jw1739 Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 The official statements from the club simply say only that "Michael Valkanis has been appointed interim first team coach with immediate effect while the Club conducts a search for a permanent replacement for van’t Schip." All the other appointments are also interim only. At this stage I'd say anyone's guess is as good as anyone else's, but I suppose that the absence of the phrase "until the end of the season" indicates that if someone suitable is available then he will be appointed before then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickromas Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 I feel like at this stage, with 11 games remaining, appointing someone is become less likely as each week goes by. Still plenty of games remaining to get our form back up but it's just looking less likely we will appoint someone before the seasons out. Feel like the club has been very hush hush on a lot of things with vague answers from the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that's the CFG way - they don't talk very often, if at all, about what they are going to do or might do, they talk about what they've done. It's nigh on impossible to get information leaked from someone on the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC the Board of Melbourne City determined that all things considered with Valkanis we could still achieve the objectives set for this season. Therefore they were prepared to see whether he could deliver. The argument about getting a new coach in half-way through the season is the same as the injury-replacement player argument - where are you going to get the right person at this point in time? If they are successful with their current club they're probably not going to want to come, and if they're unemployed do we really want them anyway?

Andrew Edmonds Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) Although I personally think our new coach will be Avram Grant, Frank Lampard just retired from football and said he's been studying for his coaching qualifications.. maybe he's an outside chance?

mus-28 Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Di Canio, Gattuso or anyone who will come in and fuck shit up. I'm over hearing how we controlled play yet didn't get the 3 points we apparently deserved despite the opposition playing a man short for an hour. I want to see the players berated when they pass the ball across the backline for 5 minutes to allow the opposition to park the bus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 TBH I'm at the point when I don't care too much who the new coach is.

MXG Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Arnold will make a difference. We must postpone this Dutch football experiment simply because we won't be able to find sutable players for this cosidering the cap and Aleague status. We need somebody with proven local record and Arni is the man. Hate to say it but I prefer boring result rather than rollercoster, inconsistency and fireworks.

I'd just like a club which under promises and over delivers, and goes about its business with more respect for its fans and its history. And reminds its players that we work to a higher standard, on and off the pitch, than our noisy neighbours. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
