Wellington Phoenix general manager David Dome admits finding the right successor to Ernie Merrick is the most important decision in the A-League clubs history.The Phoenixs shortlist is down to five names with Dome hopeful of settling on a new coach by Christmas.South Melbourne coach Chris Taylor is reportedly in the mix while those previously linked to the job include Mark Rudan, Luciano Trani, Auckland City coach Ramon Tribulietx, and caretakers Chris Greenacre and Des Buckingham.In the context of the clubs long-term A-League future and the red-hot expansion debate, it is a decision Dome acknowledges the club simply cannot get wrong.Its absolutely crucial this club is in the finals this year, and if were not in the finals series, were going to be in trouble - theres no doubt about that, Dome told AAP.We have to be top six, if not top four, and we identified top four at the start of the season. Its not impossible.The next coach has to come in and take us to the next level, and thats important for us.The expansion landscape has added a greater sense of urgency about the Phoenixs precarious position.Around a dozen parties are knocking on the door to join an expanded A-League in 2018-19, while the New Zealand club is no guarantee of remaining in the competition beyond the 2019-20 season.Last year, they were nearly axed to make way for a third Sydney team, but were granted a new four-year licence with further extensions conditional on improvements in key metrics like attendances and TV ratings.Ten weeks into the new season and average crowds and memberships are marginally down, but Dome reckons thats because the Phoenix are more reliant on results to attract local interest than other teams.Far from pushing the panic button, he believes the building blocks for success are in place.The key is a coach who can unlock the clubs potential.Were very sensitive to that, we do need to get those metrics up to retain the licence, 100 per cent, Dome said.Overall in terms of the metrics, were not in a bad space.Of course we want more people coming to games, we understand youre not going to get that when youre bottom of the table.We know historically, when we are doing well, we get decent numbers, north of 10,000, which is where we need to be.If we can do that, the whole thing takes off - the country becomes obsessed with the Phoenix.Currently ninth on the ladder, the Phoenix host Western Sydney in Auckland on Saturday.

The incident occurred at 19:56 of the second period of the Kings 4-2 road win over Edmonton on Sunday. Nolan punched Oilers forward Jesse Joensuu in the jaw in front of the Kings goal during a scrum. Ryan Wilson admits he has been forced to re-double his efforts after the emergence of Scotlands rookie back-rowers.The Edinburgh duo of Hamish Watson and Magnus Bradbury have both grasped the opportunities handed to them by Vern Cotter during this months Test clashes.Watson made his first Test start during the narrow 23-22 loss to Australia two weeks ago and impressed enough to retain his place against Argentina on Saturday.And he was joined in the side for the 19-16 win over the Pumas by debutant flanker Bradbury, who also managed to make an impression amid a scrappy clash.Their performances will have cheered head coach Cotter, who is currently without the influential back-row trio of Josh Strauss, David Denton and John Hardie due to injuries.But Glasgow forward Wilson knows he will have his work cut out to fight his way back into the New Zealanders plans. Wilson had to be content with a place on the bench against Argentina despite making a swift recovery from the ankle cut which forced him off just four minutes into the Wallabies clash.The 27-year-old had nothing but praise for his younger colleagues but has told them he will not relinquish his jersey without a fight.Wilson said: Were bringing through plenty of back-rows right now and were all pushing each other on.Magnus did fantastic at the weekend when he played. Thats just credit to the depth Scottish rugby is bringing through.It certainly [spurs you on] when you see someone coming through and pushing you that bit more.It pushes you in training and means youve got to work harder. You can never rest on your laurels here. Youve got to keep working to keep that shirt on your back.The depth throughout the squad is growing and growing. Every season there is another couple of players who come in and do so well.Its credit to the Scottish mentality that when you get your chance, you take it. Every one of the new boys who have come in to the squad have done thatt.ddddddddddddWhoever gets the nod this weekend when the Scots close their November schedule against Georgia at Kilmarnocks Rugby Park will have to be ready to put their body on the line.The heavyweight Lelos reaffirmed their growing reputation by shooting down Samoa 20-16 at the weekend.Their muscular pack did the damage to the Pacific Islanders and Wilson warned Scotland will have to match their opponents blow for blow if they are to avoid suffering the same fate.Weve got a big challenge ahead of us, he said. They are a good team with a good set-piece.They are on the right track. They are doing well.They have had a good few results recently and got a win over Samoa at the weekend. They are definitely on the up.They scored with a penalty try and another push-over try at the weekend so they have set their stall out in terms of how they play.Its something we have looked at and something we have focused on. We will need a big performance from our pack.Georgia will provide Cotter with one last chance to fine-tune his line-up ahead of the New Zealanders final Six Nations campaign in charge of Scotland.He will be replaced by Gregor Townsend next summer but before that Wilson is hoping to give Cotter a warm send-off with a positive Championships display.And he believes victory over Georgia would ensure the team starts the farewell tour in confident mood.He said: Its really important that we get another win. After a good win over Argentina we want to carry that on.Were always looking ahead to the next tournament and the Six Nations is huge for us this year.But we will deal with it one game at a time and that means only looking to Georgia this week. When we played the Aussies they were our only concern and that was the same with the Argies. We just need to make sure we go well this week. ' ' '
