Breaking News: Brian Smith resigns effective immediately.

[Hurriflatch]

JT is a lower grades coach (ok this year he got promoted to assistant coach) looking to make a name for himself.

Will be interesting to see what happens

If Parra turn around their season under JT this year and with JT headed to Souths next yeat it'll be intresting to see if McRae still has a job

 

[parra-all-the-way]

i blame this fair and square with DF...wasnt he the one who said 10 years in one job is just too long (correct me if im wrong) how long has he been in the job...i feel our season is now officially dead and buried, gutted is the way i feel...

As for a replacement coach my head says taylor but my mind says someone who will be here next year...

WILL this change JT thoughts on leaving next year?? doubt it

 

[nöyd]

According to some yes, so using this logic it will also be the fault of who ever we have from now on.

Well god help that person then

 

[El Diablo]

I'm not sure if this a good move, jumping from a sinking ship is an easy way out.

This unSmithy like imo.

is this not the third time he's left a club like this?

 

[Krakow]

It breaks my heart it has ended this way. Regardless of the fact he hasn't won the big one, he seems like the loveliest bloke you could meet and an astute football mind. Shame that we couldn't have parted on a high.

Good luck at Newcastle, Brian.

I don't know if it breaks my heart but you summed up the rest pretty well.

I still thought he was more professional than this

R.I.P. Smithy

 

[Wobbygong]

Hard decision for him to make, or did the club make it for him? He's a top notch bloke and it's sad to see him leave in those circumstances.

Good luck Smithy, no doubt a few players will be treading the same path at the end of the season as well.

 

[Nickeel]

Can't wait to hear the reasons. This is obviously an admittance that he has no idea how to get us out of this hole we're in!!!!

Cameron should get the coaching job for the rest of the year because he will still be here next year and he got in to the Jersy Flegg GF

Would hope so, purely because he can lay the ground work for Hagan next season and start working with him.
Also more likely to promote players from PL and prehaps Flegg in a view to next season.

 

[eelaholic]

I can confirm JT will be the coach for the remander of the season.

How can you confirm this??? The bloody board is currently in a meeting discussing that matter? Unless you are a fly on the wall with an itty bitty lap top???

I doubt there will be a decision until later this evening

 

[Wobbygong]

One bit of good news players always fire up for the first week of a new coach, so Parra a specials this week put your house on it boys.

 

[Hurriflatch]

According to ch.10 the board is meeting at the moment to decide if JT or Cameron take over as coach for the rest of the year

 

[Glenn]

Well god help that person then

Don't even think god could help them ;-)

You know 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon,

well ive got 2 degrees of this Info.

JT will be named coach for the rest of this year.

 

[Disturbed]

Ninemsn homepage has already said JT will take his place.

[nöyd]

Should we expect the signing of one J. Lyon in the very near future then?

 

[Eelectrica]

*Wrong thread*

 

[parralight]

The best solution.
Perhaps whoever takes over will make some proper decisions regarding selections.
People like Peto etc who have been selected on reputations for this year should be punted and maybe - just maybe players will be rewarded for their performaces.

Plenty of black tape is needed now...

On one arm for Smith.

On the other for the 2006 season.
