Le Hack Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 Preference for me would be someone in the CFG system. Des Buckingham the obvious choice but he has Mumbai City in second with no losses and I can't see CFG moving him until after their season is finished. From Melbourne you might have thought Petr Kratky as the assistant but Rado has taken over, maybe they're thinking Dario from next year, following PKs footsteps. I'm not sure who is available from CFGs overseas stables but I can't see Pep releasing anyone from Manchester. And I can't see Muscat coming back from Yokohama. God I hope not. The obvious current ALeague managers I would accept would be Pappas, Talay, or Montgomery. Left field would be Kewell, Pros and Cons there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I think I'd like to see Des Buckingham given the opportunity, because he seems to get on well with the developing players. Likewise Papas. I can't see Kewell quitting Celtic for us. From within the club itself, have no idea really, but I'm a bit wary of a father/son dynasty appointment. However, it seems that I regularly become aware of someone at the club who I had no idea is or was there, so there may be other internal candidates.

Le Hack Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 The only ex a league player currently coaching at City is I believe La Rocca. But he's doing Juniors I understand. There may be some of the other's doing their coaching badges. You'd think someone like Jameson, maybe Leckie might be doing that as something to do once retired. Or maybe Griff over in India. I think those sort of guys would be ideal coaching material in 5 years or so but obviously not now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precisely this. Thats why I'm thinking its already done/decided. And announced 10am Thursday. An overseas appointment. Imagine the backlash taking an existing contracted A League coach mid season.

CityBoyz Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 There was the rumour that academy boss John Maisano was getting the job. Gone a little quiet there.

IIRC the style of play CFG wants is free flowing from the back and high scoring. This is not the style that GA has, even when he was at Sydney FC he played slow tempo defensive football and he had the cattle to create a more flowing style of game.

But his results at both Central Coast and Sydney speak for themselves. And now he is producing probably the best we can expect of him in Qatar. I get the impression that he does bond well with the squads at his disposal, or those results would not be there. 18 minutes ago, NewConvert said: Arnold is successful as the records show.

I think that under PK we have seen more long ball from the back style football than we were seeing under Mombaerts and in PK's first season. But I doubt that Arnie would be coming here. After this World Cup I would think he'd receive a few offers at a national level. I would like to see Des Buckingham back with us Edited November 30, 2022 by jw1739 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moops Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 Surely Arnie would be getting offers from overseas after this world cup, he's gone to Japan so probably wants to test himself again.

There’s been several occasions where the team thought about to play him in but he’s either behind the CB, runs off and we turned it over. Credit to JMAC he knows that he doesn’t posses skills to hold the ball up but it’s frustrating as times you play with an attacker less.
