Now we know that FFA are insisting they play Lang Park next year we know that Brisbane are not going to be able to afford the quality of players you need to win the A-League. 'The right style of play' does not win matches look at the result today.johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12598217628490483035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36679125.post-3643920437559439642010-01-09T12:11:57.227+10:002010-01-09T12:11:57.227+10:00I believe that the club needed a shake up and Ange...I believe that the club needed a shake up and Ange has done it. Moore hasn't been playing well for a while now and looks as if his hearts not in it so losing him doesn't seem like such a big deal (plus the club saves some money). I think he should be replaced by Kisnorbo in the national team as well.<br /><br />Brisbane wern't playing well under Farina this season, and apart from the heavy loss to Gold Coast, have been playing a much better style of football under Ange (in my opinion). I like the fact that he's giving the younger guys a go, and not playing unfit older players just because of their reputation or because of personal friendships.<br /><br />To blame dwindling crowds on the new coach or the departure of players doesn't seem right either. The first game of the season had a fairly big crowd. Those people need to stick by their team and rock up to games week in and week out regardless of results or politics if Brisbane is to stand a chance of survival.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06502456344002621118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36679125.post-44318225543350087032010-01-06T21:38:16.227+10:002010-01-06T21:38:16.227+10:00Happy to be wrong, but I think that Moore's co...Happy to be wrong, but I think that Moore's comments and the club's public statements now make Ange an 'interim' coach - and Moore will be happy with that. He has already said he would be happy to come back as coach.johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12598217628490483035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36679125.post-58125968383467551832010-01-06T21:35:43.227+10:002010-01-06T21:35:43.227+10:00Thanks Neil - yes Melbourne.

I worked for Geoff Lord a while back and he is one of the few people in Australia who has the flare and experience to make a sporting team profitable. Very few, outside the USA where they know about franchising, are. I remember seeing him at a Roar game in season one. he saw the potential Brisbane had when the QRoar board were stopping Miron from spending any money. In season 2, Lordy splashed out.<br /><br />Ed it may have infuriated some fans but what they have ended up with is worse. It was very interesting watching Fox Sports FC avoiding giving any details other than saying there is more to play out on Moore leaving. My point is the Moore always intended to leave the Roar - Ange gave him a 'reason' to use publicly - and Brisbane fell for it.<br /><br />I think it is a great shame that the Roar does not have the owners and management that could give Brisbane the team it deserves. And after creating a disaster by bringing in 2 new un-viable teams in Qld, the FFA doesn't seem to care less. It is the billionaire at the Gold Coast they are bailing out rather than where the potential fans are in Brisbane. Shame.johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12598217628490483035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36679125.post-6139949987107235052010-01-06T01:47:31.189+10:002010-01-06T01:47:31.189+10:00Yeh Gloat Neil... actually you have a point.

To be honest i think the fans deserved an explanation about why Moore was leaving, he forced the club's hand, to just let him slip off after the world cup would have infuriated fans.Edhttp://www.theroardeal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36679125.post-78771805899943038472010-01-05T18:31:05.507+10:002010-01-05T18:31:05.507+10:00"Fans want a strong club - like Adelaide (pre..."Fans want a strong club - like Adelaide (pre-the loss of their owner) or Central Coast or ....
