Valkanis at least has proven himself to be a title winning assistant and will be better off for the managing experience imo, and Montemurro has done well with the women's side. IMO assistants impact is near negligible anyway when you compare them; as long as they dance to the tune that the gaffer sets then they are really there as an aid and to bounce ideas off. Exactly and they are usually there to be the 'good cop' thats why some have an issue with transitioning to a head manager, they struggle to drop the nice guy act Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofhearts Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 So far hes saying all the right things/ I understand the on field results have not been great so far since their take over (outside of the ffa cup win) but i have enough trust and belief that CFG know what they are doing to not doubt this appointment. Just look at how much they have invested in the club already, they would not of made this appointment unless they were 100% sure that wazza was their man. Lets save all the doom and despair until at least half way through the season, where we can make an accurate judgement on whether hes a good coach or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all hope he is but until we play a few games (which include FFA Cup games) we won't know. The more I think about the appointment the less dissapointed or more accurately uninspired I feel.

I'm a fan of many different sporting teams, and am on many different forums regarding these teams, and I'm consistently amazed at the constant negativity and gloom around the club on this forum, it goes far above and beyond the negativity of any other forum I'm on. we are just used to shite and hope being rammed down our throats only to result in disappointment each season. Dont get me wrong, its a real turn on every pre-season, but you have to take everything with a grain of salt these days...We should get around him, new coach, hopefully new philosophy, hopefully no shit haircuts anymore because he seems like he would hook brattan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant see them lasting too long TBH as any manager that has been at the elite level wouldn't suffer these fools lightly. Hopefully there is a mid season management cull of the 3 dip-shits once he realizes how shit they really are and PK slots right in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(An incredible deal for both parties). A chinese 'club' is small fry compared to what they are doing - in fact committing to a single club could be counter-productive. They basically have the 'rights' to setup academies and structure at all junior levels throughout the whole country! Sure, they may say one day a Chinese club could be on the radar, but I think it will be secondary to what they are doing. Yes I know, one thing that the Chinese have learnt well from history is to play the long game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are a "feeder club" - which is an opinion based on one player in three years (Aaron Mooy) who ultimately won't play a single game for Manchester City - then whose fault is that? As I read the original intentions, there was every possibility that from time to time we would have players - possibly young players, possibly others too - coming from Manchester/other CFG clubs to play for us on loan for all or part of season. That cannot happen now, not because of Manchester City or CFG, but because of FFA's "Lampard Rule." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If FFA were not so inept we could have been in the position of Girona FC which gets several seriously talented players loaned and just got promoted to la liga. Instead the best we can hope for is developing Australian born players and maybe get lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I also pretty excited for next season. Of course these interviews are "staged" - anyone who has done media training knows that you just do not go into any interview, in-house or public, without due preparation. But he comes across as someone committed to football, and IMO he's not going to tolerate any of our players shirking or not putting in the hard yards. Which is what we need. The past two seasons have seen us seriously under-perform, and IMO that's the difference he's going to make. And no-one, from Khaldoon downwards, has mentioned "beautiful football." At last the emphasis is on results. As for Valkanis etc., I'm not too fussed about them just yet. I think Joyce will soon suss them out, and it will either be his way or the exit door. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
