If Arnie takes up the SFC job it will finish him in this country - firstly, it is the poison chalice. The best local coaches - Branko, Farina, Kossie, Crooky have all been turned into basketcases at Sydney. Success came from foreign coaches.
Add to that, ADP will have some sort of influence whether it be on the coaching staff or not.
It is a cultural thing - Arnie won't take shit from anyone and that in itself would put doubts on his future if they have one of their bad patches.
A miserable prick coaching a bunch of useless pricks.
Match made in heaven IMO.

Great news
And we sacked half our coaching staff for him :rof:
Middleby'd :grin:
if we sign bridges, i will not renew my membership
and will be enjoying gary fishes wings at the tenz while watching it on tv.
Bridges or Zane then as the awesome coaching staff we have interviewed, right?Quote:

Apart from that bloke in Malaysia who no one had ever heard of before (and he already rejected us).

Deans had been earmarked as the next head coach by the club after Gary took over. The players loved him and he had worked with the club for a long time. Again, why the sudden change in attitude towards him?
Most important question now is - who are we bringing in to replace these people? I highly doubt the club has even considered anyone other than Arnold's boys.
Purely a guess, but the name Phil Stubbins hasn't been mentioned on here for a long time..
Yeah, I do think that they'd have still gone. Timing wasn't great and lead to presumptions about bringing in Arnie - i'll give you that. We've been stagnant for a long time so let's clear the decks.Quote:

Sometimes hard decisions have to be made and whether the players liked him or not, if he's part of why they aren't delivering on their targets or goals set then he should go.
The club openly said our goal is to make the Top 6. The employees they assigned to achieve that failed. Goal set, goal not met.
No it hasn't. I wonder what he's up to...Quote:

I love Jones personally, but as the head coach I have some issues:
- I see him having similar issues to Zane in terms of attracting players
- I'm led to believe he's been pretty unsuccessful with the CCM Academy stuff he's been doing. I'm not sure if there is a base to my thinking here, it's just what I'm led to believe and I haven't bothered to research further
- I have doubts over how much Zane would learn from him over the course of a few years in this whole "let's make Zane our future head coach"
But in saying that, he's local, used to be loved by the players and was around during our successful spell, has a head on him that I think would see him attempt to sign good players regardless of age etc, as opposed to the fluffing about like GVE did, etc.
Why no luv for Mark Jones ? I don't know him personally, but from what I've seem at NYL, W-League, and State League games he seems to support the club at all levels.Quote:

I actually want the surprise aspect of the club to announce we have signed x and then go **** we done good there
I won't go in to it (as I've been warned about saying things publicly on here about him before)..Quote:

But but Arnie’s a done deal, Flores is going to be our marquee, we sacked all those coaches.
I doubt he was ever really serious, we were just the fall back option. Bloke thought SFC would make their decision quicker than us, until they indicated otherwise, looks like he’s shot himself in the foot though. Will be so pleased to see SFC appoint Osieck or some other OS coach and Arnold can be left with nothing.
Would Miron Bleiberg be a good candidate?
coaching discussion to the other thread please
sack bridges
Yeah, let's feed the chickens.Quote:

I think in "coach contract" talk that translates to the "player injury" talk timeframe of 6-8 weeks.Quote:

Inb4 "dream come true for you innit"
Love all the assumptions on here the last week or so....the facts are the Jets have talked to some candidates (one is Zane) and then talked to Arnold when he became available and never said he was the prime candidate.
Now the assumptions by the forum and the Herald are....coaching staff sacked in prep for Arnie, multi year deal offered, agreement to let him take on the All Whites job, Flores coming as marquee, Leicester City buying the club, Griff will sign on for Arnie blah, blah, blah.
The Jets haven't released any of this information, so we cannot be sure that any of the above is true.
I have some thoughts (of course, not based on fact)
The coach will not be Arnold - my gut feeling is that his head isn't right and he has no real idea what he wants to do, hence the holiday.
It won't be Bridgey - he isn't qualified, end of.
It won't be Zane - too inexperienced and if he was staying they would not have sacked the other staff who he knows well.
Next week is gonna be fun !
