How's his relationship with vaduka he rejected heart maquee mabye???

do his legs still work?

he'd spend more time in the physio than Mrdja

 

[tsd]

if vaduka played in the A-League it would have to be for newcastle as they have darbys pies, who would become the major sponsor

An excellent, hard hitting, but fair analysis of Graham Arnold's coaching career with the national teams, and media dealings:

It will be hard for any successor to McKinna to match two Grand Finals, a Premiership and qualification in the Asian Champions League; with the expansion of the League to 12 teams in a couple of years it will become even harder. Time will tell if GA is up to the task. The other side of the legacy, however, is an unmitigated embarrassing failure in the ACL campaign and just 7 wins in 38 starts in more than a year bringing with it falling gates and loss of revenue from spectators, merchandise sales and sponsors. I reckon even the oft maligned Arnie will improve on that.

Very good article ... and very true. Can just picture him next season in post match interviews ... hope he doesn't lose it like Cranky Frankie

Tuesday night on Fox Sports FC G.A will be on for an interview... will make for interesting viewing.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Sure, he's going to get all sorts of tough questions from his ex team mates and colleagues.

The first game we lose playing the 'Australia-against-Iraq-at-the-Asian-Cup' sort of football will make for a great post match interview.....

I don't really wanna stick up for the guy but 2 parts of this article seem a bit bs to me.
"It is a stark contrast to the way in which Arnold allowed for his side to be unashamedly flaunted as pre-tournament favourites in the lead-up to the Cup"
Surely this has more to do with the media and nothing to do with Arnold "allowing his side to be flaunted"
"Arnolds lack of subtlety at press conferences was ill-advised, so was a bizarre decision to stage a friendly against Uruguay in Sydney"
Was this really Arnolds decision of the FFA wanting to cash in on the replay of the world cup qualifier?

Is this the sign of things to come in the media? SMH article

Foster on the apointment

I am optimistic for the Mariners and Arnold, who has had an apprenticeship of rare quality in Australian football. Not only that, but with the A-League's finest coach, Vitezslav Lavicka, plus John van 't Schip at Melbourne Heart and Arnold on the Central Coast, we have perhaps the strongest coaching line-up the league has seen since its inception.

 

[Blackadder]

More proof Foster talks out of his arse.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Has anyone ever seen Foster and DV together?

HMMMmmm Fozzie says something nice about us...
