rass Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 That happened quickly. Brutal but 100% the correct call. Hopefully results will start to come but first non-negotiable is maximum effort, engagement and intensity from the players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofhearts Posted November 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 (edited) Good on the club for showing some balls and getting rid of someone so early in the season. In the good ol' heart days we would've given him the rest of the season to see if this would work out. The season is still young and their is heaps of time to turn this around. I'm expecting a big performance on Friday. Edited November 1, 2023 by kingofhearts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playmaker Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 On the fence about this. Hopefully not just a knee jerk reaction to save face and distract attention away from the real problem of inept list recruitment. Vidmar doesn't seem the type to 'toe the corporate line' either. In saying that: “In Aurelio we have someone whose credentials speak for themselves and who is also committed to playing an attacking, possession-based brand of football that aligns with our own football philosophy,” football director Michael Petrillo said. As with many others here I have my concerns about the list being able to execute the 'brand' style of play. Wait and see from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neio Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 Does anyone know what Ufuk Talay is doing, surely at least was worth a phone call. It's the right call on Rado I think, but I will admit that it's very quick and he wasn't given any time to try and turn the ship around. If that's how we're running things now, we could go through a couple managers quick if we don't get results we want quickly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO this has been brewing since before the end of last season and our thrashing in the GFI still think it's the reason why VdV and Lam left the club.

As opposed to just looking at the first 2 games this season... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right from the start of the season - we conceded a goal in 37 seconds to Oakleigh! And if you look again at Adelaide's first goal and look at the body language of our boys after the ball goes in - it's obvious that there's no fight there. Vidmar has got a big task ahead of him to turn that sort of attitude around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewConvert Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 Wow. This morning I was feeling pessimistic about City but now I have hope back. Vidmar? Not sure. First he has been around for quite a while but not making much impact nor it appears progressing. Interestingly it appears that he is contracted for the remainder of the season only. So he may have the inside running but is no certainty. The idea that a coach needs to be a hot head is misplaced - Ange has proven that over the course of his career and QPR has just sacked Ainsworth (don't ask) because he was a hot head. The positive for me is that if there was a bias against Galloway or Hall then it is unlikely that Vidmar will have them as he has not been at the club. His first real test will come if he makes substitutions and when. I prefer Ufuk Talay myself because he does appear to have a brain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jw1739 Posted November 2, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 One point I would like to add. Rado has done what very few football coaches and managers would do - step forward and say that he doesn't feel up to the job. I think that shows what a gentleman he is, and we should respect him for that. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.B. Cooper Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) Something not discussed in this thread that I feel is probably part of the board conversation: squad departures. Whilst you can explain away each player departure individually, the big picture looked like we had a serious problem. Based on the subsequent events my guess is the board shared my concern.

Cooper It's only guesswork of course, but this has long been my theory too. The double departure of VdV and Lam could be explained, but footballers and their families are forever moving as the player's contractual situation changes, so they would have been well aware of what two years here would mean, and their sudden departures are why I am in agreement with your proposition - there was a serious problem. However, I'm not sure that it went to the Board. The sequence seems to have been that when the squad returned from Adelaide Rado went to see Petrillo, and that after a relatively short discussion, there was agreement that Rado's contract would terminate by mutual agreement.

No. When I renewed my membership I was told he had a year to run on his deal. Again there are a range of plausible explanations for his departure but surely we’d have preferred to keep him so it added to the question over Rado. PS I take the “mutual agreement” and associated club statements with a pinch of salt. The board was not happy so they made a change. The statements are just their attempt to do it in a nice way.
