Is Emblen the man to take us forward? Looks a ready-made replacement. Who would the other candidates be?

I'd say it's pretty safe to assume it'll be Emblen.

He's been groomed for the job, so at least he knows what he's getting himself into.

To be fair, who's coaching is less of an issue at this stage of our footballing development than figuring out how to broaden the base of players capable at relatively high levels of the game and setting them on professional pathways at an earlier age and with more success. Until we get that right, the coach, whoever he/she is, can only do so much with fairly limited playing resources.

Emblen got the Olympic team playing some decent football and most of those lads should be AWs regulars in the future. That's good enough for me.

I agree with El G but would add we need at least 3 matches a year against decent opposition or else we'll never get a chance to develop the understanding required to execute a more fluid style in one off games. A few days together every few years does not cut it, nor do occasional matches against Island teams in where our top players are absent through"injury"

It will be Emblen, I hope it's not, but certainly there's no other obvious choice domestically.

As for Tony Readings, why would he jump aboard this ship when his one is sailing bloody well.

I was championing for him too but I found out very recently (and the source is very very close to him) that it wont be him. The reason being is that he does not have the tickets that are required and is not in the process of getting any.

 

I'd like it to be him but I would be surprised and so would he.

What tickets are required? Thing is though, whoever comes in needs to work with the shambles that is the national body. Start with shit and the top and it slowly drips down and leaves a stench all the way through that takes lots a cleaning out to sort. Would anyone want the job with a muppet board

Please Ricki Herbert, you're an embarrassment - go now. Don't wait for Wednesday. And while you're at it take your deadwood with you - namely Lochhead, Christie, Butler and Scott. A yellow card has spared us Bertos. It's also done Ivan Vicelich, who I really respect, a favour as he's past it at 37. I've nothing against them as players but they are not international standard anymore, save Vicelich, who just doesn't have the legs. 

What really sticks in my craw is Christie, who was ridiculous out there. Bertos couldn't tackle and Lochhead huffed and puffed to no avail. We could have made a game of it if Roux, Tuiloma and James were on from the outset. Instead it was an embarrassment to watch, particularly the first half.

Emblen can take the team in Wellington and he would probably put on an attacking display. We won't beat them but at least it won't be going backwards like we have been under Herbert. The Phoenix are now finding new life without him, please can't the AWs?

At least I can enjoy ACFC playing Casablanca in the Fifa Club World Cup next month. In Ramon Tribulietx we have a coach who knows what he's doing, albeit with more limited resources. You watch, City will put on a great display.

calm down mr angry

in my opinion, and i'm entitled to one, he prepared the team well, but set them out very negatively come tournament time, just like herbert did today.  4-3-3 became 4-5-1 at tournament time.  once they dropped goalsthey came out of their shells

contrast this with the amazing, attacking football played by paul posa's side

i hope he has learnt from this, because he might just be the best coach in nz

**psst** The knitters don't like it when they get some of their own truths back. The fact is, Ramon might be tactically sound but Paul achieved much the same with a team of more Kiwis than imports. Also Paul could win the league and cups.
Besides, hard to argue a team of amateurs when Ivan is in the paper talking about salary caps... *snigger*

How would people feel about a foreign coach? Not sure how much Ricki gets paid each year (probably not a lot) but to move forward searching for someone from Europe would be a positive approach. There is some good coaches coming through in NZ but with a good group of young players coming through now we need someone to mould them into an exciting attacking side. 

Oz have had mixed success opting for foreign coaches over the years, and I'm not saying we should copy them, just keep our options open. 

A young coach, who has worked under an experienced manager in Europe for a bit. 

I see Middlesbrough FC appointed Jose Mourinho's old number two at Real Madrid as their new manager yesterday (Karanka?)

I know i will cop some shit for bringing his name up but I truly think David O'Leary would be a great import coach for the "All Whites".

He's great with young guys and his style of attacking football with descent defence suits what players we have ATM and coming up.

All they need to do is go out there, pass it around, and have a go. It'll be fine, no need for a coach.

Less than 100K. so unless Fred finds some money down the back of the fax machine, international coach is out of the question.

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.
