Can't be too bad a bloke then if players want to come and play here lol.
Let me make it clear. Their coach is extremely passionate about the club. Every club wishes they had blokes that passionate it does help them be more proactive and ambitious. The money they spend helps convince blokes to come so let?s not confuse that for playing for the coach or shirt. If the coach got sacked and they still got paid they aren?t following the coach.
I also don?t have a problem that they pay players that?s their own choice and will help them rise quicker. But just admit you pay per game etc and not just pay a few rego?s. People would respect the honesty cause everyone knows players and they talk.
As for the coach with that playing roster they should walk the comp each year so far and they haven?t. My personal view is if they had a coach that has more experience and has coached at a higher level so has seen more they would be even stronger. I don?t think I?m the only one that thinks that. Again only my opinion and from some things I?ve heard.
I also respect Croatia the fact they back him but the higher they go the better tactically the coaches will get and my belief is that he may of taken them as far as he can. They have jumped 2 divisions in 3 years.
The comp should be competitive and strong next year will be interesting to see the next team promoted
