Jets in for Stuart Pearce

Gui Amor is who we should be after.
Has won a championship on a moderate budget, has strong links with European contacts, had a tough year with Adelaide but they are playing great football again.
Ball breaking is what assistants are for.
We need a coach that can instill a style of play and recruit players to suit. That's not Merrick imo
Soccer Stoppage time said that we had offered Merrick. However i think there is a hold up in whether he is ready for it, as their are lots of talk about his part-time nature of late as close to retirement.
if it was a certainty then they would have surely announced it by now??

Merrick in and signing of Nathan Burns as Australian Marquee
Can live with the Merrick signing, but still some disappointment that we went for a used a-league coach especially when Adelaide are in the press about chasing Gabriel Batistuta. I wish the club would be more ambitious, it just seems at times that its more about saving some peoples jobs rather than whats best for the club.
Love the idea of Burns returning though.
