I wish these two guys well. Perhaps we might see something so completely different than we are used to in a good way.

I'm remaining fearsomely optimistic until I have reason not to be.

New coaches have both decent-level European experience AND broad A-League experience. Rado must have just about every player in the league in his mobile.

And we've had a clearout. So they've got money to spend and foreign spots to use up. And we've kept some decent players too. And we've signed Singh.

The only way is up, baby!

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

So this has been lined up since December?????

He couldn't do anything in those six months?

So have they just strung Des and Greenie along?

Does someone in the media have the balls to ask Dome some questions?

Patrick might ask them if you ask him nicely. He seems to have an avenue of approach.

This

I am really really happy with this appointment. He seems a no bullshark sort of guy..which is exactly what this club needs IMO. I hope he comes in and says to the players ""this is my method of playing football.....adapt or find another club." We have accepted mediocrity at this club for far too long. I especially like the idea of Vidosic as assistant. This guy knows the A-League inside out. I cant believe that some people wanted Greenacre retained....why reward failure? This clean out is well overdue

I suspect this guy will step on a few toes and offend some people.....who cares? as long as he is successful on the field. I hope they can also work on bringing some of the youngster through. We saw some good things from Singh, Rogerson, McGarryand Bell??? at the under 20 WC. They re far from the finished product but some of them could be good A-League players if they are handled correctly.

Hopefully they get the support form the owners that they need to strengthen the club. I don't expect super marque players but if they can pick up three or four decent players who can enhance the style of football they want to play, then all the better.

Cautiously optimistic that better times are on the way.

I'm in two minds to be honest - happy that we signed someone, so that we can finally start recruiting and building our team for next season.

Not overly impressed by his coaching CV to be honest, but he does come with broad European experience and Rado knows the A-League inside-out. I am just worried that Darije comes across as someone who doesn't hold his tongue and I wonder how Nix management will react if and when he says tells the media he couldn't do better given the budget and playing squad given.

This being said, let's watch this space, see who they bring in (hopefully a couple of kick ass European imports) and see how next season goes!

EDIT: also worried by some of the shorter spells with clubs where he either left by his own accord or was let go.
