Who's signed for next season

[Jumbinho]

Val's article now says that Josep is heading to New York City, and Amor is expected to be our next head coach.

Gombau leaving would be disappointing.

If amor stays then we can recover but if not then wtf is with signing and selling players and leaving before season starts

I think the key thing we needed to win something this season is stability.

Between the transfers, player unrest over pay, rumours of Jeggo being unhappy about not being allowed to go trial at Sturm Graz and now potentially Josep leaving... the classic AU pissant implosion is imminent.

Val has updated that aticle and states gombau is linked to a new york mls club and armor will take over.

Dissapointing but im ok with thisbecause amor is well.......a barca legend and knows his stuff.

I did wonder last year if Amor was our succession plan, he even stated he wanted to get into coaching first team football so i can only assume the possibility of gombau moving on was accounted for and josep even put a contigency in place.

Yeah, gotta say Amor taking over is the least worst outcome if Gombau leaves.

It's not an implosion yet...

Val must be in heaven now, I bet there was a huge smile across his face as he wrote that article.

If this is what is going down, just wait for him at the presser.

I don't doubt that Amor has some good attributes but I do feel like there's something a bit special about Josep. He seems to be very good at getting the best out of players as well as his general tactical ability.

Losing a strong character like Josep is going to have a negative effect on us. I don't mean to be completely pessimistic, things might turn out great but I have concerns.

Jesus Christ. Every three years, the pissantry strikes.

I really dont follow.

If he leaves we would still have the same basic managment and style still at the club, we will be heading in the same direction.

Having a barca legend and ex director of la masia who already knows our squad inside out now running our club on the pitch is hardly an implosion.

Any other club outside of europe would be doing cartwheels right now

[Jumbinho]

I can understand that Josep would want to take an opportunity in NY working with his old Barca mates in the CFG, but I have the sad feeling that our owners incompetence/stinginess is part of the equation.

It was a fun two years while it lasted. Hopefully if amor is going to take over we can avoid complete pissant implosion.

Why sign a contract extension, only to leave? He's also the reason a heap of our players signed on.

Similar to the end of Ange at Brisbane...

Mabil signed an extension and left the club.

It would not be as if josip has just ditched us left us with nothing, it seems he is leaving us in a could place and in good hands

I'd hope so. New York City FC is the strong rumour. SBS reporting that one of Amor's contacts may have been behind the move.

[Stuckey]

Sounds like the Babalj signing might be a loan deal.

a loan from who? He's not contracted to anyone.

He's got a contract with AZ till 2017.

His profile also lists him as an AUFC player now.
