Would he be better as TD than team coach?

LM would be a bad move as manager IMHO. He brings neither style nor flair to his playing style or his off field value.

As TD at most, but as manager/coach is not a wise move.

Yeah he'd be best as a TD for sure. Although I can see why they would look at him as a possible appointment. That being said I don't think there's anything to it. I haven't seen anything anywhere apart from that one brief little story on FSN.

Its been a lot of years since I lived and played in the region but my impression would be that most would want to see the club play a highly technical style of play. Is that still the same?

Most definitely, that's why I think almost every fan would be against McKinna being named manager.

The desire to make a career out of being a football manager was one of the reasons he left CCM as TD.

And yes I would have thought WS would want to see an attractive style of play. A whole lot of youth born and raised in the west playing good football and seeing them go overseas and succeed seems to be the general culture i'm getting

Lawrie would be a good choice as 'Football Operations Manager'. The style of play isn't set by this person but by the technical director or first team manager. Lawrie is exactly the type of person you need to connect to the old NSL clubs, schools, grassroots clubs, the local media and the local community.

Another for the role would be Bozza - who has a real West Sydeny connection but is probably too tied up with Fox.

Lawrie is definitely coming back to Australia.

would not prefer LM, i would rather okon, millicic, popovic or mulvey

Mulvey and Okon would be my prefered options.

Milicic I want as the MH coach for next year :)

milicic for head coach, and genc as his assistant

The idea of the unicorn is growing on me.

Can't wait until next season. We can join in on all this hate between clubs. \:d/

FUCK WELLINGTON.

DEATH TO ADELAIDE.

:shock: Were giving this league a name in asia, when you make it to the final then start the death wishes

Phoenix played their first pre-season warmup about 4 months after NZ Knights' last game, from memory.

Western Sydney have more time than that to pick up GCU's slack from scratch.

Aye, but Wellington had half the squad of NZ Knights (the half that weren't shite) most of the administrative side, a coaching team, (if you recall ricki herbet worked wonders with the NZ Knights in their last half a dozen matches) Western Sydney do not, and so they have much more of a challenge ahead of them than Wellington.

^^ this.

Wellington were basically the offspring of NZ Knights. They had much less to do.

+1

One option on the survey I saw: West Sydney PFC (People's Football Club). Obviously Buckley's personal choice.

other interesting options included real west sydney and west sydney juniors, which both i have not heard mentioned at the forums

No. Just no - the game's enemies would have a field-day with the name. FFS have we not yet learned from 'Heart'?

Not keen on the unicorn.
A horse maybe?
Not unicorn

West Sydney Rainbowdash?



:twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Lucky you support Perth ... glory then. The thing is, I thought unicorns was a joke, but the more I thought about it the more I thought it could be appealing to families etc because it can be made more masculine or feminine to appeal to specific audiences. Just go to some tattoo bars to see how kick
arse it can be. And it has historical significance with all continental european and Anglo cultures. It originated in Greece and is even on the British coat of arms.

I think this could be a good chant if sung in numbers. Obviously without the dancing

I'm joking bro chillax. :lol:

It's worth watching just for that guys mustache :lol:

Now that Lowy and Tinkler have finished their acrobatics complete with double backflip to much applause from the fans and the Joint A League Soccer Circus has begun its death defying performance without even a minor accident I thought it might be time to return to arguably the most important event in the short history of the A-League, the establishment of a new professional football team in the western region of Sydney. Where is it up to? How is it going? When will we hear more? If a mining magnate walked in the door with a fist full of cash would we point him in WSFC's direction or tell him to piss off back to Queensland? How important is it for the new club to have seasoned professionals or Australian icons amongst its ranks as role models for the talented young westies that get a gig with the club?
