Rumoured and Confirmed Signings and even more Crap XXIII

[lingard]

The biggest problem is DA now involved in the negotiations,no secret he is viewed as an arrogant pri*k by most managers and players

Thanks for your valuable insight, mate.

 

[Stagger eel]

Can you or anywhere else elaborate on why the Manager of the Team was sacked. Was he the one who put the Foran contract in the post to the NRL or something?

Jason Irvine is a gear steward. He has nothing to do with anything regarding the running of anything at the club. He simply makes sure all training gear is located at the site they train, beverages and drinks supplied daily to players and staff at training, game day he ensures the sheds are right to go and double checks the equipment.

He has nothing to do with player contracts.

Yup

Here's Sharpy's press conference on the matter

I don't believe the DA v BA hype.

 

[hineyrulz]

I gathered this sounded like his role... So why was he sacked? Did he lose a witches hat or something??

:lol: certainly a sackable offence.

Damages clause out. Arthur clause stays.

Foran has given his word and will be coming regardless.

Let's see what changes between now and 11am Wednesday.

Personally, I think BA has done an amazing job when you consider what is going on.

Hayne left, Injuries left right and centre, a f**ked up salary cap which dictates who he can and can't play and DA in the background white anting the rest of the show.... While the board are f**king around sacking anyone and everyone other than the f**king problems.

A-f**king-mazing.

Yep totally agree. Out of all this I just hope he doesn't walk. We really need him stay strong.

DA was part of the reason why Taylor didn't want to come wasn't it?

Hiring Peter Sharp may have been a good thing to work between both guys but bringing DA into the position in the first place obviously wasn't.

When Jason Taylor won the votes in the board room at the time, the Chairman turned to one particular director and made the point that BA should be the coach, the director who has a very close relationship with DA said I'll change my vote from JT to BA if you employ DA.

That exact scenario took place.

The push for NRL referees boss Daniel Anderson to be appointed football manager is thought to have played a significant role in last night?s backflip.

I'd love to know where rock bottom is

Gee great way to get the right people into important roles

He was a bit more than a gear steward, but like you said he had nothing to do with contracts.

 

[lingard]

I wouldn't mind Hodkinson plus another player instead of Foran...

Absolutely.

Sacked but still getting paid till the end of the year, yep that's Parra.

As expected. In the end we got was reasonable and fair.

Do we have a source for the bold bit cause i didnt read that in the linked article?

 

[Incorrect]

It's the Parramatta Eels "NewStart Allowance"..... we'll get rid of you, but we'll keep paying you until you find someone else willing to take you on... Cheyse Blair, Matt Ryan, Jocob Loko are all successful beneficiaries of the Parra Eels NewStart Allowance!!

 

[Glenn]

Hmm maybe just my conspiracy theory (although it wouldn't surprise me if it comes to fruition.) , the Foran deal falls through and he ends up at another club, with BA as an assistant at the same club, DA just happens to land in the coaching position.

 

[Avenger]

Seems like a lot of people on here get very confused about the role of theboard and that of the CEO and senior management.
One lot get a token payment and oversee the general direction of the running of the club and hire the senior management.
The others are responsible for the day to day running of the club and meeting the rules and regulations that are required of a licensed club. For this they get payed hundreds of thousands of dollars and are expected to work probably 50 hour weeks.

Board members are only required to attend scheduled meetings which are only about 16 a year. If we want them to be across everything and work 40 hour weeks we need to pay them as full time employees.

Why then does Sharp do the majority of our public speaking? When was the last time you saw Politis speak or Pappas from South Sydney? This is the job for the CEO not the Chairman. As I keep saying nobody seems to know who the boss is. There is a serious lack of leadership.

Sharp isn't even a full time employee of Parramatta yet he speaks about nearly everything.

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

oh, a conspiracy theory, was only a matter of time

but BA was part of the contract negotiations if you believe one of the media articles quoted above

I mentioned BA as part of it in my post. Theoretically, according to my crazy theory, he knows he is being white-anted by DA so he gets in on the act to protect himself.

If, as suggested in a recent post, the BA clause stays in the contract then he has done well out of this (if my crazy conspiracy theory is true).

***

Does anyone think it is a coincidence that SS got the arse the week before this comes out? The Board find the (theoretically) secretly inserted clause, wait until Rd. 13 is over, pull the pin, sack SS and then scramble to save the deal.

(Theoretically) it all fits. It explains how the Board didn't know, it is based upon well known information relating to the statuses of BA and SS (as well as being backed up by the subsequent release of SS after Rd. 13 and the retention of the BA clause in the contract).

As a matter of fact, it is the most logical explanation of how all of this happened that has so far been offered. NOTE: That does not in any way mean I am insisting that it happened. Once again, it is simply the most logical explanation offered yet to cover all available information.

Seward was the media hog wasn't he?
