In The Mixer: your weekly dose of football news from around Australia and the world Melbourne mentor Ange Postecoglou could cost the FFA a $500,000 cheque addressed to Victory. FUTURE Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou says Australia has a major problem which is restricting football players' development. While the Melbourne Victory boss says his club's training facilities are arguably the best in the nation he feels for clubs that are forced to use paddocks and parklands and less than impressive dressing rooms before game day. "No doubt look I feel for some of the coaches and players even when I was at Brisbane (Roar) it wasn't ideal the training situation," Postecoglou said. I think the next evolution for our code is that people involved in football clubs understand that pretty much our workplace is where we are every day. A real important part is trying to build a professional culture and try and improve every part of the club. I'm very fortunate I won't take this for granted but at the same time I'm going to use this to our advantage. We have great facilities for recovery for training we don't want for anything that's why I came here and it's a big selling point for us bringing players from abroad. We're not embarrassed to bring them here I can sell them the pitch that this is a European club in terms of facilities and even in terms of our crowds and when you bringing here you know you haven't been selling them a lie, it give us advantages in many areas. STILL on Postecoglou it's understood Football Federation Australia may have to pay Victory a healthy $500,000 to find a new mentor given the Victory boss is in the box seat to win the vacant Socceroos job. PART-TIME FFA technical director Han Berger's role is destined for rejuvenation from July next year when the Dutchman's contract runs out. Berger last December started a part-time contract which stipulated he would work for eight out of 12 months in a year. The role is arguably the most important onein Australian football moving forward across all levels. ADELAIDE United has again been told to shut down the adelaidereds website about 12 months after FFA said the club was breaching the FFA's participation agreement when the site was operating. But after it was shut down it came back this year dressed up as a fans' site. FFA is against the website because it fails on the principles of keeping A-League clubs uniform. ADELAIDE-BORN Victory attacker James Troisi believes good club form is the only way back into the Socceroos frame. The 25-year-old has been out of Socceroos action since last year, just months before signing a co-ownership deal with Italy's Juventus and Atalanta. He is currently on loan to Victory. "For me it's always been about club football and if I'm doing that there is no reason why I can't be involved in the Socceroos," Troisi said. Every player wants to go to a World Cup and play for his country it's the biggest thing in football. IRONY or what? The FFA and government are pushing the "tackle binge drinking campaign" hard at Coopers Stadium, Hindmarsh. THE FLAVOUR was definitely Italian with a touch of Greek as Australia's nationwide sitcom football shows kicked off over the past week. Perhaps they tried too hard to stereotype some Australian football fans and the game's culture which a surely has moved on . Santo, Sam and Ed's 'Total Football' parody on Vincenzo Grella's 'Vincenzissimo' segment on Fox Sports was the funnier of the two TV stereotypes. But SBS's Thursday FC rolling out 'Wog Boys' (again) during its debut!!! You cannot be serious! HOW did the Brisbane Roar squad spend their extra time in Wellington after their scheduled flight home from New Zealand was delayed by a day? "Bonding," according to Roar star Ivan Franjic. When asked to elaborate, Franjic said Monday's activities included lunch, dinner and billiards. But we take it that Brisbane's marquee man Thomas Broich isn't one for the pool table. Broich said he spent most of the day lying in bed and having a warm bath. "I was feeling pretty sore after the game, so not having to travel the day after, I thought it was good," the German import said. WE take it all is forgiven from the feud between Ange Postecoglou and Danny Tiatto during the pair's time at Brisbane Roar. Tiatto , who at the height of tensions claimed Postecoglou never spoke to him, this week told In The Mixer that the current Melbourne Victory coach would do a great job as Socceroos boss if given the chance. Former Socceroo Tiatto, who played in England for Manchester City and Leicester City, said the time had come for an Australian to again coach the Socceroos, and also endorsed other candidates Graham Arnold and Tony Popovic. KEEPING on the topic, Darwin-born, Cairns-raised former Socceroos coach Frank Farina said nationality should not be an issue in deciding who should replace the sacked Holger Osieck. "It should just be the best coach," said Farina, who was replaced as national coach by Dutchman Guus Hiddink less than a year before the 2006 World Cup. I do believe an Australian can do it without any problem, but it's entirely up to FFA. Current Sydney FC boss Farina said regardless of who is appointed Socceroos coach, their focus should be on the 2015 Asian Cup, not next year's World Cup. We're not going to win the World Cup. The FFA have just sacked the coach, so the next one they're going to appoint, they should tell him to rebuild gearing towards the Asian Cup. It takes the pressure off everyone. It takes the expectations away from a lot of people who believe that we're better than what we are. Use the World Cup to prepare the team for the Asian Cup, which realistically we'll be expecting to win or make the final. ADELAIDE United coach Josep Gombau's wife Romina Pastor says the couple's favourite Adelaide eatery is Parkside's CafI Sabatini. "These people Alfredo and Antoniette are friendly they took care of us from the first time we arrived," she said. WHAT was up with the technical areas of Coopers Stadium during the Adelaide and Perth Glory clash last Sunday? Coaches and players had no room to move out of their seats due to the lines being painted directly outside their plastic chairs. Referee Ben Williams could have booked either coach Gombau or Glory's Alistair Edwards for stepping outside the area. But thankfully common sense seemingly prevailed. MATTHEW Selby has won the position on Liverpool's supporters committee representing Asia, Oceania, Middle East and Africa. Highbury-based (SA) Selby beat a candidate from Dubai and one from Qatar. Selby will now be flown to watch Liverpool face Fulham at Anfield courtesy of the club on November 10. "Thanks to each and every one of you who voted, shared, retweeted, gave me time in the press and radio," Selby said. It was a week of hard work but it got us there. Football fans, friends and relatives united (not a word I often use in a positive way). What does it all mean? Not sure when the role starts, but the first meeting is in three weeks, so I guess I will get up to speed quickly. I also get to see the Liverpool v Fulham game at 3pm not 1-30am! Ange Postecoglou is adamant Melbourne Victory's match against Brisbane Roar is not about revenge. A-League Highlights Show (14/10/13) Miss any of the action from the first round of the A-League?
