He's gets results & his record speaks for itself.  I wouldn't mind him coaching the NT one day.

There was even a series of matches where he was booed every time his face was on the big screen lol.

This didn't happen, but there were a few and you have to understand that with Muscat it;s a term of affection. 

I have an old fan zine from Millwall and there is a ode to him in there abd even they call him a C u n t buyt they say 'yes, he's a c u n t but he's our c u n t'

Why do Victory fans on here continue to be in denial about this?

It happened, it was even in the documentary that aired on FoxSports last week. He was booed by supporters, especially in the Brisbane Roar game, when his head was on the main screen, after 3 straight losses.
#Muscutout was used on Facebook, twitter, and various social media outlets. A lot of fans were pissed at the time, wanting him to move on.

Credit to him and the team to come out, realise the issues (once again this was mentioned in the doco) and go on to lift silverware, and proving most doubters wrong.

You'd have to be really dumb to boo a coach of that longevity & with that overall record.

Oh wait, Melbourne Victory fans, gotcha.

Why would it be dumb?

So Muscat can stay forever and fans should be happy, even if they finish last from now on?

Victory fans have high expectations, comes with the territory (Muscat acknowledges this).

Big clubs, with a winning culture, have demanding fans, they hate losing. Its how it is.

If any coach wants a cushy job, then go to Melbourne City, they have no desire to win, no winning culture, and a very small fan base that don't give a crap if the win or lose.

That is why we achieve success.
Nothing wrong with getting on your coaches back if you have a few loses. It makes a good coach work harder to achieve.
I think Victory fans can take a lot of the credit for last year championship.

Milligan has said he wants to become a manager once he hangs up the boots.

Would be cool to see him return to MV and do a similar apprenticeship to Muscat.

The way he got left in the wake of the Celtic player over the weekend, that may be happening sooner rather than later.

GA put a good squad together and had a couple of solid years with them but he should have done better.

KM out coached him in last seasons semi.
The year before KM out coached him in the final to lose on penalties.
GA should have done better (with respect to finals) with that squad.
He failed in Asia.
He even lost the FFA cup final to City (how anybody can lose a finals game to City is beyond me).
So I would say GA can build a team and do good week in week out but he fails in important matches.
KM is the opposite.
GA will finish you on top of the ladder. KM will win you a championship / knock out match.

You gotta give Kev some credit.
Smartest off season recruiting following some good transfers last season to build up the piggy bank.
New formations.
Smart subs.
More flexible lineup.
Imagine where MV would be if they had not had 2 terrible pens given against them and if Ola had not been injured. 
Imagine how good they will be once Ola, Honda, Troisi. Kosta and Terry have had some more games together.

Well done Kev you are a genius.

So far only poppa matching him this season.

At what point do the people who dislike Kevin Muscats coaching change their opinion?
He seems to have taken a big leap forward this season.
New formations. Beautiful football.
I suspect the new assistant has a lot to do with his development.

I have noticed this season him talking a lot about formation or more accurately lack of formation through fluidity of movement in possession.  He definitely sounds like he's learning some new tricks this year.

You would have to guess that he has had a lot to do with all of the changes this year.
KM had until this year been perhaps a bit set on Plan A. It was a good plan for a team with BB in it.
This year the formation is much more fluid. You can win a game but to win with excitement is another thing. 
Hoping they can do it regularly and can improve even more as they get to know each other better.

If Muscat had never been a player what would you think of him.
Give me your opinion on him just as a coach.

Ok IKB, let me put it this way. MV were not the best team last season but they won the Championship - a big share of that has to go to the coach.

if Muscat was coaching Brisbane we’d win more close games and save more points than we will under Aloisi.

In general, Muscat-coached teams often find a way - even when they are not at their best.

Muscat probably behind Ange, Arnie and Poppa - but closing fast.

When he wins the League twice in a row without FFA supplying extra money to help him improve the squad.
