Attempt to cash in on his name-well known to EPL/Eurosnobs though less so to the younger generation.The Bulls have not set the world on fire with unimaginative  play despite some good players on their roster-Davila,DDS,Liam Rose.They need a name to get interest going in an area which should be a nursery for the code but his lack of coaching credentials may backfire.Anyway good luck to him and them.

:D and there I was treading lightly so as to not upset lol.......

I'd seriously like to hear from those supporters approving ?
Imagine for eg the SPL seeing so many have jumped on the band wagon re Ange IF he didn't have any coaching experience but as an ex player got the Hoops gig - how do you think that would have come across there ?
We're talking our Pro level game here.
It is another slap in the face to the locals let alone what of all the current AL assistants who could have fitted the bill for eg ?
Or how about another experienced 1st team coach from Asia or ME - why not try and entice a well qualified Jap coach another option ?
Wouldn't any of the above be better for the Bulls let alone their academy players down.

Even with name recognition this is his first attempt at coaching a club which is risky. Hopefully he can make a difference for them.
Macarthur have been strange this season. Went from top 3 at the beginning, to then struggling away from home and then stuttered to a halt. Given the squad they had there was no excuse to make the top 6 and some here suggested there was conflict between Ante and the players. Hopefully it isn't anything more than that...



Lmao underrated

This appointment is a fucking embarrassment & a slap in the face to Australian football in general.  

They have appointed someone who has never coached. 


There is no football played in this country besides the so called top flight.   

I get yours and Davide's pov but even for the sake of good publicity IF its a fail just as what occurred with GOD what is the point and for the good of the game overall ahead ?
OK we have a known name coming on board but what top league we know anywhere assigns a unkown, its de ja vue once again.
Hope he cuts the mustard for the Club on the backfoot failures ahead not good media wise and the game.

your poor family

You're in danger of missing out on the Death Spiral bandwagon

Pretending to have always been for P/R, Marquees were never going to work and Expansion wasn't the solution to everything.

Now you're going to end up as one of those 'back in the good old days of the closed shop' whingers

If I make it to 50, can't drink past the afternoon and start talking about milieus and triangles, you have my permission to ban me forever :). lol

Football coaches Australia will be up in arms,
Still there is always saying Harvey Norman Replay for Phil Moss

Imagine being middle aged and creating a multi where the schtick is putting extra spaces between each word. 

Your not enjoying middle age much are you mate? .... Chin up, its almost over.

Aha ,   "all  night  Dwight " ...

He's  50.

Probably   be  getting  the   "all   afternoon   Dwight "   version   now ...

True and I guess "all night Dwight" is the current ISUZU TRUCKS (but not passenger or other commercial vehicles)  Men's A Leagues All Stars Pty Ltd manager so he must be better than all the scummy Aussie coaches.

Look how that turned out.

Robbie Fowlers appointment as manager was pretty similar with lack of managerial experience from memory

I'm actually in favour of his appointment. No such thing as bad publicity and all that.

Fuck me you're such a miserable bunch of pricks. 

Hope the 8 of you whingers with 15 accounts enjoy your life and this forum when the season ends and beyond.

Go United 

He is only 50 FFS.Fergie was still going well into his 70's.

I thought you would like him as it was your uncle Frank that originally brought him out to Australia.

Wonder   who   else   they   will   try   to   wheel   out ... ?

One of Danny Townsends 35 ?

Yeah who could’ve guessed that after one of the world’s most famous footballers retired, and then coached in a country he played in. 

Probably costs 5 x as much as a proper manager as well. 

Now been announced by the club.

To be fair, the local A League coaches haven't exactly been showing much. 

you  can't   make  this   up ...

Mc Cows or McBulls...

Appointed purely on Name Recognition. Well done Cows.

And they're wondering why know ones turning up

South Park cows 

MacArthur i would imagine.
