jw1739 Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 4 minutes ago, haz said: Throw the money at Popa? TBH I don't know what we should do. If we're going to bring in a new manager then surely we have to do it quickly, or otherwise muppets at Latrobe like Didulica will sign or re-sign players for next season without the new man having any input, and so once more we will have a couple more seasons of mediocrity while the squad is adjusted again. I think I would prefer someone already within CFG because I'd be more confident that he would have had some say in the signings and re-signings that we have already made - Muscat, Retre, Chapman, Melling and Clisby. I'm beginning to hate the off-season already. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffplz Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 I hope JVS lives out his contract till 2018. Just fuck our shit up fam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melburnian Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 So, we know JVS unfortunately is staying on but in good news we are getting an experienced coach from the EPL to be his understudy for a season before taking over full time. Who could this guy be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 I thought about Kidd, but he's 66 and coming to Australia might be a bit much at that age.

I wondered if it might be Kidd when I thought it was just a signing to steady the ship, but the more the stories talk about him being groomed to replace, the more it's obvious that Kiddo is not the man we are talking about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 (edited) I think they will just appoint the next manager as an 'assistant' and JVS will just be manager in name only. Because what is the point of JVS being in control if he is leaving. Edited May 13, 2016 by Dylan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only think this assistant will be inexperienced. The whole thing strikes me as crazy and is odds on to end in tears. I'll make the point that CFG is still learning on how to own and manage a team in both Australia and the USA. Players (e.g. Harry Kewell) have consistently made the point that non-Australian players coming to the A-League underestimate what is required, and I suggest that's true for managers also. Managers have to be across all the FFA rules, and whereas in most leagues around the world you can buy and sell players as you wish without the encumbrances of the caps etc., but here you can't. The rumour is that the new assistant is from overseas and has EPL experience (which I take to mean as experience of a coaching position in an EPL club) but will have a season to get familiar with FFA and the A-League. IMO it doesn't have to end in disaster at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) Certainly not what various media articles had suggested. My initial reaction is disappointment and that pretty much all we've done is re-arrange the deckchairs on the Titanic. So far a bland off-season with nothing to excite.

belaguttman Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Presumably we couldn't sign the person that CFG allegedly had in mind.

NewConvert Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 This is such shit news. FFS this has left me bereft of any hope for next season - not even a hint of an illusion that things may work out. The only reason anyone would bother watching MelbCity next season is to see some magic from Fornaroli but without Mooy he is unlikely to be able to produce the goods on a regular basis.

They specifically talk about how excited they are to work with JVS and how the new assistants will be working with JVS. If he was leaving it would definitely be done before the assistants were finalised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
