AIS: Dick Van Dutch to replace Steve O'Connor?

With Steve O'Connor off to Sydney FC after twelve successful years at the AIS the rumour is FFA will advertise in Holland, I mean internationally, for a replacement.

The old Soccer Australia also advertised Internationally, (outside Holland) but one suspects this time the FFA have money and they are serious.

So how much Dutch does the new International AIS Coach need?


Current Assistant Ray Junna was spotted at the ACT name change office. Ray Van Junna Basten is the new name....he's never been to Holland. Buckley's and none Van Junna..apologies to Ben, and Ray for that matter.
Assistant Coach Paul Dyke Foster also spotted in the ACT name change queue..plays a nice flat, very flat ball. Will that be enough?
Alistair Edwards Holland, tall enough to be Dutch
Graham Dutch League Arnold. Excellent candidate. Even seen talking to Dutch people on a regular basis over the last few years.
Joey Ajax Didulica..AIS Graduate and still in Holland. Injured so could be a dark horse or a flat canal as we say in Nearpost Holland.

And apparently a CV sent from a Dutch email address, with an ecard full of Tulips are two unwritten criteria for the job.

Our money is on Branko "my son's at PSV" Culina or The Mariners Nigel Boogard's Dad, or someone with two aa's or uu's in their name like Henk Duut, Rob Baan.

Got it.

Alex Toobin surely!

Whoever gets the job, may the best Dutchman win!
