Is starting to sound like Greenacre will be coach. Wonder if Danny Hay will be involved. DOF? Someone like Rob Shearman would be a good pick for that role.
Plans for the men’s team already appear to be well advanced. “We’ve already made a deal with a director of football operations,” Foley told Stuff. “He’s in a situation where he has to wait a few days before we can announce him.
“We’re interviewing coaches. We have one primary coach that we’re really interested in, but we’re vetting a number of other coaches, and I believe we’ll have a coach in place within two weeks.
“We have to get ready for the January window. We’re going to sign really good players. We’re not going to fool around. We’ll use all our visa players and we’ll sign marquee players. We’ll probably spend too much in the first two years.”
Asked about the director of football specifically, Foley said: “He has to leave the job he’s doing right now and give the proper notice and so on. We think we’ll be able to announce something within a week or so.
“He knows New Zealand really well. He’s not an Aussie.”
