Save the Wellington Phoenix: Take 4! The CHRIS GREENACRE Story | EP47 - The Unused Subs

from The Unused Subs · host Goran Paladin

In the wake of Giancarlo Italiano's resignation, Chris Greenacre has been handed the keys to the Phoenix Kingdom for a 4th time, and he joins us on the bench this week to talk all about it. On the surface it seems to be going really well: back-to-back wins, 3 matches unbeaten, one point outside the A-League top six. But Greeny says his focus isn't on ladder position or the playoffs, it's all about the 90-minute performance at the weekend, and putting pride back into the jersey, the club, and giving the fans and Yellow Fever something to be proud of.Greeny talks about his four different stints in charge of Wellington, what he's learnt along the way, and says that picking up the pieces this time around was undoubtedly the most difficult assignment of the lot. With a view to next season, we ask what the club is doing to retain the services of Ifeanyi Eze, we try our best to get Paul Ifill a gig amongst Greeny's coaching staff with disastrous results, before Chris tells us a few stories about our ultimate storyteller... including when Iffy came face to face with the iconic Blanket Man!Also today, we reveal our grand prize winner for the 'Subs For Subs' competition that's been running for the last 3 weeks! Who is going to walk away with $500 for their football fees this year? And we take a look at the All Whites' kit for the FIFA World Cup!FOLLOW THE UNUSED SUBS!Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theunusedsubs/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@theunusedsubsKiwis talk football too!#football #soccer #newzealand
