I don't know how much influence the FFA have over Holger's managerial authority, but my personal feeling is that he exercises complete power over Socceroos decisions in terms of selection and coaching. If I recall correctly, Osieck was sacked by Urawa because he refused to agree with the board's decisions over players. That's hearsay so don't quote me.

Holger can get away with dropping a "star player" (Cahill, Emerton) to the bench for a match in Asia but not as easily for a home match in front of the paying public. Just sayin'.fjnoreply@blogger.com
