Eels Appoint Brad Arthur as Head Coach

[Avenger]

Just because he preferred Arthur doesn't mean he hates Jason Taylor and won't be able to work with him.

Get some f**king perspective guys. Gronk is right; this is a media beat up and some of you deadshit merkins are so desperate for drama you hungrily gobble it up you greedy bitches.

You are the Telegraph's target audience.

The point is he should not have said a thing prior to any decision.

The only way it's a media beat up is if the journalist committed fraud by making up the quotes from sharp.

Pou, if this is a media beat up than the time as I sit here and type this 4.11pm... The day after sharps interview with Ritchie, why wouldn't the club release a statement??

Absolutely...

Hmm, you don't think Sharp's comments may just have had a tad to do with it?

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Oh well at least we are down to two promising options in Arthur and Taylor - thank god, sheens, Anderson , McNamara ...........are no longer being mentioned as options.

 

[BennyBoy]

Ovo is a fine man and was a wonderful chairman, but mark would even tell you that at his time at the club he was shoveling shit uphill with boardroom decisions..

Oh OK, was not aware of that. Seems we have always had dud boards then.

Top eight finish a 'certainty' under my coaching, says Parramatta Eels hopeful Ray Price

every time he opens his mouth i think he gets more dumb.

if him and brett kenny can't do it then no-one can? what a tosser.

price seems to be big on talking about the what but seems to overlook the how by a massive way. was the same when he was the election puppet in 09 and would get interviewed. he'd get asked what they are going to do to which he'd respond with something like "we're gonna restore pride and passion to parramatta" then when asked how he'd say "by restoring pride and passion to parramatta".

the clown needs to pack away his hat, make up and big shoes so the circus can leave.

 

[Noise]

If sharp has been telling the new players with get out clauses that Arthur will be coach, watch them all bail once punching bag Taylor ends up coach. The get out clause fiasco is about to come up again

 

[Avenger]

Cannot see Sharp recovering from this regardless of what happens.

Spot on. Still can't believe he opened his mouth to the media :crazy:

Yes, this seems to be the case with all of our chairmen from the past 30+ years.

Why ? :roll:

I'm sure he did make those comments, and I agree they were unprofessional, but that doesn't mean the club is in crisis, as the media are trying to portray (i.e. 'beat up').

Once we have a coach I'm sure the entire board will support them, though of course the media will continue to push the Eels-in-crisis angle, and overplay the disagreement on who should have been coach.

Sharp probably should brush the media, and after this he might. He has obviously been trying to cultivate a positive relationship with the media, because if you give them nothing they will just make shit up. As for direct quotes, they're only important to 'fans' who want to discredit a person. They don't make a difference to the neutrals.

Yes, I maintain this stance. The media report about our goings on far differently than other clubs. Having said that Sharp needs to learn and the CEO needs to take control and be as boring as can be when interviewed by the media.

Why ? :roll:

Because the qualities required to be elected by Eels members are the same qualities that attract journalists desperate to sell papers.

Most of us don't care what media say, we only care what the representative from our club apparently said. You really are a simpleton.

Do you mean that the average reading age of a telegraph subscriber is 12 and that's approximately the same IQ of a typical Eels Board nominee ?

There is no way back from those comments, he publicly dissed his own election ticket, disclosed what should have been private board matters, demonstrated a total lack of leadership and has lost all future credibility regarding board unity and leaks.

Bullshit. If we win the first 8 on the trot the punters won't care if he wears a dress to work and dates goats.

Bullshit, we'll be lucky to not lose the first 8 and the punters will want blood.
