Don't get me wrong I can totally understand why people aren't jumping up and down with the coaching appointments made, I suppose I'm just trying to try and look at it a bit differently, I think there's a bit too much emphasis by us supporters on past CVs and the like when if you actually look at some of the successful coaches in SL over the years not all of them had great CVs before becoming successful with the clubs, there's more to it than just previous successes.
I think also a lot will come down to expectations, my expectations after the last few years are so low I'll be happy with just enjoying going to the games without the fear and nervousness of relegation hovering over us, perhaps my expectations are too low (and I hope the squad and coaches are a lot higher!) but that's where I'm at.
The thing is though re-CV's Powell had already established a good connection with the Acadamy & knew the 1st Team set up so knew exactly where the youngsters were going to come through & build round them which he did.
He may not have won a Trophy but he re-built after Lance had a short clueless reign.
Tony Smith was "well known" as an up & coming Coach with great ideas & a blueprint to take us further forward which worked.
Bluey had done a great job with the Kiwis & was the right man at the right time.
McD had worked under Smith knew the Club the players & had experienced success with Smith.
Agar Webster Jjb Walker etc NONE of them falli nto that category ok Furner was highly rated as an Assistent after a turbulent time at Canberra & it didnt work out.
