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.Quote:

Neville out of WSW....Where will he end up?...(Don't want him)...
I think he was meant to be returning to Perth.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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".
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 footballersQuote:

As if Merrick will do much with an Assistant like Zane
Patience is fine if it is the Right manager. Jones is not/never wasQuote:
