No Gus, no finals footy, no club!

Yep, that’s why I’ve said repeatedly he did good stuff in his early years here. The last 3-4 have been filled with poor management.

But hes on the right track again.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Nah, there’s been more bad decisions than good in recent. Sacking Griffin doesn’t make up for hiring him, giving him an extension when it wasn’t necessary, appointing someone so inexperienced as CEO, signing Tamou to a big deal. I could go on.

He came out worse than Griffin from the sacking.

 

[betcats]

Well the best option would be taking the decision out of Gould’s hands.

He’s made too many boneheaded decisions of recent, why let him stuff up another one?

I think it has, do you think Ivan is Goulds choice?

 

[herbert henry1908]

I think it has, do you think Ivan is Goulds choice?

When I say take it out of Gould’s hands I don’t mean into the boards hands.

What I’d do is appoint a 3 man panel to conduct the search, a panel of footy experts.

Get John Lang, former panthers like Girdler, Gower etc. it needs fresh eyes.

Compare us now to where we were at the end of 2012, it was all Gould, he is entitled to make a few mistakes. You take the good with the bad. All these bad decisions and we are still in the top four with an extremely young squad. You make it sound like we are in turmoil when we are actually incredibly well placed going forward. Again, that was Gus.

That's just not going to happen. Its the boards job mate they aren't going to set up a panel.

Edit: I think its a good idea don't get me wrong.

I know it’s not going to happen, it’s just what I think should happen.

The board would have the final say, just like they always should.

It’s not a few mate, it’s stuff up after stuff up in recent times.

His time is done, he can’t live off his first few years forever.

The bad decisions will catch up with the club, I guarantee it. Gould has built it so he’s indispensable, but when Gus goes it’ll go to absolute shit. No succession planning has been done, it’s a house of cards.

So between now and 2011 he somehow lost it?? LOL I disagree his time is up, I find that ridiculous.

No succession planning? We have the whole squad besides Nath and possible Heathro locked up long term, we got rid of a dud coach ffs you're acting like we are falling apart.

Isn't Brandy on the board? He is as big as a footy expert that our club could have.

Gowie lol ... oh dear

 

[betcats]

The biggest richest and probably the most powerful club in the game is still look for Wayne bennetts successor 10 years after he first f**ked off, its not an easy thing to pick the right coach I think we need to relax, hook was a mistake, but we survive to fight another day and in a pretty bloody good position.

I’m talking about off field succession planning.

He’s done a good job building the squad, that’s about it in the last few years.

And yes he lost something along the way, I’d say his ego caught up with him.

The board have been involved in the debacle, that’s why I say it needs fresh eyes.

I was just throwing up names, it’s the idea of someone external having a look at it that’s important.

Lang is qualified to do that, Girldrr could see through Griffins rubbish a while ago. Gower I just tacked on.

 

[herbert henry1908]

I’m honestly amazed that any fan could be confident in Gould’s off field decision making anymore.

See my above comment mate. You are starting to sound like Rothfield a little bit. Goulds done a lot of great things besides the squad. Our country connection to areas like Bathurst and dubbo, our community involvement in schools around the area, the world class facilities that opened two years ago. You are selling him way short, be fair.

And you talk about building the squad like its easy, that's the most important part of his job and he is nailing it.

Better Gus than Craig Gower.

I don't mind your idea about a panel of qualified people.

I'm also still confident with Gus.
