Gone and hopefully forgotten

Just had a fox news alter that Kossie has replaced Coolen as coach of adelaide United.

Happy Days

[EdDog]

holy shit. stunned.

[Nash]

wonder if rumors are true that he'll be sticking around under a different role. very keen for the official press conference.

surely Kossie is only here til the end of the season, then re-evaluate if he stays on. looks like all his articles were worth it!

Christ, this came outta nowhere.

Adelaide United to get a new coach - former coach John Kosmina

Not sure what to think yet, but something definitely had to change

[Ray]

Fair play to the Board, they had to make the decision because the club was being destroyed at a rate of knots under Coolen's reign this season. Kosmina is the right man at this point in time, someone who know what this club is all about and can transmit that to the players is crucial right now. Results were not the problem in his reign, the style of Football was not as silky as some may have liked, but you never know, if certain players decide to return to the club I'm sure Kossie could have us playing good Football with passion. Not sure about Coolen staying in youth development or Petrillo staying as Director of Football given Kossie's missives against him in the paper of the late. We shall see how that works out.

In the short term this will fire either way. Kosmina will get them fired up for sure. But I know from experience, and have been burned by Howard Kendall's second and third comings, that make me cynical.

[lufcmike]

I agree David
In the short term this could be the boost that not only the players need but also the fans as well.
I know its cheered me up greatly.

Although your right about second comimgs, I'm hoping this return is more like the red side of scoucerville with Mr K Dalgliesh that your tribulations with Mr Kendall

[David Votoupal]

Some, like Alan Buckley at Grimsby (his 2nd spell), Luigi Simoni at Genoa (replicated his first), etc worked out well. Not just Kendall's return, even Eddie Gray at Leeds would fit in there- his first spell (1982-85) *nearly* pulled off a return based on bringing in the youth through.

In the short term i think this will work out,

But i am worried how we may set up asia under kosmina, though he has trani to back him up so it may work.

Still , i wanna see okon incharge next year

Does Kossie has all the coaching badges required to coach ACL?
Well i did mention weeks ago the club should get Kossie in some form to fire up the lads. i'm not sure if it was in this position. I think Rini will do well in the youth development position. That appears to be a passion of his.
Good luck Kossie!
And Rini we'll always have MV @ AAMI! 4-1 to the Adelaide!

yes good point about the badges. Don't think they want Rini to stay on as development position. Be interested if any of the old guard come back into the fold. Carl Veart is a person people rate highly for his knowledge would be a good addition.

Alex fergusson has had money since day dot.

[ADEL-GOONERS]

[sevengoals]

So it's not a dream...
Welcome back Kosmina!
