So does that mean Uffy is free to come to us?
Official Dwight is announced as manager
As said above I am excited to see him back in the A-League in some capacity. Best of luck to him and hope he can bring some excitement to Macarthur. If they start doing right by fans interest in South West Sydney could really lift.
Even if he was, do we really want him? His management seems a bit more hard-nosed than Corica, but otherwise he sets his teams out the same way tactically. I just donât see us making sufficient improvements overall.
Letâs see how he goes. If he seems to do well, we can just steal him from those losers.
I personally donât want him. Another ex-player thatâs not all that interesting. Wouldnât want Aloisi or Talay. We need something fresh (if we donât stick with Corica).

Dwight to Macarthur is just bizarre, laziest âworld-wide searchâ ever if it only includes who was already coming to town for a piss-up anyways.
Should be entertaining, obviously polar opposite personality to Milicic, but youâd think there will be quite a few local coaches whoâve actually earned a crack just shaking their head.
I feel like he was in the country, ran into the owners out a a nightclub and they signed him at 4am after a few rounds.

Heâs been offered to a number of clubs, has been keen to do a managers stint in Australia, the All-Stars thing was an intentional vehicle for an AL gig.
Yeah, who would want a manager who has rebuilt a side twice in 2 years, brought through the youth and reached the finals this year while having to play 90%+ games not only away from home but in another country.
Who would want a manager that made 3 grand finals in a row and won 2 of them? Ostensibly not a lot of people on here.

I get the angle of Dwight and his people whoring him around, just surprised anyone took the bait. Itâs very Fowler-esque.
The Wanderers?
They seem happy to live on past glories.
Iâm surprised and not surprised by the all night Dwight picking up a contract here. Iâm kinda glad it wasnât us because it has all the hallmarks of a tremdous failure.
The moment I knew heâd picked up the All Stars job, I had an inkling he was looking for a gig at an A-league club.
Itâs a gamble certainly, and a gamble by a club that could see it all come tumbling down in a gigantic heap if it doesnât work out. Itâs going to be interesting as this is his first coaching/managerial gig. Heâs been doing punditry in the UK since he retired, so I think he sees this as a safer option rather than playing around in the English lower leagues.
Robbie Fowlers foreign signings werenât anything special. Itâll be interesting to see who comes under Dwight.
They werenât, but overall they did alright out of it. The only foreign signing that didnât do anything good was Amadi-Holloway.
They were solid no-name squaddies, but I think a few people were expecting a slightly known name, rather than a bunch of League 1 & 2 randoms.
Granted, The Bakries probably gave him no budget to do so.
I had thought the same, but to be honest, I wasnât expecting it to happen so quickly; maybe closer to the season starting.
Pretty sure he had stint in charge of the Trinidad & Tobago national team around the time he retired.
Is that an actual quote though???
Yeah, wiki vandalism strikes again with credulous idiots like me
