Some Guy! Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I'm stunned! Oh wow! I applied for the Australia job, expecting to be hailed as some kind of hero, being known as the best manager around, leading Derby to Lyon like success in England and Europe... Instead, it went to Mathew Wilson, a 32 year old new manager (regen) with a national reputation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elgreenio Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 lol, i like the way you nonchalantly big yourself up in the other thread only to be shot down by the mighty socceroo's . Regen managers ftw (i'm guessing he is an Aussie regen) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some Guy! Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 Couldn't you have added this to your other thread? No, it wouldn't make any sense to do so, as this is a completely different issue. Just because something can be linked doesn't mean that everything should end up in the same thread. Otherwise we could rationalise just one huge thread for everything. This is entirely about how I was somehow turned down for the Australia job in favour of some unknown just generated regen manager. The other thread was about my question of whether Australia winning the World Cup would be a good or bad thing for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, I guess I'll have to stick to destroying the Premier League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elrithral Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 The other thread was about my question of whether Australia winning the World Cup would be a good or bad thing for me. And the answer has been given in this thread. It was a bad thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some Guy! Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 And the answer has been given in this thread. It was a bad thing. Well, I hadn't foreseen this possibility at the time. ...stupidly... Oh well. To prepare my side for another huge season, and sell a member of the old guard for massive profits! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsk360 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 maybe they just wanted an Australian? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryknow Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Managing in England and Europe doesn't mean you have any knowledge of Australia and the Asian clubs. Also you need to prove yourself on the national stage before being accepted, easiest way is with an African nation who seem to accept anyone. Just because your a great club manager doesn't mean you can do anything for a national team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because your a great club manager doesn't mean you can do anything for a national team. My second nationality is Australian (really should be my first in truth). Anyhow, I've already got a World Cup and a EURO to my name as England manager. 5 of the first XI have me under their favoured personel and 3 of them currently play in my Derby side.

heaps31 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I've had a similar problem... I think they only hire australians for some reason. (By australian I mean if it's your first nationality because my second one is also australian and first is english) I've won everything there is to win in europe with both betis and aston villa, as well as winning everything I could whilst managing an australian side for 2 years. I've even proven myself on the international stage having taken a fairly weak Uruguayan team all the way to the World Cup Final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skintsaint Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Maybe you was too good for the job and they didnt want you quitting when a bigger offer comes in which would probably happen within 6 months? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
