aka the Harry Redknapp method (with the "enjoy yourself" proviso)
No - that is the Rosie Redknapp method.

As Steve Sumner said after we strung 2 passes together (which obviously proved him right) "see, its a simple game"
So maybe you're right, who needs a coach.
Herbert less than $100k? Seriously?
That kind of pay scale may reduce the pool slightly.

Oi Tegal! Leggy has categorically stated that Sumner knows more about football than any of us on here. So leave it out, yeah?
NZF could make some cash off a reality show to find the next coach "New Zealand's Next Top Football Coach". Contestants have a number of challenges - playing as NZ on FM14, being interviewed by the media, finding the best outfit to wear on the sidelines etc. Get Colin Mathura-Jeffree to host it:
NZ on Air would probably part fund it too
Actually, looks like our next coach might well be.... *drumroll* .... Ricki Herbert:
http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/football/9401554/Defiant-coach-Ricki-Herbert-hits-back-at-critics
Herbert's contract expires at the end of the World Cup cycle, which will be Wednesday in Wellington unless he can engineer one of the greatest miracles in Kiwi sporting history.
Does he want to stay in the job? "Don't know yet," Herbert said. "Is there anybody better?"
.....Herbert said he would discuss his future with his NZ Football bosses after the Wellington game.
"It's not about me, it's about the future of the game. And if, for whatever reason, there's a decision to stay on and people are comfortable about that, or not, then those decisions will be made. I have no 100 per cent in my mind at the moment.
Keep Herbert until Russia 2018. Think about this, who thought that Mexico was going to finish 4th in the hex? If Panama defended better against the USA it might be another story, also the OFC SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST ONE SPOT FOR THE WORLD CUP, also we have to remember he has saved the All Whites after the Vanuatu disaster of 2004, and also these are following pros and cons during his time as manager:
Pros
1st ever win over a European side, Georgia in '06 and also Serbia in '10.
1st ever point in the FIFA Confederations Cup, Iraq '09 and 1st ever point in the FIFA World Cup.
1st time the All Whites to qualify for the FIFA World Cup in 28 years.
Most matches managed by an All Whites manager 59-22-14-23, 9 more than John Adshead.
Cons
5-1 Mexico loss and 5-0 losses to Spain and Venezuela.
2-0 loss to New Caledonia which meant no 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup.
Cancelled matches vs. Ukraine '07, Fiji '07, Indonesia '09 and Iraq '09. (Japan '11 don't count)
Key injuries to key players.
The All Whites could of play on the following dates during the Herbert era:

03/09/2005

That is all I have to say about Ricki.
We do need to change. I think Ricki has given a lot and been very unfairly criticised at times. But at the same time he is limited. I think he has given all he can and there is a need for fresh ideas, especially to try and instill more confidence in the players when they are on the ball and have others give them better options. I also think NZ would generally be better off with a more pressing defence, that is something we should have the players to do but has never really been implemented under Ricki at all.
Not completely convinced by Emblem. I would sound out Graham Arnold and see if he was interested, I think he would be a good fit. Otherwise advertise it and see who is interested.

Did you see Ricki saying he instigated the Phoenix?
Ricki also invented the ipod
And this here interweb....
Ricki went back in time and fathered Lionel Messi

I still can't see why people are seeing Emblem as the man for the job. If theres one thing to come from Herberts era, it's that the new man needs to be someone from the outside who has no allegiances to players. This system hasn't worked so why replace Ricky with his right hand man thinking something will change. Emblem has no proven credentials to say he's fit for the National job (3/4 years as a Player-Manager of Waitakere (amateur) and the NZ Olympic team (1 point, 1 goal)). NZ Football need to stop pinching the pennys and go all out for someone with a reputation.

Why would someone with a reputation want to coach a team that plays about 2 meaningful matches a year?
I think its harsh to tar Emblen with Rickis brush. Emblen has a very good track record or developing, promoting and playing youth, something that Ricki is not known for.
Having read that article, I have to say I lost a little bit of respect for Ricki.
A good leader knows when its time to get out. He might have stayed 6 months longer at the Phoenix than necessary but he got out when it became apparent it was time to. I think if he cannot see that its time to get out, he is delusional.
I have not been one to kick Ricki but he needs a brick bat for that. Granted its media and they can slant it how they like but its not a good look. It just wreaks of absolute god/messiah complex and arrogance.
Ricki has defended himself in the latest news item from stuff, he ahsnt made up his mind if he wants to stay on
but he will let New Zealand football know.

Track record? He's managed Waitak, Western Springs and New Zealand U23 which (forgive me if i'm wrong) means he has to play youth. Emblem is not a step FORWARD, it's either staying the same or a step backwards.

Too poor. Would MS Paint be sufficient?

Isn't he just looking out for Number One? What's he going to do if he quits? Manage Tee Dubs?

I never said Emblen was a step forward above either. I would like to see him get the job but it wont happen.
You should remove your bias when commenting on others posts.
It seems Ricki mated with John Key to spawn Lionel...
I'm going to be really pissed off if NZ Football doesn't try to attract a creative and attack minded coach. We seem to have a bit of a golden generation coming through and it would be a shame to let their talents go to waste.
can't we get a quality overseas coach

Oh ffs.
What millions?
NZF is broke as it is. Any money made from the Mexico tie will certainly not go towards a "quality overseas coach".
Not gonna happen.
