Muscat needs to go on a 2-3 year sabbatical to europe to further his coaching and knowledge of the game. I think hes made of the right stuff to be a top manager, been a leader his whole playing career and has that streak of mongrel that every top manager needs.
If he goes and increases his knowledge base like ange did, I can see him becoming a very successful manager down the track - but right now he's limited, predictable and has gone as far as he can. Victory are stale and like archie mentioned, hes basically got them playing the same way they were when he took over from ange.
On a different note, how refreshing is it to see some young talent coming through finally?? Theoharous, Arzani & Atkinson are huge talents. Problem is they aren't/wont be given enough of a go to fastrack their development giving them every opportunity to become future stars.
If the A league want to take the next step and get out of this BS musical chair scenario they have going where the same old duds change teams every transfer window, they must start playing the kids. Try it and they may just be surprised to see fans like myself come back to the game - I refuse to pay money to go watch the crap on display these days. Has really gone downhill the past few seasons.
