Dear John

Dear John Aloisi,

News has just broken that Melbourne Heart Football Club has just relieved you of your duties early into a three year deal. Insidetheboxfc would like to say chin up mate, although you had an ordinary record in charge, you have been made a scape goat and have well and truly been thrown under the bus by your employers. You were chosen over more qualified candidates because your “player profile” would help the club find more exposure. What kind of board or football department makes these decisions, all this has done is wreck your player profile as you were and always will be a legend of our game, and without the incredible guts it took for you to take “that” penalty who knows where the A – League would be. If you are thrown into any job with no experience you will always struggle to be successful, whether as a football manager, CEO or supervisor at your local Coles.

From the outside looking in, it seems signings were made on a minimal budget and miracles were expected, and some money was just wasted. Foreign imports were signed when young Aussie players in the local Victorian Premier League could’ve done a better job, did you have a say in all these signings we will never know.

It is our opinion that one day you will make a great manager, however you might need to go back to basics and start from the bottom to reach the top again. Although the fans may blame you they are indeed the people that keep this club going and are only guilty of being passionate about their club and wanting to see them succeed. It seems best for all that this takeover goes through as soon as possible.

Regards,

Insidetheboxfc
