Le Hack Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 Somebody who may be considered is Super Dario. What do we think about how he's gone with the Girls. Considering he's got them to win the plate and after a season with some upheaval with losing players to os, to national teams, and long term injuries, he's done quite a good job. Haven't really seen how he goes about it. However his pressers seem ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really hinting at anything just pointing out it’s pretty weird/unusual and thus is going to invite speculation, especially given (at least for me) the complete lack of publicity about something that has hurt us at a crucial time. I presume it’s just a privacy thing in reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Brisbane lost their coach Ben Cahn, at least they put out a statement that he was on indefinite medical leave but I don't think that CFG released any statement. I presume that he is at the Germano medical centre somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merely that the club is short on meaningful information to members, and has been lacking in this respect for some while now. Always asking people to buy something, or enter a competition, or register for something, but not treating us like adults capable of interest and understanding, or, let it be said, of actually contributing meaningful opinion and ideas. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fensaddler Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 On this one, I suspect we have to accept the same medical or contractual confidentiality as we'd want for ourselves. On this one I'm happy to accept that it's none of my business. Though On a personal level I'd wish him a swift recovery from whatever ails him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked Wikipedia and he has Thyroid cancer for which he had an operation and is unable to work. Having a long family history with cancer, I think it will be quite a while, if ever, he makes it back to work.

jw1739 Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 37 minutes ago, n i k o said: Not really. Hasn't he been around for a long time and worked under PK? He went with PK to Troyes and when PK was sacked he returned to City. His CV says that he is sports science and high performance professional rather than a football tactician, which is what you want (I would have thought) for your Manager/Head Coach. His actual qualifications are listed here https://au.linkedin.com/in/raffaele-napoli- just scroll down a bit to see them. I just don't understand this club sometimes. Build all these fancy facilities and then skimp on the staff inside them? Jamo might not have the qualifications, but I would have thought that for the on-field stuff he would read the play a lot better than Napoli. No-one could doubt Jamo's intensity and will-to-win. Maybe he is the lead on the actual bench itself but Napoli is listed as the Coach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we appoint someone really decent then it'll just be different shit. It beggars believe that somewhere in the CFG monolith there isn't a decent coach who could come here and really make a difference and give the squad the lift that the club needs. Instead of relying on a phone call to someone you knew somewhere else.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The squad is not as good as people think however to me he just hasn’t shown anything promising that he deserves to be in front of the group the next 2 seasons. But yeah it looks like the club has conceded that he has taken the maximum out of this playing group. He’s personal friends with Petrillo perhaps that has something to with it.

jw1739 Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 How anyone in their right mind could contemplate giving Vidmar a contract for the next two years is completely beyond me. The club has failed in every way both on and off the pitch this season. The FFA Cup, the Asian Champions League and now the A-League - all failures, and the style of play is utter shit as has been mentioned elsewhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr MO Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 I do feel the fan groups need to unite and let themselves heard, perhaps with a petition? Surely they can’t appoint him. Are there still any “trust the process” people left? So far I’ve perhaps 1 out 10 claiming that Vidmar needs to be given a chance when recruiting his own squad.

I’m not going to burn the stands down if they re-signed Aurelio. Personally I thought he had the impossible job- take over and turn around a weak squad with no cohesion in a high expectation environment. He did ok, say 6/10. Now personally I’d prefer say Paddy or another high quality coach and think 6/10 wasn’t good enough but I also don’t know what else he had to deal with. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
