ROAR players had every right to feel disappointed when Ange Postecoglou left Brisbane so soon after selling his squad the vision of long-term success and an A-League dynasty.
But Postecoglou's latest premature exit from an A-League franchise can be excused.
This time it's a matter of national importance, with the Socceroos being much more significant for the future of Australian football than Melbourne Victory.

With just eight months to go until the World Cup, Football Federation Australia had to act swiftly and decisively after making the decision to sack Holger Osieck.
Whether you agreed or not with that decision, Osieck's dismissal is now a moot point.

Perhaps FFA could have handled the so-called interview process better and actually heard what Graham Arnold and Tony Popovic had to say rather than just have discussions with Postecoglou.
Obviously David Gallop had made up his mind some time ago, and once he convinced his boss Frank Lowy, there was no stopping him in his pursuit of Postecoglou.
It's a perfect example of why Gallop is superior as FFA chief executive to the man he succeeded, Ben Buckley, who needed to be stronger in his dealings with Lowy.

Roar fans' favourite slogan during the Postecoglou era was "In Ange We Trust".
Now that's the motto Socceroos supporters, and that's almost everybody in Australia, must adopt as we enter arguably the most crucial period in our game since ending 32 years of agony by qualifying for the 2006 World Cup.
Postecoglou showed he was not afraid to make tough calls in Brisbane. While there was some short-term pain, it led to the longer term success of back-to-back championships.
Our new national coach is going to have to make similarly brutal decisions in terms of moving on players almost immediately as he picks a Socceroos squad for one, if not two, friendlies next month.
That's why he has been hired, and ultimately that's why Osieck, who couldn't bring himself to say enough's enough, was fired.
