However, as Craig Forster one of SBS chief analyst likes to so vainly express (which I hardly oblige), that we need not a foreign big name coach that is just going to provide a quick fix.

But, rather like many SBS commentators including the late, great Johnny Warren has so passionately voiced. The problem with Australia is that if we are to ever break out and be really respected. This whole notion of a big name is just pure bollocks and what we in this country really need as OUR MAIN PRIORITY is to look long term.

By, long term with have already established this tall order in terms of gaining more competitive challenge of Asian oppenents and acceptance in Asia.

Now, I believe that unless we set up a system like those in Holland and France like Ajax and etc who continue to produce your Van der Vaarts and Arjen Robbens to replace those who get shipped to bigger European clubs.

I can’t see the A-league or the Socceroos surviving in the feist competitive football environment for long unless we have implemented a long term plan!

As I can say this without a gasp that the Houllier’s in this world come and go. But, talent and technical ability never fades!!!
