Geeeezzzzz..... please not Fowler or Kewell
Bring in a coach who we trust for 2 years minimum.
We need to stick by somebody for longer than a season.
That said, if you can't make the finals in league that rewards mediocrity almost as much as AFL does with a point for trying, then some questions need to be asked. Review things, and make a decision on whether progress has been made.
Really, should still be better than CCM and Wellington.
We are fighting it out with Adelaide, Perth and wanderers for 2 finals spots. That's the level we can expect to be at next year with a few signings and a coach that can well...coach.
If we can reach the finals, i dare say that will please a lot of people, and is a reasonable expectation. Wanderers sucked big time this year and managed to make the finals with a few wins in the last 10 games.
I don't really have a preference who. But finals should be a pass mark for season 1 and 2 in charge. Anything less is a fail and should be reviewed. Another 2 years without finals and I honestly think the club could fold. Supporters have had enough. Lee had a 3 year plan for ACL and if he spends millions and still can't make the top 60% I think he could just take his money and run.
