No Pressure on Mcgregor - Says Who?

Can anyone please show me any creditable evidence that Mary will be under any pressure
IMO they way he has been gifted everything and the complete lack of any internal criticism of the greatest 2nd half of the season melt down in NRL history shows that he is safe for the duration of his contract
Unfortunately IMO people draw a conclusion on the basis of what happens at other clubs
We operate in a bubble and anything professional relating to accountability that happens at other clubs is meaningless when you are talking about St GI
All the “wishing upon stars” in the world will not force a change at our club
I sense some posters are dropping constructive criticism for “hope” and our BOD just loves that outcome
With this lot in charge IMO “hope” should only be used if prefaced with NO
If we stick to the facts and reality we will then all be better equipped to discuss the fortunes of our club.

It is amazing what a difference one game makes. If Saints beat the crappy bulldogs side and make top 8, Mary would be safe as houses for at least all of next season. Because he lost I think the pressure will surely be back on him and it should. The way the season ended was pretty embarrassing and was the defining moment of a successful season to a poor one. It went like a seesaw with good wins over Manly, Titans and Panthers and poor loses to Knights, Bulldogs and Souths.

As soon as he or the team did something good to show he has some promise e.g dropped Dugan and put in a gutsy display against the Panthers, they/he follows it with rubbish.
Lol, winning that game would not have made it a successful season.

Thats a f**kload of pressure on Mcgegor - it's a quite simple equation ....
Perform or perish.. Time will tell

Sorry Mickylane, l would normally agree with you but with such a limp wristed knob like Doust, sadly McGregor seem safe in his glass house.

With all due respect there, SM .............. limping intro to finals is no right for Mary to feel good about himself.
Pointless making them if we cant' give it a good crack ............... it only gives the fans more ammo to call for his head.

The thing that really grates my butt cheeks it that our pathetic board STILL haven't said a word to us fans.
That really is rubbing our noses in it and in truth, expresses just how much they are ignorant to the fact that it is us, who keep the club, afloat.

Only a CEO who has lost complete touch with the clubs' fan base, would treat us with such contempt.

I sincerely hope Gordon buys the club and sacks the lot of them, maybe with the exception of Millward .

Saints wont sack Mary and he will see out the 2 years.

There will be plenty of coaches on the market... wont change our course for 2018.

We have been though this before and we all know the end result. Our club is not one to make the hard calls, that may cost a few dollars short term, but save a heap more, longer term.

Its what we are.
Dont agree with it, but am also not delusional that we will punt a coach mid stream.

Dont wait on Gordon mate... He lost a shi...load with the ten / CBS deal.

Wish he does buy us out, but doubt it.

He WILL NOT last 2 yrs UNLESS Saints make TOP 6 in 2018 and top 4 in 2019.
