Davies our new coach for this season an next !
Hmmmm?

It’s already been announced as Moon + Davies for the rest of this season. 

mate ...just repeating what they are saying ..seems strange to me too

I sincerely hope they're wrong.  He seems like a good guy, but he didn't show anything the last time he had the gig.

They are saying Moon will be his assistant.

If it’s Dave Lewis I’d treat it with a pinch of salt. He excels at writing controversial shot like Aloisi resigning to take over at Adelaide and Kurz getting the Roar job. 

“MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT COMING SATURDAY”

... says the club members mail?? 

Davies been given a 1 year deal as head coach (end of this season and then the following season). Thought he was given a chance last year and failed?

Actually 
wake me up in 2022 , Davis as a head coach bin there done that, failed miserably.

Wow.If someone had said Davies was the new coach at the begining of last season there would have been a mutiny.
A year later presumably,he is now a better coach?
Can we call this a Covid appointment,where we now become the CCM of the North until Covid has passed?

good on dazza

1. Coach cleans out squad.
2. Coach leaves
3. New coach hired but can’t be judged till he has his own squad
4. New coach cleans out squad

Thought young Australian coach in the UK for 15/20 years had a shot Anthony Limbrick 

Let's hope you are right. Davies would be an extremely underwhelming choice IMO.

Extract from Jamie Young article:
"Darren Davies and Warren Moon have been placed in charge of Brisbane following Fowler's exit.

Young said the pair have tried to continue the Englishman's plans, rather than rewrite the copybook mid-season"

Sticking to Robbie's plan is a relief to me - I was wondering which way we were going to go. Hopefully 'sounds like Robbie' will be enough continuity to re-generate our momentum even if it does not continue our growth as much as it would have in the no-covid alternate reality.

Hopefully they can execute Fowler's game plans and game management as well as Fowler did.  I don't know how Co-Managers will work.  It's a strange decision if it ends up being permanent. 

Roar signing up AIA Insurance as sleeve sponsor today - how does that happen 👏👏👏

You sign a worldwide recognised person as head coach who produces an effective and watchable product.

Also helps when you are the best club in the land.

You mean Darren Davies right?? 

Danny Kim re-signed for the rest of this season ... 

I didnt know he was signed before?
I presume he is an Aussie,not a visa player.In any event was previously nominated for POTY in the Qld NPL,so good that he is given an opportunity.
A replacement for AON?

Davies as head coach and Moon his assistant. Davies. a welshman, might do a Carl Robinson and be very effective given enough time, that being next season.

He’s ex-Academy. I guess they’re filling the midfield. Rumour they’re chasing a 6 to fill the hole left by AON/Pepper looking forward someone with more experience. 

Peps back on a short term deal?

Matthew Ridenton announced this morning, I am guessing he is the person they were looking for for that role. Be interesting to see how we line up in the midfield on Sunday 

;)

I would go so far as to say we shone under Robbie and that was recognised outside the a-league as a marketable quantity - battling cellar dwellers with walk in goals become contenders under God is no small value (thus AIA).

Under Darren Davies we have no identity as a team yet and personally I have no idea how we are going to go. Keen as ever of course.

How much of the squad did Davies put together first time round? I can't remember but I didn't think he had much involvement. How much did he have this time round? I don't think he had more than a word in Fowler/Grant's ears.

Maybe his strength has not been seen yet because he has been working with someone else's tools and trying to continue someone else's vision. Not likely to change much in that regard over the next year. Might be hard for him to show his own vision and playing style. Certainly did not stand out last time so the load is well on him to prove something now. Working under Robbie and with Grant may have helped his development too more than working under/with the Aloisi style and vision.

That's underwhelming. 

Our team this season has been non-flashy and lower profile (yes, some will say that sums up the team) and he seems to fit that mould.

Capable player with a specific function in a well co-ordinated structure exceeding the sum of the parts. Question is how quickly he would fit in and build the trust we really need for our system to work well.
