IMO Hodgson is a solid coach who unfortunately will be remembered (a.) as a typical England Football Manager who has to deal with under performing elite players against an over the top optimistic media who think England should win everything, and (b.) a very poor Liverpool tenure. Doesn't mean he'd do well here, but way better than most IMO England don't really have under performing managers. What they have is over rated teams. A very experienced manager like Hodgson would be a big help to Valkanis. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXCiTyZeNXx Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 roberto mancini is a free agent Claudio ranieri is a free agent We probably have a 1% chance of getting these coaches and i am probably talking shit, but if we had one of these coaches we would win every season untill they retire. But at what cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My expectation is that we will either get someone promoted from a more junior role in the CFG network or a low profile European coach with a decent amount of experience in low profile leagues.

Hard to do tgT but I think it's very unlikely. At 70 I imagine he's not looking for a 2 year minimum coaching stint down under. Too far from family, especially grandkids if he has them & he's at an age when a new full time challenge is not normally what people are looking for. i would have thought shorter term consultancy work like this would be much more his go. Then you have his price. I can't imagine CFG would want to pay massive dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry mate but you are Sandra Sully with the late news on this one. This was publicised in Australia and posted about on here somewhere over a year ago.

This was publicised in Australia and posted about on here somewhere over a year ago. Now if he is still involved despite being ollyroos coach, then that is news. From the Herald Sun 13th January 2017 Gombau was appointed technical director of David Villa’s overseas academy (DV7) in January last year. It’s believed that he retained that post for some time after his Olyroos appointment last June. He says he has since resigned but it is not clear when his resignation took place. Gombau’s former Hong Kong club, Kitchee FC, announced a partnership with DV7 on December 9. The Lunar New Year Cup tournament was then revived. A-League chief Greg O’Rourke emailed clubs on December 6 revealing FFA had accepted an invitation from tournament organisers. FFA appointed Gombau, 40, as full-time Olyroos coach and second Socceroos assistant coach. (Note from JW - confirmed by FFA late June 2016) Gombau features on the website of DV7, which has academies in New York, Puerto Rico, Spain, Korea and the Dominican Republic and now Hong Kong. However, his biography was removed from the site on Friday after the Herald Sun questioned FFA. “We congratulate our Sporting Director, Josep Gombau, who has been named FFA head coach of the men’s Under 23 Olympic team (Olyroos),’’ the DV7 website reads. “Gombau has worked to construct the project and methodology of DV7 Soccer Academy. A global project… to which Gombau will continue serving as a founding member and international ambassador.’’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we don't go near him. I see it more about experience than toughness. An experienced manager knows when to be tough and when to put an arm around the shoulder. An experienced manager knows how to get the best out of his charges and when to shake things up, he knows what he wants tactically and how to get his players to do that. HK has had 6 months in a youth role. He is well and truly on his learners. 4 hours ago, playmaker said: Why? Harry says it's because of results. if that's true, that's retarded. He's the U23 coach. His job isn't to win the league, it's to prepare players to play for the first team, which he reckons he's done. Mind you his stated reason might not be the reason at all.

n i k o Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 I can very well see CFG being interested in Ange to be the coach after his Socceroos stint. Problem is we have another season before that. If this is true could they bring in a step in manager that's only interested in a one season stint and then have Ange for the 2018/2019 season. He would very well fit in with the philosophy I'd imagine. He has expressed interest in going overseas but he is also young however through CFG this may be the stepping stone he needs. Could very well see Ange and Paddy as assistant the following year. Doesn't provide much thought for this next season but it's an interesting prospect.
