Kurtz: poor reputation
Kewell: too expensive
Deans: lacks authority/management aptitude
McBreen: lacks qualifications
GVE: Not good enough and completely clueless
Stubbins: poor coach (but thinks he's amazing)
Muscat: uninterested
Eriksson: lulz
Definitely a better description...
This has got to be the most underwhelming coach-replacement saga we've had.
No rumours, no wild names (apart from Sven), very little speculation in the media.
BORING!
Time to go foreign I reckon. Look at someone that has been an assistant or under 23 manager at a Premier League Club.
Not sure what local coaches could be even considered a better local coach then Ernie? Paul Okon would be the only Australian guy that I would be considering.
I'd be satisfied if Lawrie appointed John Hutchinson as Manager with Nick Mrdja named as his assistant.
Andre Gumprecht as Youth Coach

Captain coach role.
Reports of Carl Robinson suggest Lawrie and Joel thinking foreign like I previous suggested.
We have just gone through a truckload of local coaches Stubbins, Miller, Jones and Merrick if you include him. Apart from one good year we have done nothing in that time.
Time for change, If it's Robinson then so be it. He appears a good candidate although he used alot of 4-4-2 in his final years at Vancouver, I can't see that working at the Jets.
He did appear to use 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3 in his early days at Vancouver so he obviously is flexible with his systems. I have a feeling there could be an English manager in the final frame as well.
as long as he doesn't bring Bernie Ibini with him probably not the worst option to try, but anyone is going to struggle in the job unless we bring a few more quality players in, would any coach in the a-league get our current squad, injuries warts and all etc., out of the bottom half of the table?
Very good point, Any coach would have struggled if they had a team without their overseas main signing, their no1 and NO2 strikers plus their centre back. That's why I thought Ernie was a little bit harshly treated.
With funds available, we need to grab a player who can make a difference. I wonder who else is in the final list of 6 outside Robinson? Another Welsh manager possibly?
