Harry ----- not happy with Arnold ! !

[midfielder]

Interesting little article from the age. We don't have an Arnold OUT thread but if true this is interesting.

Also would help explain why FL has said GA bring back a medal or Bye Bye.

Why Harry's not happy

INTERESTING background emerging as to why Harry Kewell didn't try to follow the path of world soccer's big names such as Ronaldinho and Lionel Messi in representing his country at next month's Olympic Games. The reason may well be that Australia's coach in Beijing will be Graham Arnold. We hear the relationship between the pair is strained to the point that, according to Kewell's manager, Bernie Mandic, when the champ recently changed his mobile number he gave express instructions that it was never to be given to Arnold

Farkkkkinnnnng knew it!
I KNEEEWWWWWWW ITTTTTTT!!!!!

Oh boy does this PISSSSSSSSSS MEEEEEEEE OFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!



Bring back a medal...? Hah! Even if Barca duck taped Messi to their stadium, I can't see us getting out of the group stages.

Shit I'd love to be wrong...

ARNNNNNOOOOOLLLLLLDDDDDDD!!!!

Sadly, I hope your not wrong. If it means Arnold is sacked and not asked back to the Australian coaching fold again, id take three 5-0 defeats

HARRY...not happy with Arnold!!

geez, who is really...?

 

[Blackadder]

Wouldn't hold your breath on Arnold being goneski even if they fail to win a game.
FFA have the spine of a Jellyfish.

I feel Arnold will be gone as coach of the under 23 team after the olympics but he's contracted with the ffa to work for them till 2010 and i cant see them terminating his contract

He could do the half-time oranges until his contracts up.

He'd probably make an arse of that as well.

Couldn't stomach that sort of result, but I'd be happy if we got three 0-0 draws (or 3 x 0-1 losses)and bowed out more gracefully. ARNOLD OUT.

Lets hope he picks up his dream job coaching an 8th division side in the netherlands

wasn't it hiddink who recommended arnold for coach which resulted in this contract? worst thing gus has done

 

[FFC Mariner]

Harry's (reported) comments together with the spineless performances in the Asian cup and "unavailability" of certain players for the Olympics would seem to indicate that players think he is an utter knob too.

Much as this grieves me to say it, GVE would be an excellent replacement (full time of course)

Does it _have_ to be an absolute drumming that gets him the flick??  I'd like to think I'm going all that way to watch something half decent y'know??

*takes a look at the squad*

Then again.......  :-[

 

[FFC Mariner]

But wouldnt you just love to be able to say that you were there to see the end of this NSL throwback??

Watching his little face crumble as the taunts ring round the ground??

 

[T]

How he has lasted this long is a mystery

I'll have to check with the Red Army guards when I'm there if that's in the official manual of chanting......

T - those photo's he has of Frank Lowy might be the reason - or perhaps he knew about his dodgy tax returns??    Which are public now btw, so ARNOLD OUT!!!!!

Fair enough.... blackmail does have its uses, but FFS, didn't Asia proove that some things aren't worth hanging onto??

What little I remember of the Asia Cup was us chanting Arnold Out before the Oman game had even started............ then a blur of booze, rain, and other 'things'.  So yes, you probably have a point.

Ruben is in the squad. Say no more.
