with Ange stepping down after this World Cup campaign - who are the likely replacements?

there's been precious little talk in the media - possibly because it's over a year away

will Graham Arnold 2.0 be an option or did the FFA get burnt last time?

should we go for another Dutch journeyman with no tactical or media nouse?

will whoever we get be able to corral the bunch of jerks we have in the national team set up into a competetive team?

Indifferent news.
I think he has equipped the players with a different mindset and playing style which they can keep in their arsenal when needed.
I think he could have been more pragmatic and this whole intercontinental playoff should have been avoided easily as the reigning champions of Asia.
There’s a time to experiment with formations and tactics, I’m not sure that it should have jeopardised our qualification.
Hindsight will show us whether he was being stubborn unneccessarily or whether he actually got more out of us than another coach would have.
If we go for anybody from the a league, I’ll be severely worried.

I have thoughts:

Ange was a patsy put up by the double-eff-aye to get to WC the hard way to maximise TV and gate money.

How you think they pay to get the toilet seat polished every year?

It’s been a money grab from the start and now that Ange knows where the bodies are buried he’ll be posted to London or New York as an overseas ambassador like all good recipients of the graft.

I don’t know or care who the new coach will be but all I want McKinna to be in charge of the recruitment and I’m betting the new coaches name starts with ‘A’.

There are too many Gypos in the Aussie team so expect a terrible showing at the World Cup and all of the soaps and shampoos to get nicked from the team hotel.

Precisely right

The last bloke left him with shit as far as an experienced squad goes

Basically he had blokes over the hill who needed pensions off

Bloke done that making the tough calls on Schwarzer Neill etc

In the meantime he had to find a new squad and get caps into new inexperienced players

He has done this

He has won us an Asian Cup
He has qualified us for a WC
He also had us perform admirably at WC 2014
He also had us perform admirably at the Confeds Cup in 2017

Statistically with our record in WCQ we should have qualified automatically

We were just unlucky to lose out on GD
We then proceeded to get the job done in the playoffs

So exactly what ****s are complaining about beats me

To me this is the potential for a good thing here if our new manager has some cajones to shake things up

Ange has been too reliant on some players and others need a look in


Goodwin
Taggart
Mabil
Etc

Let's shake shit up and find some more threats in attack as Juric and a 38 year old who can't get a start in the HAL can't be all we have

At the moment the Aust team has a bunch of dudes in mids that "on their day" can have blinders. Luongo, Troisi, Milligan, Mooy and Rogic have all had good days.

Problem is they have had plenty of ordinary ones as well. The isnt even one consistently good (let alone great) player in the centre of the park.

and yeah add that to the fact we have no decent options up front.

Ange performed a miracle of sorts. Hes had enough of the crap spewed at him by idiots who wouldnt put themselves in his shoes in a million years.

i hope he goes to a really good club and gets paid a shitload of cash and he enjoys the hell out if it. he deserves it and whatever bozo they put in to replace him better be ready for whats coming.

Its amazing how much people's view points change. I totally agree with the member. Coaching a NT is entirely different to club level. It isn't just a case of go out and recruit someone who fits a system. Ange stated at the beginning he was following models set out by countries such as Germany. He needed to increase the players pool size. He then gave them alternate formations and structures to deal with different situations. He's dramatically reduced the average age of the NT whilst increasing the exposure and caps these guys have received. He's put us in a much stronger position for the future. Someone had to make these decisions. We were going downhill and fast when he took over. I for one and glad we had someone like him to steady the ship and steer us through a period of transition.

To be fair he wasn't the worst at Man U

Have a look at how big a job it is to turn them good again

Even Mourinhio hasn't nailed it yet

I backing he will get there but it taking a lot longer than he envisaged

Well now we know why he wasn't hearing any offers.

Is now free to take up the New Zealand job he was using as a red herring the other week.


Former Caltex Socceroos Mark Bresciano, Stan Lazaridis and Mark Schwarzer are among a panel of experts who will advise Football Federation Australia (FFA) on the appointment of a new Head Coach for the Caltex Socceroos that will be contesting the FIFA World Cup in Russia next year.

That was never going to end well - Bresh refused to shake hands with Arnie last time around and I don't think the other two have much time for him either.

god spare us the bloke that does get the job though. Bosnich and Slater will have the pitchforks out from kickoff in the first game.

Heard that too. However he was apparently forming his "own" national team and filling it with Ninkovic and that Polish dude he believed should be captaining Poland as he's already playing for the greatest club in the world.
Apparently FIFA has declined their "Sydney is really a country" stance and said they may not enter the World Cup. Arnold has been reported as already predicting this and blaming the result on a stomach bug that had ran through his team during the week.
