Rd 5 vs Cupcake Mafia

[FFC Mariner]

Our next manager was decided the second Peil took the club.

He's already said it.

 

[FFC Mariner]

If Wanderers want a blue print for their next complete overhaul (after the inevitable Mark O'Rudan disaster)
Aston Villa, sacked the media darling celebrity coach and hired an actual coach.
Nek minnit
They are probably too smart but Talay or Staj would be the smart hire.

Talay is mooted as the next NZ NT manager

Just rewatched the match and enjoyed it immensely - fabulous performance.

Everyone did well but best of all was the team shape and press. We never let WSW have a second on the ball and that is such a huge confidence boost and message to the league - bit of a shame that the league will close down for a month just as we've hit top gear.

Triantis and Fazz were just brilliant, Cummings was outstanding despite not scoring, and what can you say about Kuol. Makes a difference every time.

Very worried about Monty though. The headhunters will have taken note of that performance and he'll be in demand. Like Kuol, enjoy him while we can.

in regards to monty its far too early for any interest another good season and im sure their will be interest but he wont leave before season end

 

[true believer]

It would be strange to tie up 2 (even if 1 is temporary) visa slots on 3rd and 4th choice CBs. It looks like it’ll be a long road back for Hall unfortunately.

strikers win matches , defenders win championships

yeah i was on board till you added "smart"
you know they hired rudan and didn't sack him at the end of last season

 

[true believer]

I am curious that Monty brought Dan on as a DM replacement. We are short in coverage in that position but I thought Dan's run in that position in the pre season showed that it was not a good fit.
Was it just convenient for last night or is it long term thinking?

i think it is , i also think dan will adapt over time .
i really can't emphasize how much ,a knee reconstruction will drain your confidence .

 

[midfielder]

Dan has the potential to be a great 6.... what he lacks is tactical awareness of were to go when to go... however consider Monty was a great 6, and I am sure can pass on the technical shape he lacks... he has the speed, size, and passing skills and he can tackle.... and most importantly he is not scared to run with the ball at his feet...

I'm sure he won't, unless the UK comes in for him, maybe.

He's said a few times he wants to coach in England.

Seems to be very happy on the Coast though...

I dont disagree with the sentiment but that doesn't really work with a limited visa allocation. You can win the championship with foreigners on the bench but your locals need to be top shelf as do the ones you start. And normally you'd still want them as at least impact players.

Agree he seems very settled with his young family. That being said if a great offer came from England then maybe but not even Ange is getting offers in England so not sure Monty is on many radar’s. Thats not because he isn’t good enough more to do with Aussie coaches not being looked upon all that favourably.

 

[Allreet?]

Monty, of course, is not an Aussie coach so would probably jump the queue, but I take your point.

I'd say we're safe for at least another two seasons. He's doing a brilliant job.

As for Ange, who knows what he's been offered?

 

[LFCMariners]

People might laugh at us but we were massive last night. Still singing 30 minutes after the end of the game. I know I'm biased but we are as good if not better than any other AL side, we just need bigger numbers

Hopefully improved form this season and more optimism about the squad and the club's future will see the ranks swell. There have been a couple of occasions since 2020/21 where I've looked around and thought we're near 2007/08 levels again.

This time we've got the advantage of more history and more universally understood chants to our benefit as well.

Muskrat just won the J league .
If someone from europe was looking for a coach .he'd be the front runner.

That would be Borat’s neighbour territory

I get the feeling Ange is quite comfortable at the Hoops and might stay there a while. Always a huge risk moving on, as the grass is not always greener. Same for Monty, he could take an OS gig move his family for it all to fall apart in 3 to 6 months. He has the backing of Dick and built a solid foundation so why move. For the next few years anyway.

Rangers rumoured

Would complete the Aussie domination of Scottish Football.

 

[Ironbark]

Monty has made it clear he wants to coach Sheffield one day. I'd say a year or 2 tops and there will be a pathway for him to move up the world coaching ranks for sure. And that's fair, he deserves it. So will enjoy him while we've got him - considering that goes all the way back to this playing days and being our Captain we've been lucky to have such a professional and quality human at the club
