Carl Robinson Appointed Wanderers Manager

... and so we wait in the passage of time until he is sacked ... 

Good Luck Taff, welcome to the club

His gonna need all the luck he can get to turn our mob around.

What does this mean for Haliti? Is he still around?

It’s a good appointment and not just because they got rid of JP. There is at least some logic in appointing a coach with a record of developing youth talent given the investment made in the academy. The inability to turn youth talent into a bigger stable of A-League starters has been one of our bigger failures in recent years. Also makes sense give the growing likelihood of a transfer system. 
 

I know the way it was done makes us appear a shambles. But sometimes you just gotta be decisive and act. I will, however, concede I may be giving the owners and managers more credit than they deserve (it’s a weird feeling).

As with any manager it's going to be results on the pitch that will decide whether this is a good move or not. We seem to be a shambles internally don't we.

Robbo if you dont finish 1st!!!! You're rubbish

A shambles would have been keeping JP until halfway through the season then dumping him and missing the finals again 

This is a good move, my only gripe is that they gave JP the job full time in the first place but no use crying over that now 

Here's an interview from Lawrie McKinna that gives a bit more insight into the situation.

McKinna seems to think we've contracted him for 3 years.

that is going to be a huge payout when we fire him in the first 6 months

He's probably put the same clause into our contract with him lol he'll be gone to Victory in 5 months.

I really liked how he seemed to be just straight up and told it how it was re contracts and such. Have to feel for the guy having to front up when everything is up in the air for Newy..

to replace Jean-Paul de Marigny who left the Wanderers following disagreements with management over the direction of the club.

This is part that worries me - I'd like to know what the disagreements were. I'm not convinced with the club's direction since Popa left us.

Perhaps it was a polite way of saying that they believed he was not up to the task of getting us into the top 4.

Time to fix a sinking ship #Robboatthewheel

This disagreement was that JP thought he should be the manager of WSW and WSW didn’t 

Let’s give the club some credit here, they have made the call to get rid of JP who’s results and style of football was poor and get in a guy who has both overseas experience and knows Australian football, and managed to do it before training starts and new players signed 

this is a good thing 

it’s going to be eetswa

Then why give him a permanent contract FFS and then dump him six months later

Who cares it’s done now, the permanent contract didn’t count for much 

Im hearing that the A League is partnering with Uber as part of the new player contract negotiations. All players will be independent contractors and be paid via an app like those Uber eats riders

As long as the fans get to leave star ratings after each match.

More and more I think JP was given the gig just to lock in something for the uncertain future. Until something better cane along

Sorry to disappoint you , but that wont be happening,  thats the reason jp left/sacked

When they come out and say "we're 100% certain we have the right man...." I feel like asking what % were the other managers we;ve had........

Had this in a previous thread, thought I'd add it here.

I hope the new coach's middle name is Patrick or something else starting with a P . So we can have his three initials on his jacket and provide the CPR we badly require.

I think this is a very positive move for WSW, time will tell if it is a successful move. I expect the next 3 weeks may tell a little more of the story by way of player appointments.

This is like any other business appointment, every day business gets it wrong on appointments and also gets it right.

My view is if the Robbo team is to be successful they need to be able to do their job and any roadblocks moved aside or out. 

Also the support from the shiny arse Management in allowing Robbo to appoint the correct playing staff to help him be successful.
