Ando's bill

Ando asks for something absurdly high.
Sharks counter with something absurdly low.
Ando comes down a bit.
Sharks come up a bit.
Continue until they meet in the middle.
That's how the game is played.

One factor that hasn't been mentioned: Ando's health is not all that great, and I don't think he'll want the stress for all that long a time - certainly his family won't. I think he'll settle rather than have it go on for years (which is possible).

As mentioned one year's severance is fair and I think it's the ball park figure.

He will win something. My understanding of unfair dismissal laws is that you can't just sack someone after the 3 breaches unless you provide guidance and training etc. Did the Sharks do this?

Yes! He was guided to the front door and pointed toward Woolooware train station.

I'm with the 'pay him one year' option.

Given the 'three strikes' issue, that is a good option for Ando and I think he'd take it.

His case is paper thin. Opes knows he won't win but he knows we don't want to go to court and he can get some bling bling outta us.

My true thoughts on all this are...

We offered to pay him his last year of his contract.

He wants MORE, as he is set to retire. Failing health, his OWN brought on respect in the league to get another job anywhere, etc...

He is once again looking after himself (you can chuck in family and friends here also), as he always has. He didn't give a rats arse about Cronulla... He couldn't even bring himself to call us CRONULLA. It was always... The "Team" this and the "Club" that... If he did care, he would know it will hurt us, and have come to some sort of settlement by now...

No my friends, CA is all about HIMSELF. The $300,000 "damages" proves that!!

Hopefully it will all come back and bite him on the arse. Then HE has to get HIS cheque book out to pay the legal fees on both sides. Hopefully it will cost him his house in the SHIRE also, and we will be rid of him once and for all time. Infact, we should counter sue him for damage done to the club in the 2 years he was here and claim millions from him!!

it was on the radio

i find it incredulous given the last 3 appointments any one would touch him

especially given the court action

still if he ended up there his "loosing culture" rhetoric at least would have a ring of truth

LOL, you can't see Paul Langmack going elsewhere and getting a premiership before him, can you? :lol:

lol

i never went in for the "lang is a poor coach cause he never got a premiership with us"

i seem to remember winning stacks of games and coming very close under lang

all this talk of deadwood and loosing cultures is a farce

especially given lang has landed one now against all odds

Boys a couple of things.
Aries, This is the first time I have heard that the club offered to pay Andersons last year out?? Is that right Mate??

Secondly, IF Souths do take Ando on in some capacity, I think it would throw out the part of Ando's claim about "Damage to reputation". If a Club uses his services, it obviously hasn't affected or damaged his reputation.

My own opinion of this situation is this. I beleive the courts will find fault on both sides and order us to pay Anderson about $600,000. Now, What I see happening is Mr Pierce coming out claiming a major victory for the club because we won't have to pay the full $1.3Million. REMEMBER THIS THOUGH FELLOW SUPPORTERS. Barry Pierce and His board believe that they DO NOT OWE Anderson 1 cent!!!!

I am sure that we all accept that Ando really is a Bulldog, always has been, always will be, even if he does join the Rabbits. Pierce on the otherhand claims to be a Cronulla Man through and through, and THIS is more of a worry to me than Anderson.

I am only speculating here, but it is how I see things panning out. I just hope that we can get a Board who REALLY does have the Clubs best interests at heart, instead of the old "She'll be right Mate" attitude.

Lest we forget that two of those appointments resulted in Premierships...

Is it worth the risk though? Blokes such as Hagan, Stuart and Lang have proven that you don't have to be a destabilizing dictator of a coach to take home the premiership.

Anderson MIGHT bring home the bacon... but if he doesn't? You're left with a club in ruins.

Souths wont touch him.

...you only have to visit http://www.rabbitohs.com/burrows/hutch/ to know what the majority of supporters think of him, and the opinons of some of people on that board seem to carry a fair bit of muscle

all this talk of deadwood and loosing cultures is a farce
why? we never won anything

especially given lang has landed one now against all odds
I fail to see what this has to do with cronulla. If anything, it backs up the deadwood/losing culture remark.

but totally uncomparable ....totally different squads
