Perth Glory Thread

For sure, Castro is being an absolute dick about the situation, especially being the team captain. I’ve been quietly happy for Perth to get as far as they did in the finals so they could show their capabilities without Castro there. It’s pretty clear that their players have bought into that as well.

That said, I can’t help but wonder if Perth have contributed to this scenario a little bit by allowing Castro special dispensation in some situations, like to return late for pre-season as he has done previously. If that wasn’t permitted, perhaps Castro would know he couldn’t get away with special treatment.

Perth Glory’s coaching shortlist, according to the West Australian: - Hayden Foxe - Bobby Despotovski - Ernie Merrick - John Aloisi - Richard Garica - Chris Coyne - Damian Mori - Tony Vidmar - Neil Kilkenny (coaching clause in contract)

Not sure what Bobby has been up to, but surely Mori has the runs on the board?

Bobby D was coaching the W-League team I think.

Hayden Foxe has served a decent apprenticeship under Popovic - he may be worth a punt?

If the past few years at Wests have shown anything it’s that they should have at least given him a proper go.

Sorry, I thought he was still at WSW. Which would not be a vote of confidence from me.

If he’s at Perth, I’d still go Mori, just cause.

Good pool of former SFC players, the main criterion for coaching success these days :slight_smile: Foxe, Garcia and John Aloisi. That said, apparently Mori has done incredibly well coaching in Adelaide and is a Glory legend.

Mori or Foxe are well qualified. Rest are a bit meh. Mori works in such a parochial market.

Add another to the list of former Sydney FC players now in the A-League management game.

Perth Glory threatening to have Castro deported over the current contract dispute…

Tony P has called bullshit on that story.

Also these two tweets could make things interesting for their season start (assuming we have a season start)

Saw that they’re also hopeful of Castro signing on for another season. Bloke sure knows how to dodge a pre-season.

Is it just me or did Daniel Sturridge look like he had a number two haircut? What was all the fuss about?

I took the piss more than anyone (SHAKY HANDS I REBUKE YOU) but apparently there are quite big differences with Afro-Carribean hair (not sure if that’s the right phrase, apologies if not) vs other types. He posted something quite silly and potentially a poorly executed joke but he came off looking like a wanker. Having said that he was keen for someone with experience in cutting his type of hair which is fairly legit. Perth is a small bogan place so was probably hard.

I laughed at him but I “hate” food places that make the food of my heritage if they come from a different part of the country - too much cumin, I rebuke you.

Big learning in this for me about the haircut thing. If you’re reading Daniel, I apologise.
