Ok I know I haven't posted for a while as I'm very busy these days with family and businesses but this is my thoughts on the Anderson saga.

Yes he should go if we don't make the GF this year.

People argue that he should be given a chance based on building a team he wants & then if we don't succeed, get rid of him. My answer is what a load of bull crap.

He has t a great team at his disposal now. He has to mould them. For eg, train Mortimer up. Also communicate with the polynesian players. In the business world, I can communicate with the cleaner, the security card and the director of the company with no problem. It's called peoples skill.

People will say he took us to the GF last year. I say, it was the brilliance of some of our players that took us there. Ie pass, pass & pass, then give it to Hayne & hope he takes it from there. What game plan is that? Now this year, teams has worked us out. Where is the game plan to counter that?

This is just a simple summary as I don't have the time to expand.

I say bring on Kearney

Bye for now

So Weidler says Ossie was in Melbourne last week, theres another thread floating around where MITS says he has been in Brisbane all week.....

Sorry guys, long drive home. Yep Ozzie was in SE Queensland all week as were a large number of the Board, a few of them flew in Friday night but the only Board Members not in attendance last night were Lyn Wallace and New Board Member Glenn Duncan who will be appointed officially at the next Board Meeting. Duncan is the MD of Pirtek.

I heard this talk on Sports Ears last night before the game kicked off and was in disbelief then watching what happened after the game at the Post Match function, I would say Ando is fine.

It's the connection of some board members to the Telegraph journalists. These people have something in common and traditionally cannot shut the f**k up.

Exactly. These are the board members we need to get rid of.

Does anyone know which ones they are?

not all board members are 3P
and we are not privvy to what goes on behind closed doors ( or what should be closed doors)
we can only speculate and get caught up in all the BS
I will wait until the board come out and say it publicly
wasn't it the telegraph that said we're getting sticky as coach?

There are SIX 3P & ONE Team PLC.

FMD the soccer guys managed to appoint a new socceroos coach without a single leak. At our club a board member can't scratch his balls without it appearing in the Telegraph. Trouble is, the journos have no loyalty to us as they are quite happy to print negative stuff more than anything else.

Is this the 3P style????
Because if it is, then those behind removing Daniel Anderson need to be booted out of this club real fast.
What a bunch of f**king idiots.
A mutiny is required. f**k off 3P, bunch of jerks..
It seems Daniel is his own man and needs to be fully supported for the 3 year tenure of his contract, allowing him the time and space to create a squad, etc, in his image.
He has been hacking through the dense Hagan & Smith forest to carve a path through to the making of his dream-team and now in mid-stream while hacking away, doing all the dirty work, these 3P idiots want to remove him.
This is bullsh*t.
A bounty of dismissal should be put on the heads of every 3P member involved in removing Daniel.
We need stability NOW, not more knee jerk reactions.

Well said Casper, this Board has NFI.

Ironically the Telecrap's angle tomorrow is that it's all about an April election.

According to @TripleM_NRL on twitter, ossie has told the Sunday telegraph that it was his decision to approach Kearney not the boards due to not meeting expectations

Daniel Anderson's win could have saved job

* Phil Rothfield Sports Editor-at-large
* From: The Daily Telegraph

DANIEL Anderson is the last person Parramatta chief executive Paul Osborne wanted to sack.

Osborne and the besieged Eels coach have struck up a close friendship over the past 18 months despite constant boardroom pressure to remove Anderson from the job.

Earlier this year, Osborne approached the board and tried to extend Anderson's contract but directors rejected the request when the Eels won only one of their first four games.

Pressure mounted as the Eels continued to underperform and two directors sent emails demanding Anderson's sacking after the recent thumping loss to the Warriors.

Osborne refused to react and, with the support of chairman Ray Spagnolo, resisted pressure to look for another coach in the hope Anderson could repeat last year's charge to the grand final. Last week's loss to the Gold Coast at Skilled Park forced Osborne to act.

Under instructions from Spagnolo, Osborne secretly boarded a flight to Melbourne for talks with Craig Bellamy's assistant coach Steve Kearney. The irony of the talks on Monday is that Kearney was originally interviewed for the job by former boss Denis Fitzgerald before being overlooked for Anderson.

To protect his friendship with Anderson, Osborne was determined to keep the talks with the Storm assistant coach secret and even booked the flight to Melbourne without any of the football club staff knowing. He met with Kearney to sound him out as a "Plan B" option if the Eels failed to make the grand final.The Parramatta board see New Zealand Test coach Kearney as the ideal type to handle the large Polynesian element at the club.

He is extremely well regarded by The most influential figures in the game, including Bellamy and Wayne Bennett. Cashed-up Parramatta are prepared to offer Kearney one of the richest coaching deals in the NRL to make it happen.

But Eels board members are understandably anxious to get off to a flying start in next year's premiership because they are under pressure to be re-elected at the annual meeting next April.

The majority of directors feel it is too risky to stick with Anderson, in case Fitzgerald's old supporters mount a campaign to get rid of them.


One would find this comment hard to believe?!!!
