operator and enjoyed success at the league's most successful club for a good portion of time.

    Merrick would be a safe choice and would be a name that would attract the "cream of the crop".

    SAME SAME AS US.

    HIS FIRST SEASON AT VICTREE HE FAILED EPICLY SAME WITH HIS 3rd EPICLY.
    TO BE FAIR MERRICK SHOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH BETTER AT VICTREE CONSIDERING HIS PLAYING ROSTER AND CLUB BEING WELL RUN BEHIND HIM

    IF HE HAS HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH OUR CLUB IN THE BACKGROUND THAT IS A BIG CONCERN. JONES HAS BEEN WHITE ANTED BY THE PLAYERS. MERRICK BEING INVOLVED MEANS HE HAS BEEN ALSO WHITEANTED BY THE CEO AND OWNER

    Merrick is proven at A-League level and for the most part appears to exhibit good man management traits (barring barbarouses fallout- anyone got the goss there?).
    THE BLOKE IS GOING TO NEED TO BE A MAGICIAN NOT HAVE GOOD MAN MANAGEMENT SKILLS TO SORT OUR MESS OUT

    Merrick is an experienced operator and enjoyed success at the league's most successful club for a good portion of time.
    SO HAS KEVIN MUSCAT _ DOESNT MAKE HIM A GREAT MANAGER THOUGH DOES IT??

    Merrick would be a safe choice and would be a name that would attract the "cream of the crop".
    OBVIOUSLY NOT THE REAL CREAM JUST THE CREAM MUCH BETTER THAN WE GET
    Not going to matter much anyway when the club white ants him in 12 months time as he doesn't achieve instant results with shit footballers

    Its not about istant reults and its about showing your improving the squad and that the players in the squad are getting better as a team or individualy. Jones did neither. Didnt make the 6 and had excuse after excuse. He is gone time to hope the New coach can do better. Sadly Jones has set the bar really low as Stubbins did for Miller

    Doesn't matter

    We will not go anywhere regardless until the owner shows patience and gets the club sorted from top to bottom Mourinhio couldn't save us

    As if Merrick will do much with an Assistant like Zane

    Patience is fine if it is the Right manager. Jones is not/never was

    Fox girls Tara and Amy both scrub up as class acts. From the short glimpses McLaren's looked very nice.
