Appiah without the pace
NZF have published their annual report which includes high level details of the World Cup review...

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.
So after all that, the review has determined:
1/ That there should be a plan.
2/ That a committee should make a plan.
3/ That there should be meetings to discuss the plan.
4/ That the plan should be resourced.
5/ That success should be measured against the plan.
6/ That everyone should get behind the plan.
What a breathtakingly insightful review.
Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

Regular revues ...!
Excellent !!
Always enjoyed a good revue....
BTW ...did anyone expect anything more than this , pre chewed , flavourless pablum ....
Also , have'nt we already GOT a new Head Coach ...?
How old is this ?
"Sixth straight year NZF has recorded a strong surplus"
You're just trying to provoke me.
Must. Resist.

5/ That success should be measured against the plan.
6/ That everyone should get behind the plan.
What a breathtakingly insightful review.
But the implication is that none of that existed previously.
So it is indeed a great leap forward into a brave new world of having a plan!
What we need now is some form of manager to help our better players to a higher performance standard .....

In better news, $3.5m transferred to International Teams Activity Reserve on back of TV revenue from Mexico playoff. When initially set up after 2010 World Cup with prize money, $2.5m was set aside.
So should see more games and better prep for our youth teams.
better pay for support staff did you say
Supporter For Ever - Keep The Faith - Foundation Member - Never Lets FAX Get In The Way Of A Good Yarn
Bigger , Better , Troughs ....
All jokes aside there are at least a few interesting recommendations in there:
"Key stakeholders to be aligned behind the All Whites plan and to honour the commitments and compromises contained therein"
Is that a shot at the players and player availability? What other key stakeholders might have been seen to be not honouring their commitments previously?
"New Zealand teams to adopt a style of football that suits New Zealand players and conditions so that players have the requisite skills to transition into the All Whites environment"
That seems to be a clear warning to the NZ age-grade coaches to toe the line. Is this a real problem at the moment? Players also transition to the All Whites from other environments such as ASB Prem and the Phoenix, but it's hard to imagine NZF expects to have any say in how they play.
"The All Whites need to transform their performance culture into one of ownership, accountability and leadership"
That's a clear shot at the All Whites playing group and management and fully implies that those things are not there at the moment. Pretty disappointing from the outside looking in if that's true.

If your assumptions are correct about taking a shot at players and team culture (and they seem reasonable) this would go some way to explaining why NZF released such a bland high level summary.

The problem with this is the statements are so bland that it's left up to us to project our assumptions of the failings of the last World Cup cycle onto it.
I really do feel like this is, as predicted, a complete and utter whitewash and reflects really badly on NZF as a membership organisation.
It's just so pathetically bland and full of corporate bull shit. No-one takes any accountability and no-one assumes any responsibility for the next 4 years.
I'm actually really pissed off about this, it's just laughable that this is all we get after a 4 year cycle which ended up with us preparing for a World Cup qualifier by playing semi-pro american teams and players retiring in their droves.
