Some players (i.e. ones who are more on the outer) are unhappy with the coach shock. They’ve gone from “player power ousts coach” a few years back to to “player power of those with mates in the right positions ousts coach”.
Good luck to the fuckwits at the FFA if they think they can make everyone happy, the dozy cunts. Welcome to competitive sport you absolute deadshits.
Does anyone have much enthusiasm left about the coming WC and this laughable tournament on in a couple of weeks? Good luck shifting any further tickets to that, FFA.
Heyman was always shit anyway. She never scored and was right to be left out of late given our current strike force available. It would be like continuing to pick Juric when you had Mbappe available.
Not sure any of the a-league coaches want the short term appointment. But a coach with no women’s experience vs one with no international experience is maybe 6 of one and half a dozen of the other.
Milicic didn’t even apply but in a completely fair search that wasn’t prioritising any current employees Milicic to get it l. I really hope the players go on and have a great tournament as they really deserve it but FFA have really disrespected them with the handling of this
Shocking press release too. The main adjective in the first sentence was “Australian”, and then they went on to mention “a wealth of experience” without even one mention of something he’s done.
It’s crazy to think of just how much the FFA have blown this. Going in to this World Cup making the semis or even the finals was not out of the realm of possibilities. Now we essentially go into a World Cup with an interim coach while FFA look for a long term successor for the next Cup cycle.
I’ve spent more time trawling Twitter than I dare admit the last month. Just had a ferret around to see if ANY player has yet commented on Milicic, and found this absolute chestnut.
It’s only Twitter ramblings, but check the top post allegedly sent by the all knowing LyndaTaylor76 to a current Matilda. Then check the newspaper clipping further down the trail to see if you can pick who the real owner of that account is.
And then there is this article in the Financial Review
“…it should not be incumbent upon victims to come forward with complaints when there is a widespread problem of discrimination and harassment in the workplace… it would be preferable to see institutions conducting a gender audit, rather than just relying on victims to come forward.”
That’s a completely reasonable thing though, but no one is suggesting that it is done in place of an investigatory process following on from the finding of any audit. The lack of that process seems to be the problem here.
