I'm not surprised after the past season that Merrick was sacked. He didn't bring in new players needed such as a tall centre-back to fill Victory's weaknesses which is why we kept coughing up soft goals at set pieces. Still he won two championships and made three GFs in 6 years so he leaves as the most successful A-league coach so far.

Durakovic is interim coach for the ACL but I bet Melbourne would now love to poach Ange from Brisbane and bring him home.

Durakovic is ex-South as well amongst a group of 5 NSL clubs he played for. Maybe Ramps will turn  :lol.

You blokes are all kidding yourselves. Melbourne Victory Pffft .... your all just a bunch of South hangers on getting all our ex champions to control your destiny. Ange wouldnt piddle on Victory if it was on Fire, he wouldnt want to dehydrate  :lol and waste his energy on rabble like them.

The South will Rise Again.

Ange Postecoglou leads Brissy to a fine championship win. The first real champion since the A League began. Ange Postecoglou a proud South boy! Well done Ange!

You obviously didn't hear Ange P on the Morning Glory on Friday Flagman  ;D

He was very high in his praise of the Melb Victory and went as far as describe them as the benchmark club in the A-League and the one that other clubs should model themselves on to bring in crowds, sponsors and members  :o

With Kruse heading off to Dusseldorf we needed a good replacement. It still looks like we are keeping the same defence though which leaked soft goals from set pieces  :P.

Durakovic might put on the boots himself. A very capable stopper and sweeper in his day.

Scored important goals for the Socceroos too.

Word is Roy Keane may end up as the new manager of the Victory.
