I agree, with gve said to be sacked, we could see an improved brown and Goodwin not just because gve isn't there but also playing for new contract here or anywhere, that goes for the rest of the team ofcourseQuote:

Yeah I was just thinking this morning, why has Goodwin not had a run at LB recently, I know he maybe did a little earlier in the season? But it's obvious Gallaway hasn't really been performing that well, Goodwin is actually a LB by trade, well he was until coming here. Also we would actually suit having over-lapping wing-backs.
If we re-sign Kew and Goody, we'll only have 6 spots left on our roster (5 if Ox is counted) - not really gonna be the new managers squad!
He can always terminate contracts
Yes - but they are still paid out under the salary cap....no room to get new players.Quote:

Quick decisions for this type of thing are not ideal but I hope they have someone lined up by finals timeQuote:

If the club terminates it then yes. If it's a "mutual agreement" (aka technically there's no severance package, even though clubs give it to them on the sly), then the cap space is free. Ange Postecoglu was a genius at swindling the "mutual agreement" type deal. The FFA bend over for Victory & Sydney to allow them to keep the cap space, but other clubs find it harder to do so (what's that about)Quote:

Unless the new person is tied up until the close of season, and hence can't take the position now.Quote:

So happy to go with Zane for the rest of the season?
Don't get me wrong I wanted Gary to go, never rated him to be honest, you can find heaps of threads on here with me complaining about his terrible team selection and formation, misuse of Heskey etc.
I would have much rather had someone lined up ready to slot straight in prior to sacking GvE. Again things must have been even worse behind the scenes with players / management and GvE for him to get the flick with no-one ready to step in.
Edit: I'm playing devils advocate as much as anythign
lol, look at the gala line up. sneijder, muslera, melo. the got out of the champions league group stage ahead of juve.Quote:

The last time we made the Finals - Season 5, 2010.
