Eels Appoint Brad Arthur as Head Coach

[emjaycee]

We need a fan day or a petition or a march down O'Connell St... where the hell is Bartman when we have such divisive issues at the club. Surely he can lead us to salvation.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Wait til Easter and crucify some bloke who looks like Ray Price or the baby Jesus, then march him ANZ Stadium to the Leagues Club, then hope for a miracle.

Stop reading and believing media articles or you guys will loose what sanity you have left

Look what happened at Canbra and the CEO resigned over Sticky's appointment.

Our board are still deciding and agreeing on who they want, that doesn't mean we are a club in crisis, we are just carrying out normal business and no ones been sacked over it.

mcintyre never voluntarily went to the media to issue a public take it or leave it ultimatum before the board meeting itself

 

[MarkInTheStands]

Mate are you hurting as much as me ? How the hell did it ever get this bad ??

I think all the fans are hurting. How did it get this bad, the majority of members, voted for board members that in their wisdom have steered us down this course.

 

[Gronk]

FMD no matter who is in charge (Fitzy, Spags or Sharp) it feels like we're being run by Borat.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

should've gone for Green huh?

Also unproven. Certainly a better choice than a proven failure.

Is nice, yes.

 

[Sphagnum]

Oh great .... :crazy:

Watch it here live --> http://www.foxsports.com.au/video/live

Flicked it over at 12 and it was nothing but Tardball. Something about lance Armstrong wanting to play with swans. Lasted about a minute and I changed it.

What happened?

 

[BennyBoy]

As much as I dislike Stuart can't help but feel Sharp is now vindicating his decision to walk because of this rabble of a board.

Don't knock Price as he may end up being our only option if these amateurs cause Arthur and JT to withdraw.:lol:

or more appropriately for sharpie in this case,....the dictator

 

[TheRam]

I am not o harp or something, or post negative, but how the hell did people vote sharp in?

Cos he's a legend mate who bleeds Blue and Gold. And a great leak plugger too of course.

Hahahahaha. You are kidding right? Our whole board has descended to a point I never thought possible. Someone should just come in and put us down. Oh the pain, oh the pain.

 

[Twizzle]

of course not, they dont sell papers like the Eels CEO would.

How do you know he approached the media and not the other way around ?

From twitter.

FOX SPORTS News ‏@FOXSportsNews 5m
.@TheParraEels legend Ray Price spoke exclusively to Fox Sports moments ago pushing the case for Brett Kenny and himself to coach the Eels

FOX SPORTS News ‏@FOXSportsNews 2m
Price is confident the pair can take @TheParraEels into the top eight and is adamant the new coach must be a true Parramatta club person

FOX SPORTS News ‏@FOXSportsNews 3m
The dual international told Fox Sports, "We know how to win and we know what is needed to win. If we can’t do it, no one can.”

FOX SPORTS News ‏@FOXSportsNews 2m
He admits they have more chance of “winning the lottery” than being appointed with former CEO Denis Fitzgerald likely to harm their chances

That's it! All Ego's out of the pool.

I thought that was Fitzy.

 

[Jodeci]

The 6th vote was probably Fitzy's :lol:

Seriously though we are a disgrace and it appears there is no light at the end of the tunnel. I was starting to warm to Sharpie but going public with info of internal board voting and crying to the media is beyond amateurish. It also appears our new CEO is just a puppet.

How can a guy who leaks to the press when he doesn't get his way constantly complain about leaks and disunity? :crazy:

Whoever they pick now is starting behind the eight-ball and embroiled in politics whether they like it or not. F$#king amazing stuff.

This is what concerns me.

Sharp for the last month has kept going on about Arthur and he being the person who should coach our club.

Hadley said on radio today that the 4 board members haven't included the 5th member of the board on the coaching appointment of the first grade side. Why?

Why would Sharp do an interview before a board meeting with Dean Ritchie and make those stupid statements.

So Sharp knew before the board meeting that he didn't have the full support from the board but made it public?

The majority of us bagged the previous admin regarding the leaks, this is right up there.

Taylor stands no chance if the Deputy and Vice Deputy don't want him there!!!!

 

[MarkInTheStands]

I have had a revelation.

Lets let Price and Kenny coach the side.

Then when they fail to make an impact and we have collected two more spoons, they might never think about coming back to bother the club again.

 

[TheRam]

I'm telling you guys unless we take action ourselves to change the constitution from a board of elected morons, to an elected one man dictator, who then hires his own executive team, then we will always be open to this type of total incompetent board room shenanigan abortions.

Either that or if we cross our fingers and toes for long enough, we might eventually fail so badly that we are within an inch of our survival and the league will then and only then(cos these guys are dead set boofhead themselves) step in to restructure and save us. But that means at least 5 more years of being disgraceful on and off the field.

 

[hineyrulz]

What a rabble we are, nice to see Mark pop in with his Bart I told you so routine. Not saying much mark just some slight little digs at the people who voted out your hero in 08.

Just because the people who were voted in doing of the job we all hoped doesn't mean his time wasn't up, his behavior since he got punted has been nothing sort of disgraceful and shows what sort of person he is. sadly his replacement is doing the same thing.

Sigh, and the new mob well they just seem to be way out of their depth, Sharpies heart is in the right place but going to the media like he did just shows he's not the man for the job.

And can someone send out a search party for out CEO??? He's MIA.

 

[TheRam]

Is that you Raay ?

Is that you dumb arrrse?
