Dear Melbourne Heart fans…

Dear Melbourne Heart fans,

At the risk of being unpopular, shouted down, laughed at, spat on (OK not that one, we aren’t MV fans) etc. I think we should Back JA. Yes I know most of you think the B should be an S but I don’t see we have a choice. I am not suggesting we accept mediocrity, in fact the opposite. I just believe (the club) don’t have the funds to cover the sacking or the money to seek a viable option. JVS has already publicly stated he would not take the role (at least that’s how I remember it) and we must give Aloisi MORE time.

The season is only in its infancy and we haven’t been that bad. We dominated for 60 minutes against the Champions and we played reasonably well against the Roar in the first half.  The derby was a dour draw and the Glory game was very average.

I don’t normally post topics (unless it’s plugging my blogs on ‘From the Stands’) or back Aloisi to be honest but I believe he is receiving a rough deal at the moment.  This is the first season he has been able to choose his own squad (last season was ravaged by sales and injuries) and without Harry Kewell, Patrick Kisnorbo and Orlando Engelaar it does leave a massive hole of both experience and skill.

Let’s BACK JA this Friday night and really get behind the club. Last season I was very anti-Aloisi so this is a fresh approach I am taking, hopefully the right one.

Before judging John we should at least give him the next month. This is the most important month in our history. No, I am not understating this. I truly believe this month could make or break the club.

Nov 8 vs. Western Sydney (Home)

Nov 15 vs. Sydney (Home)

Nov 24 vs. Newcastle (Away)

Dec 1 vs. Adelaide (Home)

If we don’t manage 8+ points in these games it will leave us languishing in a precarious position and the tenure of Aloisi could well be under pressure.

Being a head coach/manager in football is one of the toughest gigs in our great game and it’s a cut throat industry. Time is not normally a coach’s friend but I firmly believe we should give Aloisi at least another four weeks.  If not at least remember him for his penalty, not his coaching career thus far.

Hopefully I will see you at the game this Friday night. This is a massive game for the club and we must remember we are on the national stage with SBS giving us our first free to air coverage of the season.

See you at the game.

Hardsy
