Shopping list for the January window

[Rowdy]

Isn't Mulvey contracted for three years?

(fingers in my ears)
La la la la la la la la la la la la ......

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Aloisi now being on the market makes me suddenly hope that Mulvey hangs around for a bit longer...

 

[Antlion]

We'll end up with Rudan...

At least his getting results

We'll end up with Rudan...

Not likely, why would he come here? Surely he'd now have better options and he's not likely to get punted from 'Nix for a while.

If he can the bag of shite that has been the Nux around, probably deservedly so.

I don't think we can continue blaming the manager. The problem is we've got a whole heap of NPL level players, who in all fairness to them have tried their best but probably aren't going to reach A-League skill level. What we need to do is sign a manager/keep mulvey for a period longer then 1 year, get rid of the dead weight/players that are just here for a paycheck, let the manager build his team on the budget available and hope to god our finances improve in the future. That's the only option. We have no other option from what I can see.

While I agree with you that it's definitely not all down to the manager and we face significant hurdles other A-League clubs don't, Mulvey and his recruitment has contributed. Having at best two visa players playing every week makes it incredibly difficult to compete, especially when at least 2 of our 4 are not any better than regular Australian players. Mulvey had plenty of opportunities to mould his squad how he wanted in pre-season but he recruited poorly and is paying the price. I am not advocating for his removal, and we definitely need to keep him around as long as we kept Walmsley around, if only to ensure that prospective future coaches understand they will get a proper opportunity to reverse our fortunes.

 

[Tevor]

Agree whole heartedly JP, in my eyes he at least gets next season as well. If he can’t right the ship then nice knowing you MM. a knew Manager now would still have the same team and more than likely no Jan window options so what would be the point. Season is gone and maybe but I doubt it perhaps we can jag a win or two.

 

[Ancient Mariner]

Not expecting a lot of action in January, but there must be massive changes for next season. Many are coming off contract, one or two I would like to keep, but think we will may have to battle to keep them.
