+xBoth Queiroz and Van Marwijk are very conservative coaches who play an ultra defensive, shamelessly negative style. It would be Verbeek all over again. No thanks. It would clearly be a massive step backwards. It's a shame so many people here actively want us to revert to that dross. I think Queiroz is clearly a good coach but it would be a shame if all the graft Ange and the team have gone through to develop an attacking style was to be thrown out with a new coach. I think we need to choose a coach to fit the style, not a style to fit the coach.

At least common sense has prevailed and he will male a decision this week according to reports http://indianexpress.com/article/sports/football/australia-coach-ange-postecoglou-to-decide-future-this-week-4944439/....... at least we can hope any way. IMO it would be ridiculous if Ange went to Russia to attend the draw only to quit shortly after. (not saying they would find a replacement before that)

We have now qualified, but why is Ange still not letting us know what his plans are? Could it be that he's waiting on that lucrative offer from some club in Shanghai or Glasgow? And if he doesn't end up getting the offer, he'll make the announcement that his heart is with Australia and he'll take the Socceroos to the world cup? Is the Socceroos just his fall-back plan?
I don't know what to guess anymore, but if he was to leave .... or if FFA was to sack him right now,,, we should get someone who is willing to stay to see through the world cup and take us to defend the Asian Cup title. Seriously, what is Hiddink doing these days?

+x+xPostecoglou to Arnold would be a massive downgrade. Peoples memories are short but Arnold coached the NT before when we had even better cattle available and he was a massive flop. Good A league coach does not translate into good international coach, just like good A league player does not translate into good Socceroo. Dont think FFA should blow the bank and get somone Hiddink calibre, but ideally someone who can continue Ange's philopshy and not revert to bovine tactics like long ball and parking the bus. I am not sure it is entirely correct to judge Arnold on that previous stint. He must have learnt since then and be a better coach. there is no way that someone could actually get better at something after ten years of experience.

I'm keen to see Ange stay. He has done all the hard work. Ange deserves the Russian gig.
Only 32 head coaches go to any World Cup.
There are about 170 odd head coaches coaching top teams in the world's top seven top leagues and others that coach regular UEFA Champ and Europa League football.
Most want to be involved in the world's biggest sporting event. Guus didn't want to miss out in 2006.

Osieck did all the hard work and deserved to go to Russia.

Seriously, what is Hiddink doing these days? I don't think he wants to leave. It makes no sense to go through all the regeneration, developing 'his' game plan/style of play/system, taking the team right through the qualifiers to just chuck it all in with the big prize only 7 months away. He took a new 'green' team to the 2014 WC, did pretty well in a tough group, won the Asian Cup, and got us to 2018 (albeit the long way). Surely he'd want to have a crack at the WC again with his 'mature/regenerated' team that he's been preparing for this competition? Thats also got to be the reason he wouldn't answer the questions about his future - He really doesn't know. He wants to stay but there is something making him think that it might be untenable to continue. Whether that's an FFA thing, or a family/personal thing remains to be seen. Its not a job offer. If they are there now they'll be there after the WC, and it stands to reason that if the 'roos do ok, those offers will only improve. Can't see Ange being worried that a bad performance at the cup might hurt his future job prospects. In fact I'm sure he'd back himself on that outcome. Has to be a significant personal issue or something to do with the FFA or the job itself. Maybe he's not well?

I'm pretty sure Ange has indicated the problem lies with FFA - Gallop and Lowy.

Why would Ange not take us to the world cup? Seriously does he honestly believe he'll get a bigger gig than this? Someone should seriously sit him down and explain he may never get a chance to do this again. He earned it. He should fucking finish it.

Still a decent chance that we might get an 'easy' group compared to 2010 and 2014, and get the chance to get into the Round of 16.

Tom Smithies, The Daily Telegraph THE future of Ange Postecoglou remains up in the air despite several hours of talks between the Socceroos boss and Football Federation Australia CEO David Gallop on Tuesday. As Postecoglou continues to wrestle with the question of whether he will continue in the role, and take Australia to the World Cup, FFA sought clarity over the situation now that qualification for the tournament in Russia has been secured. Gallop and Postecoglou held lengthy discussions on Tuesday afternoon at FFA headquarters, just days before a delegation from the Socceroos has to travel to Russia for the World Cup draw next week. MATILDAS: Kerr destined for even greater things  Postecoglou hasn’t finalised his goodbye yet. (AAP Image/David Moir)Postecoglou is meant to be part of that, travelling to Moscow via Bangkok where he has been nominated for Asian Coach of the Year in a ceremony on November 29. If he decides to quit the national team, assistant coach Ante Milicic is likely to go in his place. Speculation has swirled around Postecoglou’s future since the playoff games with Syria last month, when he failed to deny reports that he was poised to walk away once last week’s tie with Honduras was complete. Despite his success in winning the Asian Cup and navigating the qualification path to the World Cup, it’s believed he has been seeking a club job for the new year.
Online polls have shown public backing for him continuing, but Postecoglou said on Sunday that he had to weigh up a host of factors including personal, family and professional considerations, in making his decision. Once the World Cup draw is out of the way the next pressing commitment is a friendly in March, with many of the logistical arrangements for the World Cup itself, including a team hotel and training ground, already locked down.

Probably waiting to see if the FIFA normalisation committee comes in. If they do, he will stick around since his main obstacles would be gone.

Naaah Go on Ange, sign with Rangers and quit within the year after all the unfounded pressure. Im sure after that you'll get a chance to coach your country at the World Cup.

But that's the thing. He is walking away from his dream job and if he does, it will show how toxic the situation is.
Or he is just being precious after all the bad press in the past.

Sooner or later it will all come out in the wash. Probably waiting for FIFA to oust these fools before he reveals all.

It’s tricky. We need someone who plays the same way that the team does (why oh why did Wanderers steal gombau). Arnie or Muscat aren’t the right people. Popas side is struggling and fin he gets the sack maybe we go him even if again not sure if he’s the right person. But going abroad for a manager then has to learn from the beginning.
