[OmeletteDuFromage]

not sure if it was a g-up, but two different blokes over the weekend threw the one and only Craig Johnson into the mix.

Goes against the same reasoning as to why Fowler and Kewell are not in contention.

Merrick confirmed

Should be announced this afternoon

Now lets hope he can get straight down to business and bring in some quality.

i would also like him to maybe bring in his own support staff, but most probably it will all remain as is.

"World wide" search ends with the guy sacked from one of the worst teams in the A-league.

Hope he's successful though.

Hey I'm rooting for him as hard as anyone is. It will be a devastating blow to the club if he's not successful.
I'm just not optimistic.

I'm thinking Steve Kean. There is a striker on the Jets books that won't have a bar of Merrick and vice versa!

[Roundball Enthusiast]

Fox Sports saying 2 horse race, Merrick and Steve Kean.

Kean saying money not an issue?

Is it really confirmed confirmed, or just tomato sauce confirmed?

Any more in this? Kinda not sure who we are talking about

[matty]

O caravan v's Manny Muscat headbutt incident, pretty sure merrick had a few choice words to say about a certain striker

[halo se7en]

I can only assume O'Donovan. Wasn't it against Wellington when he head butted Muscat or something? Memory is hazy.
