I don't really pay much attention to anything Ljubo writes on a personal level. I'm more interested in what he has to say about training methodology and tactics. I'll leave the mud slinging shit for the 12 year old girls on Face Book to sort out.Originally Posted by Grimario
The quote you provided suggests there is no book and that Ljubo is just fishing for attention or possibly an offer from a publisher to write a book.

Oh, that's not a quote at all... he just talks about a book on most posts. Lots of "I have more stories about person X but will save them for the book" type stuff.
In that case if the book ever does come around it's not one I'd be interested in reading.
Anyone feel there's a "13 reasons why" vibe going on?

Wanderers have a second marquee, Alvaro Cejudo

Ljubo makes the news in NZ

Hopefully its all just bitterness from Ljubo and none of this is true/ effects the Jets this year.
Ljubo has been pretty much on the money with his comments in the past. So brace yourself for another shit season of Jets football.
capt obs in tha haus
Bert may not be the worst coach in the world but **** me he ain't going to get blood out of a stone trying to turn most of these blokes into footballers
If we can't tolerate 7th this season we going somewhere
has Ljubo *ever* said anything nice about a coach though??
Life isn't the same without Con... but it can only improve without Tinks...
It makes a mockery of the "marquee" concept as it was originally slated. The star attraction has dropped from being a name that a reasonable follower of football knew - Dwight Yorke, Mario Jardel, Craig Moore, Juninho, Robbie Fowler, Del Piero, Heskey, Ono to a guy like this!? Even those who have come here and developed into a marquee player - Berisha and Broich for example.
He's not a marquee. He's a bloke who has an allocated spot as a salary cap excemption - that's all it is.
I think the term needs to change because it isn't a marquee, per se, anymore. The league has moved on.

The term HAS changed. To Designated Player.

You are right - all it is, is an allocated spot as a salary cap exemption.Designated Players – A Club can spend an unlimited amount on two Players (Foreign or Australian) it nominates as Designated Players;
OK
He needs to button it, be a man and move on. There is no doubt he clashed with Ernie (and Muscat who is probably the number one he refers). Shit happens.
But back then he was making all sorts of wild allegations, none really proven, and at the end of it all said "I'm not bitter".
He says Ernie avoids him but he initially asked for his Victory release when Ernie was out of the country.
There you go.
Get your act together, media

Fwiw I don't think the yelling and screaming approach to coaching is where it's at these days but Merrick hasn't really ever been accused of it prior no?
Which means either maybe Ljubo just has problems with the yelly screamy authoritarian figures (not an uncommon occurrence) or Merrick can at lest keep it behind closed doors.
It's also not a bad thing for coaches to evolve over time as well. Hopefully there's a bit of that there.
Ljubos comments are pretty funny based on recent comments by Merrick that there's too many younguns in the squad.
GET THEM TEENAGERS OFF YOUR LAWN ERNIE!!!!!!!!
Ljubo and Mark Jones used to work with the less experienced players in the Jets squad because Branko simply could not be bothered hanging around a second longer than he needed to draw his salary.has Ljubo *ever* said anything nice about a coach though??
From what I've been told by a parent of a former jets player Ljubo and Jones would stay back to help any of the players that needed to work on areas of their game.
So I would say Yes to your question. Ljubo would speak highly of Mark Jones.
Ask yourself this - has Ljubo actually had a crack at anyone that wasn't a dickhead ? Probably not.

Dunster, how do you know these people that ljubo has had a dig at are actual Dickheads? Is ljubo abit soft? Fair enough I get that some people can be over the top and should be called out...
social media is the bane of Society.
Many years experience dealing with dickheads on a daily basis you learn to spot them a mile away from all angles.
It's very rare for anyone to pleasantly surprise me these days.

Just an observation from watching Jets training since Bernie took over I haven't seen him raise his voice in anger or frustration. Will be interesting to see how this goes as the pressure of the season builds.
In fact he's opposite to what I imagined. He's quite funny and quite regularly stops and has a chat with anyone who's still hanging around after training.
