Yes and yes. I especially love the rewriting of history where Merrick's teams somehow played bad football as opposed to the reality where they played the competition's best and most attacking football. Most racist shit out tbh.

Aussie coach Papas signs for I-League giants

By Kathy Stone
May 27 2013 20:17

RISING Aussie coach Arthur Papas has been snapped up by five-time Indian champions, Dempo SC.

It is understood the club will officially announce a three-year deal with the former Victorian Premier League Coach of the Year within the next 48 hours.
Papas will move from his base in Calcutta to north Goa where he’ll be responsible for rejuvenating the aging squad which finished a disappointing fifth last season.

The ambitious 32-year-old revealed he’s planning a raid on the A-League ranks to provide the requisite on-field experience for the young players brought in.

Simon Colosimo (Melbourne Heart), Dani Sanchez (Wellington Phoenix) and former Perth Glory striker Billy Mehmet, who has terminated his contract with Bangkok Glass, are among those in his sights.

Papas has enjoyed a successful 12-month introduction to football on the subcontinent since being head-hunted by former Australia Technical Director Rob Baan who took up a similar role in India.

He has won high praise for his work with the youth development squad Pailan Arrows and the nation’s U22 squad, and picked up a nomination for Indian Coach of the Year (awarded to Pune FC’s Derrick Pereira).

But after attracting interest from the I-League’s top clubs the former Newcastle Jets assistant coach says he’s delighted at the prospect of taking the reins at one of the true giants of Indian football.

“Dempo is a really big club in India – it’s one of the most successful clubs in the I-league but they haven’t rejuvenated the club,” he told au.fourfourtwo.com.

“I wanted to get back into club coaching and this club is in a really interesting position. The biggest thing right now is just to assess the squad and bring down to the average age not only for next season but for the seasons ahead as well.

“A lot of (the team) are former international players who’ve been very good for their country but the reality is it’s hard to achieve with an aging squad when you’re playing in such hot conditions.

“The chairman wants me to bring in younger players and lift the professionalism of the whole club.”

The Whites have been crowned I-League champions three times (most recently in 2011-12) and took out the forerunner National Football League twice, but last season saw the family-owned club produce its worst finish in seven years.

Papas says there will be greater investment in the club’s youth set-up but concedes the foreign veterans he’s targeting won’t do much to lower the age of his squad.

“They’re not young but the thing is my Indian players will be and they need to right kind of experienced players around them,” he said.

“If all goes well some of the young players who are in my U22 and Arrows team will come across. I’ll probably look for between four or five players. The main thing is not to bring all of them across because then they don’t all get to play and that’s not doing them any service.”

Alwyn George, the Football Players’ Association of India Young Player of the Year, has already flagged his hope of following Papas if he can engineer a way out of his contract with the Arrows.

“I have learned many a thing from him,” the 21-year-old told goal.com. “He has been a great guide and has helped me on and off the field whenever I faced any problem. I look forward to having him again as my coach sometime in future.”

Papas has been back in his home town of Melbourne for the past two weeks and depending on the format for the new season, which is under review, may not return to India until the second week of July. Then it’s all systems go.

“I’m off the bus which has been travelling nicely and back on the roller coaster of first team football again,” he said. “It’s going to be a good challenge but I’m up for it to be honest.”

i wonder if gve went to a different club how many of his kids would openly state they want to get out of their contract somehow to follow him

This is a genuine question, BTW, not a dig/pisstake.

the year he was the youth coach here in the state league. I went to all his games and i am of the opinion that he has both the man management and tactical attributes.

one game in particular standouts (now i know this is a youth game but it was still impressive to what he did). They were playing hamilton olympic and olympic had obviously made the decision that they were going to muscle them out of the game and for 60 minutes they did that and were leading comfortably 1-0.

to compound matters he had jacob pepper sent off. Papas immediately when this happened called connor chapman over, had about a 30 second chat with him, put him straight in the middle of the park and changed the formation around. 30 minutes later youth won 3-1, some of the best coaching i'd ever seen tbh.

also the blokes storyline is very "newy".

i could find the article, but its along the lines of he went to the AIS asked for a job and they laughed at him and told him that he was way off the minimum required standards. 4 years later he had a degree, highest coaching badges, took a VPL side to a GF, etc.

If they wanted to take a risk on someone when they went with stubbins they should have picked this bloke because his football apprenticeship has been excellent plus he now has 3 years experience in another culture.

All of the coaches mentioned.....Rudan, Mulvey, Okon, Vidmar,Aloisi etc. have a bit of a profile and I would say that most people involved in football in Newcastle would have heard of probably all of them. In contrast if you were to mention Pappas, most people would probably think of local gun in the Youth team Reece Pappas. Don't think many would recall that he was the Youth coach here for a few months over 3-4 years ago and has spent time in India working for their fledgling Federation.
I think we need to consider all options but lets face it a coach with a "big name" like Okon or Mulvey for eg. is always going to be able to attract bigger names in the initial stages of our clubs reconstruction than someone like Pappas.
Unless someone can convince me otherwise I think Pappas would be a massive gamble which this club can ill afford to take

Mulvey I don't want. Had a go, didn't do so well. Same for aloisi.

