Arnie, you don't live here any more. Stay out of the pantry.

I just hope we get a chance to say sayonara

Says he takes over the job there in January. Hopefully that means he will transition out for the next month. Or at the very least give us a wave.

Dear Arnie

Congrats. And you won't even need to get a new tie!

Trivia - a previous notable Sendai player was Pierre Littbarski.
Arnie may have even played against him in 1997 while playing for Sanfrecce Hiroshima.

Arnie, you will always be a club legend. Thanks for the amazing years, and godspeed.

The man needs a grandstand.

My biggest fear about this is that Arnie will take Clarkey with him. IMO, Clarkey is irreplaceable. Arnie controlled the tactics, but it was Clarke that controlled the players fitness and injury prevention program. Compared to other teams, I reckon we had the least number of injuries last year.... thanks largely to A. Clarke.

I doubt the Japs will be trying to bring in too many of our players or back room staff.

 

[Roy Law]

Interesting that Patrick as assistant is not a given; Mossy to make his own choice; and also a new Technical Director to be appointed.

Central Coast Mariners are planning to honour Arnold for his contribution to the Club at a forthcoming Hyundai A-League fixture at Gosford’s Bluetongue Stadium. More details will be announced over coming weeks.

Tony Walmsley to fill Assistant Coach/TD roles - no disruption to other staff - seamless transition. He's left Sheffield United and was at the game last weekend wtih Turnbull and Charlesworth.

Did he not make the grade in Sheffield? Why is he back so soon?

 

[Ancient Mariner]

Zwanny needs to put in a few hours on the job before he moves up to be an A-league assistant. I have no doubt he will go all the way but ffs give him a chance to learn.

. is this a thought ... or has this been announced?

. i think it may be time to augment the 'back of house'. don't forget that it was only 6 months ago that we lost john mckay and lawrie mckinna (as football director) ... with arnie increasing his duties as a consequence

. when arnie came in (as a more experienced coach) he seems to have had a more established 'back room'. we must be careful not to over-burden mossy ... he has a tough enough task as it is

 

[Big Al]

Didn't Milicivic (I have no idea what his name is) leave Heart after they chose Aloisi over him???

I would think he would be a very good chance of taking over at WSW when Poppa leaves!

Kareem
Ante Milicic - Also former Sydney United - & current 2IC to Poppa - Yeah he would be a strong chance there to.

 

[Lowlander]

is there anything our little club cant do? Now we are exporting quality coaches, CCM, the benchmark of the A league!

Read an article snippet a couple of weeks ago, the gist seemed to be similar to Arnies reasoning when he rejected their approaches a couple of months back. He didn't like their approach to the academy, coaching and playing styles, so he quit.
He said that he was coming back here to a corporate role, not related to football, but that he might return to football one day, if the right opportunity showed up etc. etc... Not sure, but I'm thinking one could be in this...
Also, I noted, watching the game on TV this weekend, that Mossy and Zwanny were holed up in the box together, seemingly discussing tactics while watching the game. Is it normaly for the youth coach to be that involved with the first team? Don't recall ever seeing Walmsley like that, but tbh that could well just be because I wouldn't recognise him if I passed him on the street
Or is it a sign that they were prepping for a 1-2 setup - let the rumours continue!

Zwanny has been up in the stands all home games this year. I've seen him up and down from there before the start and halftime.

 

[nebakke]

Ok, I probably just haven't been paying attention then... Wouldn't be the first time, but don't let the facts get in the way of a good lot of rumour-mongering

 

[VicMariner]

I'm excited to see how Arnie fares in the J-League. See what he can do with a big budget. I will be keeping an eye on the next season, starting in March I think.
Following Arnie's expolits at Vegalta Sendai might be worth it's own thread.
