Official South Melbourne Hellas thread 🔵⚪

NK cant have been reffering to Tolios because it said the coach in question is at a Greek backed club. Dandy City are croatian. Im pretty sure they've been talking to JA but thats unlikely to go anywhere.

Really only 2 options now. Marinos obviously, and possibly Katsakis. We cant afford to be greedy here, just give it to Nick who can come in and start working with the squad immediately, we can reasses at seasons end hopefully. He can smoke on the bench for all i care lol.

If we end up with Minopoulos interim its curtains. He said we played well 2nd half lmao.

 

[southoftheyarra]

Sounds like Marinos could be a good transitional coach, get us over the line and reassess come NSD.

If the NK article is true whoever the coach is I’m starting to think they will be our NSD coach I unfortunately don’t think Estaban getting sacked hopefully I’m wrong

Ill be there ... Ill bring my pitchfork

Here's to the "masochist" in us!

There is only so long they can put this off really.....only problem is longer it takes, more of a chance it WILL be Minop with the excuse its too late in season to find any viable replacement.. that remains my (like others here) main fear rightly so and by some miracle if season isnt blown by then, it sure will be with him in charge!!!

Yeah I get it if I was running things Estaban would of been gone after the Avondale grand final and JA or Tolios would be coaching us

 

[Son of Sam]

Bye bye

So much for the High Five I gave him after he scored that last minute equaliser against Victory Youth!

 

[Pasquali]

So I've paid a lot of football manager and want to know if this is mutual termination or if they paid out his contract?

Most likely mutual termination since he walked out of the club

 

[Hellenic_blue&white]

Bye bye

Thats only half the good news we need right there!

 

[southmelb]

I feel a bit sorry for him. The clubs predicament is not his fault. I could see him being useful in a ball playing team as the target forward but it seems we just went to Europe looking to find the tallest player we could get. This is on the club.

Yeah i get what you mean and we had said as much initially, but from what i saw of him, i dont think he was suited for a fast pressing ball playing side either...the impression he left me was of a player too slow on the ball, of limited reaction and strength and no high game which was supposed to be half the role he was to fill.

 

[Hellenic_blue&white]

Just a thought out loud and im not saying it wouldve worked and Im not a manager, but given the traction you would want to create for the AU champ etc why not have tried enticing someone like Vellios playing in Cyprus for salamina or Ioannidis (Nikolaos) playing in kosovo ffs, 30yo strikers that are playing in lower sides with full careers and national team appearances etc... would they have been worse than shopping at IKEA?

Fingers crossed they are saving a 'marquee' player for NSD or late season transfer window (even better). You would think that the board want to give the NSD a red hot go...

Didn't use him the the right way 80% of the time, could have been quite decent as an off the bench player i.e Jessy Dailey. However its NPL, and I don't know that clubs 'invest' in projects like Moller, remember Dorron?

 

[Son of Sam]

Any journalist worth his salt should contact Moller and ask him for some dirt!!

 

[southmelb]

it wasn’t for the fact that Port Melbourne are broke and Victory are kids with a chopping changing lineup every week we would truly be staring at relegation this season.

You do realise 3 teams get relegated this year right?

My understanding is a lot of the Victory kids end up leaving after the A league season.

Regardless that still means South have to finish above one of Altona, Gully, Knights etc. Right now we are worse than all of those teams.

Agree on Dailey, and Moller was certianly not used correctly but i just didnt see the glimpses others may have .. Dorron the GK we got, the one that came as a package with Beckett from memory? He flactuated more than the Dow Jones in the season we had him...
