coz it's the ECC in there :P

strangely i do play it... wonder why ive never seen it

Is taht like "punishment" and "pyoonishment"? based souly on satirical value?

I calls it UCL, as well as ECL ..... depends when im saying it, its like the pronunciation of some words, you interchange between the two. Ill shut up now.

You don't play FM then :P I have to say, I dont' know anybody who calls it UCL.

well ive never seen it as ECL is all im used to shortening it to UCL for uefa... just wanted to be sure

Well yeah, i'm not going to type out "European champions league" each bloody time am I?

Second place gets you ingo the second round and first gets you into the third round of qualification I think, i can't really remember but I think that's right.

There's that too.

Got to define it now we compete in the ACL.

ECL? i assume you mean champions league, and yes he would, probably even happy enough at uefa cup level but for me the chances are still slim. what do the team need to come to make it? and then do they still have to go through quals?
i guess the other side of it is if he fails to get australia through then it could be seen as a wasted 2-3 years in his career.

The FFA would want a coach who's going to eb willing to come to australia and frequent the A-League matches. As for if he would be happy enough at Zenit...well, wouldnt' you be happy there coaching ECL football??

are you sure relocating is part of the job description? im sure its whats wanted but right now id take him based anyway as we really need a new coach before the WC quals begin.

it may be a massive cut buts its still 2mil or something a year, he wont exactly go broke. i think it would actually be quite an attractive offer to come live in australia. i guess itll just come down to whether hes happy enough at zenit or not.

It's not all about the money, but why should he take a massive cut in earnings to coach australia and relocate when he can stay where he is?

if its all money youd think hed be at another club though? surely advocaat has a good enough CV to get him a better club money-wise.

you might be right but i really hope not, because its bad if thats whats become of coaches.

I'm tempted to disagree since there is more money in the ECL for him if you add it all up.

hes also offered about double the money for staying at zenit though i wouldnt be sure he wont leave... im sure world cup is more appealing to him than UCL

No he wouldn't, because he would spend the entire time bemoaning the lack of quality players and not work on youth at all.

Zenit are still on target for europe, so i'm going to say no.

He would be worth every damn cent.

probably looking for an 8 figure sum

They think he will save our team. Mourhino is better and free.

Advocaat will tell the board of that club hes with in under 2 weeks whether or not he will coach aus

You would think that there would be more than just talk on cable TV if there was an international friendly a month away. And why do people keep fucking talking about Advocaat??!! :@

Pfft thats just Cockerill making shit up like he always does. He is the only one that has mentioned the Nigerian game scheduled for a month away. He is the only one thats "confirmed" that Advocaat is the new coach. No other source is stating this stuff.

It seems the fox has outwited us yet again =d>

The official word from the FFA (as of seconds ago) is that the Nigeria game is just speculation at the moment.

When it's confirmed, we'll put it up.

well maybe that should have wrote it a week ago?? lol

:-" My bad, but the headlines disappear quickly, as long as you're taking suggestions...have three headlines or something.


Indeed.

The Del Piero one is from the Press Association, not the 442 journos, so they didn't actually "write" it.

nothing on the nigeria game and that thing about Del piero leaving... you just wrote it today when the the president said he "could leave" around a week ago...

Still nothing on Socceroos v Nigeria.

Tsk - 2.35pm today.
