1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Football stole the sporting show over the weekend, didn't that?

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: The Phoenix losing to Aalkland. That's nothing new? Five mil

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: is though, and so's the resignation that followed. G and

4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: Carlo were Telliano's off. The team still has eight games

5
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: the currently tenth. Former coach Ricky herberts with us on

6
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: this Ricky Morning.

7
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 2: Yes, good morning house, thanks very well.

8
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: Indeed, would this have been brewing for a while in

9
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: his mind or was this literally a one off? Do

10
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 1: you reckon?

11
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 2: Yeah? Good point. Actually difficult to know, you know, I

12
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 2: think sort of the context of the season, how it

13
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 2: was going, probably reflection on the previous season as well.

14
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 2: But I think, yeah, clearly the derby contest and the

15
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: way that's gone since Aukland's joined the league has been

16
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 2: very challenging for the Phoenix. So I guess, you know,

17
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: Chiv you know, has taken it on his chin and

18
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: he's reacted by stepping aside.

19
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: Does it solve anything, Well, Tom will tell one't work.

20
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,959
Speaker 2: I think you know, what's what's right? When do you go?

21
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,839
Speaker 2: When's the right time to do that? And I think

22
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 2: that can only be a personal decision. I think he

23
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: very clearly felt it was time to step aside and

24
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: maybe have a breath of fresh air and somebody coming in,

25
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 2: maybe with some new ideas and new structure around the team.

26
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: But who would want it? I think who would want it?

27
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: And what could they do given this? You know, the

28
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: You're in the middle of the season.

29
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,839
Speaker 2: Look, there's sill eight games to go, and I think,

30
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: you know, the season, in my opinion's not written off.

31
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 2: You know, I think it's a crazy year. I think

32
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 2: a lot of teams are losing quite regularly in the competition,

33
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 2: so I think there's still everything to play for. But

34
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 2: you know, somebody'd have to step in and turn it

35
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 2: around immediately.

36
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, nice to talk to you, Rockie, appreciate it. Ricky Herbert,

37
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: Who's been there, done that. Of course.
