Troubled Hyundai A-League franchise the New Zealand Knights travel to Melbourne for the match tonight against runaway leaders Melbourne. The Knights last week had their licence revoked and are now under control of New Zealand football. Due to contractual discussions with the players, the team missed the plane to Melbourne and only nine players were able to make a later flight. The team is being topped up with Australian based players so that the game can go ahead. "This is something of a farce and if the Knights can keep the score to less than 5 - 0 tonight then it will be a morale victory" said Land Rovers Manager Steve Hall "although it is a lesson on how not to manage a football team". After that we've got the World Club final kicking of at 11.30 pm Wellington time. "Watching the Knights and Barcelona in the same evening should provide an interesting contrast" said Hall "but Rovers players will probably learn more from watching Ronaldinho (pictured) and Barcelona than the Knights". A Knights spokesmen who did not want to be identified said there were no immediate plans to tempt Ronaldinho to transfer to the Knights.

My results with the Knights can now be put in perspective.

The Knights need to harden up, as does every team I don't coach.