Vidmar, maybe, did reasonably well in adelaide, and may just give the townsfolk of newcastle a new moniker.

Okon, like the newy connection, I'm assuming he's got the relevant tickets and been doing some coaching, so he would probably be my preferred option, with rudan second.

Rudan seems to be well spoken of as a coach. I'll tolerate his "smug git" persona as long as he's winning. First loss and I'll be starting the "rudan out" thread.

My money is on rudan.

Arthur Papas has resigned as head coach of Indian I-League side Dempo SC with the former Jets and Heart assistant coach set to return to Australia.


The 35-year-old AFC Pro-License Holder enjoyed a three-year expedition in India.

This also included being an assistant to Brazilian legend Zico at FC Goa in the recently completed inaugural season of the Indian Super League.

“I wish to thank Mr. Shrinivas Dempo, support staff and the players for the time I’ve enjoyed at Dempo SC, and wish the Club continued success for the rest of the season and beyond,” said Papas.

“The decision to leave has not been an easy, and it’s one I made one month ago solely for personal reasons.

“I’ve had a remarkable journey in India in a number of varied and challenging roles. It’s been a great learning experience for me both in a football sense and more broadly as a life experience.

“I’ve made many lifelong friendships here and I will forever keep a keen eye on the progress of football in the region.”

Papas’ journey on the subcontinent began with the All India Football Federation in 2012, at the invitation of former Football Federation Australia technical boss Rob Baan.

The former Newcastle Jets Assistant and AIS Scholarship Coach was charged with a restructure of India’s youth development programs, before graduating to dual roles with the nation’s Olympic team and Pailan Arrows – the national youth team that competed in the top flight I-League.

Papas’ efforts with the Arrows saw him nominated for coach of the year honors, despite being the youngest ever manager in league history.

India’s under-22 team achieved its best ever results on the Asian stage under Papas’ tutelage.

The 2011 Victorian Premier League Coach of the Year joined Goa-based Dempo SC in 2013 and in that period guided the Club to a top four in the league as well as reaching the semi-finals and finals of the Federation Cup in 2014 and 2015 respectively.

During his two-year stint with Dempo, Papas identified and nurtured a host of young domestic talent, with as many as 11 players selected as part of India’s national team setups.

“I’ve had a hectic few years, and I’m looking forward to some down time before I take up my next football challenge,” said Papas.

3 team or 4 team consortium?

Good to see Deans knows he’s way out of his depth, but also the cynic in me says what’s the chances of Papas doing good then signing for west Sydney when Robbo gets sacked?

I do hope this season doesn’t cloud the fact that for all his faults Deans has stuck by the club and been there when we needed and a lot of us here where happy to see him get a chance this season. He’s proven he isn’t up to the standard as full
time coach and that’s fine.

I mean even the fact we are planning for next season is better than what Deans had.

How can you sign a player even for the season if you’re not sure you will exist in a weeks time.
I feel for Deans. I don’t think it was a fair or reasonable assessment of his ability. That said, some aspects such as selection and tactics can be questioned. Good on him/club for making a call early. Can focus on planning for next year

A fresh face may provide some objectivity to selections and links to improve the squad.

Serious question, Why ?.

Are you expecting us to go after Antonio Conte or something?

We need to try and do something to keep us afloat long enough for new owners to invest. Papas won't demand massive wages and has enough behind him (J1 title as assistant, a season as a J3 head coach where he won as many games as he lost and his CV is full of other decent appointments). Someone needs to take a chance on him and we have absolutely nothing to lose by signing him. We have a large number of spots to fill in our roster and no big contracts to hold us back outside of maybe NTS and Roy.

He has knowledge of the Japanese leagues and would also know more about other Asian leagues in general than most at our club right now. If these overlords we have are being honest about investing in the club next season, they would be more likely to sanction moves to appease that Asian Federation and try to fix some of the issues the league just created by walking away from this season's comp so late.

Sorry Gaz, but we all know from experience that you don't cut it. Papas may be an unknown as far as coaching in the A League, but considering our current predicament and appeal, rolling the dice on a cheap unknown is a smarter option than going back to what we know doesn't work.

Just expecting the club to find the best candidate it can for the budget it sets aside for the next coaches wage. Just saying Papas in appears a too narrowed approach.

I tend to agree, Every time the coaching position comes up then Papas gets mentioned as first option. So he worked under Ange, so did Scott Miller.

All I'm saying I hope they just don't rush into signing Papas without looking at all options.

I'm excited by the Papas appointment overall. With his experience and links I think we will have a coach that can attract a strong calibre of player to the team.

I am just as concerned when the time comes to sign any o/seas players and Mattiske has to run it by the other club owners. The pessimist in me thinks if we find a hidden gem somebody like Lederer will make sure they go to the WSW after our blokes do the grunt work.

I know it’s sold as “the football operations remain confidential and up to the administrators of the club” so maybe any player within the cap is kind of up to us, but I imagine anything over that is subject to review.

The only stat that matters is the gypo +/- coefficient equation.has he signed more gypos than he has cut.

Can a stat man please find this pit for all coaches. Actually don't ill just make some numbers up to suit my argument.
One point for cutting a gypo, minus one for signing one of the filth.
