Quite apart from that, IMO City has to make some "statements of intent" with both our new manager and the player signings we make for 2017/18 and beyond. Recycling an A-League manager and A-League players isn't going to help our club connect with the people of Melbourne. I may be completely wrong, and I may still be suffering from the disappointment of our ignominious end to 2016/17, but I don't sense from our PR that we're really pushing CFG hard enough to get what we need.

playmaker Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Can't believe Aloisi is even being discussed tbh. Shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as the other names being thrown around. It would be the worst signing in the history of the club and a massive backwards step. Just the lack of logic in discussing him baffles me. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the lack of logic in discussing him baffles me. i think the point has been lost in discussion. i raised aloisi upon reflecting upon the dearth of suitable Australian candidates. immediately before saying that i feel there are no current available Australian managers that i think have what the clubs needs right now to sort out the mens team. so no one i have seen has seriously raised aloisi as an option at this time. calm your farm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXCiTyZeNXx Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 (edited) Aloisi record as coach in 39 games with the Heart was eight wins, seven draws and 24 losses. We should be thinking about a European Coach like Pardew who is rumoured to come and would be a great coach to have Reading Football League Second Division runner-up: 2002 West Ham United FA Cup runner-up: 2006 Football League Championship play-off winner: 2005 Southampton Football League Trophy winner: 2010 Crystal Palace FA Cup runner-up: 2016 Individual Premier League Manager of the Month: February 2006, November 2013, November 2014 Premier League Manager of the Season: 2011–12 LMA Manager of the Year: 2011–12 Edited May 28, 2017 by xXCiTyZeNXx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 05/27/2017 at 5:12 PM, nah brah said: i would take aloisi back. Hmmm, OK then. I must be seeing things. As for calming my farm, I don't think so; I don't want to see another 3 years wasted and the aloisi nutbags would definitely be a disaster. This club needs to reset and the legacies of the past need to be eliminated. As I said previously , those cancerous fools shouldn't even be mentioned. If our club gets this part right, then we will be well on the way to laying a foundation for future prosperity through a change in culture. We need a manager with authority, respect, and a great leader of men to lead our team to the next level, and none of these attributes exist in those cancerous, sniggering fools. I'm with @xXCiTyZeNXx on this one, Pardew has shown, statistically at least, that he fits the bill by bringing multiple teams to a higher level in the past, but I don't know much about him tbh. If anyone does, I would like to hear about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinnibari Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Yeah, the FFA said it couldn't happen (at least any imminent expansion), but clubs are still pushing for it. This is very much shaping up as a winter of discontent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding from various FFA statements, comments by Gallop etc. is that expansion won't happen before season 2018/19, that it is very much dependent on the criteria for new clubs, and that those criteria are very much dependent on the "new funding model" that FFA is supposedly working on. Progress on the latter seem to be painful and slow. At the same time FFA is "trying to " re-organise itself but there doesn't seem very much that is tangible coming out of that either. TBH, what I've seen so far is that FFA doesn't really have any vision for the A-League. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
