Eels Appoint Brad Arthur as Head Coach

[Jake the snake]

All this mess needs now is for both Taylor and Arthur to say not interested because of the inept BOARD.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Wouldn't it be funny if the board has totally played the media as fools and Arthur is appointed as HC

Gee it looks like happening , and it aren't funny!!

 

[IFR33K]

So two board meetings, ba and JT at one apiece.

Can someone confirm is it best of three or five.

 

[Jake the snake]

Jooookkkeeeeeee

 

[Noise]

I hope Taylor has signed the contract and f**ks us over for as much as he can. The board deserve to be taught a lesson!!

Wasn't it rumour Taylor resigned from roosters over the weekend?

Really? You'd put taylor and your hate for the board in front of the club?

 

[natheel]

FMD!!

What is the love affair with Anderson?

How the hell can you offer the job to Taylor and start negotiating terms with him, yet still have a board meeting to vote on another coach ?

There are definitely some funny ways of doubt business with this board.

And yet again why is this all in the media ??

For all we know they could've been meeting to discuss Taylor as coach and finalise everything. But seems like Sharp has done some talks on the side.

The fact its in the media is f**king ridiculous can't stand it

Omg.

Sharp brokered the deal

I miss Spags, at least that board was united in mediocrity. Last years coaching decision wasn't played out in the media like this mess has been.

This coaching saga will play out until November...

 

[Jodeci]

This is just the start

Strap yourself Jake The Snake, this is going to go on for a while

Classic !

 

[Jodeci]

Thanks for clear up !

No worries

You were correct the first time

 

[Joshuatheeel]

No don't hate anyone, just not happy with the professionalism of the board. Sometimes a lesson needs to be learnt the hard way. Seriously how do you offer a contract to Taylor, yet still have a board meeting to vote on another candidate ?

 

[Snoochies]

If he helps us put a ball over the tryline and stops other teams doing it so often I'll be happy.

As in the time it will take to announce the coach?..... or the boardroom bitching?

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

I get the feeling that no matter who is appointed, there are going to be merkins who are hell bent on putting shit on the club.

For me it's got nothing to do with who (out of these candidates) gets the coach job. Nor do I even know who is on what side in this tit for tat political battle over Board control. But, notwithstanding the fact that there are shit-stirrers in the media, the way that this process has been managed and communicated is ludicrous. Not saying there are no well-intentioned people involved, but I don't see how this gets fixed under the current set up. I don't enjoy making that observation. But a spade is a spade.

 

[Jodeci]

The bullshit that has gone on the past 3 weeks regarding this coaching saga has made me think that I will more than likely contest the next elections.

I've had enough of this crap

Absolutely no care for the members

 

[Gronk]

I'm happy with Taylor or Arthur. Shit happens with contract negotiations. For those who are playing the incompetent card, you might want to understand that sometimes deals don't come to fruition, notwithstanding the intent of the parties. If the lawyers can't agree, then it falls through. Oh well, cross him off the list.

So I'm comfortable either way. Those who were worried about Hoppa walking should be stoked BTW.

I guess the same way Sharp offered the role to arthur originally then had the meeting that voted in Taylor.

It's been a cockup of massive proportions but at the end of the day if they get the right person and we win some f**ken games and keep on recruiting well I don't care what the idiots fight about

Both Noise

Arthur's is overseas and the board now have serious concerns.
