Cant wait for Pim to fuck off!! the most boring football brain ever seen, bring back terry venables!! the old bastard loved him! he gave harry his 1st start & im sure he would give plenty of other new boys a go.

Buckley nothing but a Demetriou clone. Give Craig Foster a go he thinks he knows all about the game

Yeah, ask Robbie Slater about how loved Venables was...



You must be a f*cking "Heineken" clone, cause that's the most retarded comment of the day.

That guess is based on your in-depth, intimate knowledge of football managers, is it?

Based on decades of working with them at the top level, no doubt.

LOL.

Please.

Reason are you Ben Buckley?

why has the FFA sprung this story now? Probably to take the focus off the crap that's going on in the Socceroos camp in Sth Africa? Sounds like there's something not quite right in Sth Africa with the FFA / Verbeek / and team...

Venables? LOL... I'm here in London watching his stupid singing ads on TV in between the WC games... please not Venables... anyone but Venables

I doubt this is JUST Buckley's judgement alone - like the appointment of Fury's coach, It's LIKELY Han Berger is having a strong say in the appointment of the next coach!

No top-class manager is going to want to do this job for four years. We're going to be choosing from the next crop, the next step down from that, the managers that have the potential and that want to make themselves into the elite managers in a decade's time. We have to sell ourselves and the manager's four year investment as a stepping stone to that goal.

probably another (boring) Dutchman...

My Dear Lappin - Eddie Thomson Gave HARRY KEWELL his INTERNATIONAL DEBUT in a FRIENDLY V CHILE. HARRY was JUST 17.

They should wait until they've seen my resume 8-[

It's not his job to hire the man in the end. The last say will go to someone with more technical knowledge anyway. We have a technical director for a reason.

Or we could hire someone with a little more coaching skill. Like a house brick.

Andrew Johns is looking for work...

Apparently Kevin Sheedy has applied... he wants to take the AFL gospel to the world.

IIRC, we saw the same spiel before we hired Verbeek and he was our third choice coach after the two coaches we actually wanted turned us down. Sounds like the search is going well.

Reason
why, Reason it's the person we've been waiting to turn on this whole time. you.

I have a few house bricks laying around my house doing nothing! ha

I would think that a good knowledge of football would be helpful when appointing a coach for the national team and technical directors.

Can you imagine him interviewing an applicant and asking how the applicant intended on playing and developing the national team... The applicant then talking of formations, styles, etc., making comparisons with other nations, players, etc. Talking of coaching systems, philosophies, etc., and all the time Ben smiling blankly back, nodding his head and thinking "sounds good, I wish I knew what he was talking about though"

Buckley has offered Graham Arnold more money than the Mariners did.

Whoever they pick, he'll renig on the agreement and go coach a Russion billionaire's club side.

Then we'll pick some arrogant out of work Dutch prick who couldn't give a shit about Australian football.

Sound familiar?
