We Are The Reds

For me Adelaide is/has become the A League equivalent of St Kilda in the AFL, a team that flatters to deceive, but has a bad off field culture. We have a group of players that have got rid of 3 coaches and if they don't like this one ( for any reason) will engineer his demise. And that WILL happen w...

I forgot Robbie Fowler!!!!

Paddy is Leeds

Could do well for us. (We could do a lot worse - see current line up of defenders) Was highly regarded by the Leeds supporters Good defender and knows how organise and marshal the defence and midfield. Is used to playing for a struggling club. Could only sign on a year to year deal as injuries have ...

You can just imagine the first day of training, when our new ex Barca spanish marque arrives. For arguments sake we'll call him Lionel . Scene: Hindmarsh Stadium on cold clear late June/ early July morning. After introducing the new chum to the team, Jo lines up the all the players on the edge of th...

I assume that "Aussie Jo" can speak English but I think we might hear Spanish from time to time Expect to here these words and phrases when he meets and sees the side train: Burro (noun).........donkey mierda (noun)........shit basura (noun)........rubbish el plonko (noun).....plonker infutuoso (adj...

Another 457 taking an Aussies job! Seriously lets hope its someone who is a central defender with some nouse and can organise the defence and midfield (Oggie style). I want to go to the first training session when Jo and Marti turn up and see what he has got to work with. Especially when he realises...

He wants to start an academy. If I was leading the club I'd give him ours! But... but... but that's Lucas' job! :p Let them run it together, would be great have 2 of the most one side players in the history of our club teaching the kids :lol: Good idea. As Lucas only had a right foot and Cassio onl...

Good Luck to him. He's going to need it, he has to change not only the clubs playing style but the corrosive club culture as well. He may be hungry but as I said before, the shit sandwich that is Adelaide United may be very very hard to swallow. But as a supporter and member I'm willing to give him ...

Its a hard one. He may be a great coach, but look at the shit sandwich he's gonna hav to bite into. We're not Barcelona or Real Madrid, more like Real Crap. It will take some time and a host of new talent for the club to start playing his style. And many of those at the club will be there for anothe...

I assume with the success of WSW maybe they think that this will translate into increased crowds/viewers/interest especially in the nations "real" capital. Maybe this may bring about the promotion and relegation system quicker, and get rid of the low crowd, poorly run under performers like Welly and...

cassio is the barometer of the whole squad. Anytime there is unrest, or some players attitudes are off the boil you can see it bothers cassio the most and it effects his game immensely. Think back to the vidmar days. When cassio is happy the whole squad is firing. When cassio is storming out of tra...

No tears from me if Cassio leaves. I reckon he would struggle to keep his place under the new coach and would not fair well in the youth league, magoos or whatever He plays one good game in 10 (if we're lucky) Has a penchant for the sulks, is slow and has only one foot. Only seems to score in trial ...

No matter who get as coach and irrespective if he brings his own staff or uses those already there. He will have the same problems that the 4 previous incumbents have had. There is serious behind the scenes white anting at the club, current and past board members through their surrogates on the play...

If Merrick gets the job at least we will have some on field tactics even if it is: Hoof it up, Thug it up.
Sure beats what had : Faff around, F#ck it up.

It also looks like those tactics are being used off field as well
