    Haven't SFC fans had Rudan marked as their next coach after Farina?

    I pretty much agree with everything thomas has said so far. If we're looking at an untried coach, we should be looking at bringing back Papas first and foremost. Second to that is Ante Milicic, only a matter of time before he's given a shot at coaching.


    MFKS is right though, it's always going to be Deans.

    Would be good to have someone like Rado in the mix somewhere.
    Regarding some of the unknowns, it is like being in opposition in politics- you can have a thousand views on what's wrong etc and what you intend to do, but the real skill is getting things right.
    surely no gambles at this stage and go for an experienced type.

    In my opinion radio is the perfect assistant for any manager and always will be. Just think some aren't meant to be the top dog

    It's not about the manager alone it's about the players and staff they can bring to the club. That is why I would only replace GVE with someone already established with their own mix of players and staff ready to follow them.
    There will always be exceptions like Poppa but overall I wouldn't take the risk on anyone without success before in a similar role.

    Like him or not GVE did have two very successful seasons at the Jets which is a lot more than some of the names people are throwing about as being his replacement.

    Don't get me wrong, I'll be glad to see him go if we don't make the finals this season but I don't want to go through all that rebuilding for the future shit again.

    U23 side as well as being involved in some kind of national youth development. And the boss at Dempo SC as well, the biggest of the clubs (or at least the most successful) in India.

    I reckon Papas would be ideal to slide into the role without much in the way of rebuilding required. Huge focus on youth, already has experience in the Aus youth set up as well so probably had some of your youngsters when he was assistant to the U17's a few years back.

    No idea if he is any good, mind you... but in terms of transition, would be less messy than if we brought in someone else.

    Not saying Pappas wont work but...
    Ive had about enough of this focus on Youth sh1t for our 1st team. Lets leave that for say, the youth team.
    gws, who we aspire to, used a load of experienced cast offs, cept sinjy, and did ok.
    Transitions are only messy if we lose.

    ps Grim, hope you found the correct disc golf webpage

    Only mentioned it in relation to The Dunster's concerns about another "rebuild". Already "initiated" in the ways of youth, a bunch of them most likely have experience with him from U17 (or even Goodwin at club level) so less upheaval compared to someone else coming in.

    And for financial stability, I think developing youth is a great move. If we can keep Birraz and extend his contract, it won't be long before he is off to Europe with a fat wad of cash in the Jerks kitty. Same goes for Goodwin, Chapman, Hoole, Beard, Taggart etc etc... until we are packing out the stadium week in week out and we have 4 networks battling over TV rights, it's hands down the best way for the club to make coin. Just need someone in charge who doesn't destroy players like it almost appears has happened with Goodwin

    It's like you wrote that post whilst forgetting that Middleby will be in charge of those transfers.

    Why not Papas, who is doing is coaching the u/23s national team in India? Wasn't he meant to be the next big coach? Or maybe one of our former players, bar Deans, rather than a former Sydney captain?

    Agree about Aloisi. And if we're looking at NSWPL managers, George Mandic had a good season with Bonnyrigg, or how about Jean-Paul de Marigny? Yes, United came 1st this season in the NSWPL, but I would much rather see how Rudan goes over a few more seasons before he gets mentioned. Lavicka won the GF in his first season, and fared poorly the next few.
    Don't know how you could say Sydney Utd were always going to win the NPL. Did not they beat a Tasmanian team in the final. Yes tasmania. i did not know they played football down there.

    Cool

    Please correct me if I am wrong but wasn't there a HAL coach that said "If you listen to the fans then you will be sitting with the fans". After two years of the forumites berating GVE and telling him to play to suit his players we are finally winning games and looking dangerous. Forget these so called managers run the team tyhrough the forum.

    Viva La Forumites

    I take your point, and I know you're not being literal (at least, I hope you're not), but if anybody was to listen to the cacophony from the stands/forum we would have a multitude of problems;

    Neville would have never set foot on the field again after last season, now he is one of our most consistent players,
    Bridges wouldn't know whether he is Arthur or Martha, such is the divided opinion amongst our supporter base,
    Burns would have been sent back to South Korea before the ball had hit the ground off the crossbar.

    Feel free to add to this truncated list
