Not a fan but he will probably get us to direct qualification on the back of eight excruciatingly boring 1-0 wins, like the WSW champions league win.

To England?.
That match will go to penalties and continue eternally so nobody wins.

That was with 6 visa players. He is another Rudan. Can only win if he has the strongest squad. Adds nothing at all to improve players or the team.

He had nowhere near the strongest squad in that ACL campaign.
Agree he doesn't improve players but the one thing he is reasonably good at is getting the maximum out of average players.
That ACL squad had cole, golec, topor, haliti, hamill, Appiah, mullen, santalab, bridge and sotirio in it. Solid pros but he got the best out of them so the team was much greater than the sum of its parts.
They only had 3 foreigners in the final team - Saba, Poljak and la Rocca. Shinji and polenz had left at the end of the group stage (preseason window).
He's the interim coach you have when not having an interim coach - given we have 2 weeks to the next window.
He's available now, knows the Australian game, and is in all likelihood a lower cost than a foreign coach.

Yes misread that. I was talking about their premiership win.
Was on big money at Victory

It's all relative - 700k at vuk is big for the pub comp but not in international terms.
Venables got £400k in 96/97 and Hiddink was on base of $800k with $2m in bonuses (1 for qualifying and 1 for knockout round).
Southgate was on about £6m to manage England.
