New coach - now we know

[Huddo]

I heard a whisper it’s likely to be a foreigner.

Benny Cahn is foreign.

 

[Wombat]

Was the '.....' protecting our sensitive ears because you really wanted to say "Pommy bastards" :]

As a pommie bastard myself its not a term i use Roger.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Quite right.
Me either

Or a local returning from an overseas tournament - unfortunately Tony Vidmar is the strongest name I have heard . I really hope my sources are wrong.

Oh boy, I hope they’re wrong too.

 

[marinermick]

Oh boy, I hope they’re wrong too.

Be at peace my friend. The Mariners are not “slipping up” on this one.

 

[marinermick]

Could be John Colby. He did well with a low budget team nobody else wanted and got a result against the Germans.

On reflection John might not be a good choice.

He lost the dressing sheds twice. Once when a Brazilian humiliated his tactical session in front of the whole team and the second when a giant hole came through it.

Steven gerrard?

 

[finally retired]

Quite right.
Me either

Nor me....but I answer to anything ?

 

[marinermick]

Steven gerrard?

Too far away from his sister-in-law

 

[Stuartmcateer]

Too far away from his sister-in-law

Wasn’t that giggs?

 

[shipwreck]

Cool so it's not Vidmar.

Who else?

 

[shipwreck]

If it's not Cahn and we get a random who has never coached in the ALeague, that's not proven or understands the competition planning factors, like summer heat, long off season, Un even games, long travel etc.... I'll be shocked

 

[Roger the Cabin Boy]

Gombau did well wiith Adelaide. Youth development history too. Is he in the mix?

So these 2 blokes walk into a bar. 1 has never hired for such a senior role and has no qualifications to do so. The other has done it once and it was a disaster.
What could possibly go wrong?
Sacked mid season probably

 

[BrisRecky]

OH ALRIGHT THEN, the new boss is me , i'll be zoom calling for 20 minutes twice a week and wombat will be the on the ground guy...Happy?

Does you being in QLD count as being overseas then Recky?

Unlikely - he has just gone to Persebaya less than 10 days ago.

The silence is ominous... unless they're just waiting for Cahn's campaign to be over.

nothing Ominous about it

the club/people in charge of making the decision obviously dont want a public shit show like we've done in the past and want to make sure the deal is done before announcing anything

the propensity for people here to chuck their toys out the crib at the first sign of uncertainty, its ridiculous, like do people genuinely believe they're entitled to know the ins and outs of the clubs daily runnings?

 

[Allreet?]

No, no... it's definitely ominous.
