Eels Appoint Brad Arthur as Head Coach

[I bleed blue & gold]

I think there will be.

I bloody hope so.

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

The Board members will not be changing their stance from what I'm hearing.

Sharpy should never of promised the role to Arthurs in the first place nor come out and say he prefers Arthurs over anyone.

To me, his position is untenable

If he did in fact promise the job to Arthur or do anything close to that, it is unbelievable. Completely ridiculous.

 

[Jodeci]

I bloody hope so.

We ALL hope so

It's getting beyond the joke.

The way Sharp has carried this out in the media is a disgrace.

He has made the members and club in general look like idiots

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Jodeci,

This is a serious question (not a shit-stirring one). Do you reckon there's any real chance that this tit-for-tat crap that has dominated our Board for the last X years can be sorted out under our current structure? Forgetting the attributes of any individuals, who for all I know may be perfectly decent blokes, I just don't see how this ends well unless something fairly drastic happens. Maybe winning the first 6 next would do the trick, but I'm not holding my breath.

 

[Jodeci]

He did

FACT

 

[strider]

why is our CEO silent on all this?

I don't want to say anything too early but seriously he should do his job and show some leadership.

I have no problem with him keeping quiet until things are DONE .... and not brain farting to every telegraph journo who rings up like some other numbnut seems to wanna do

 

[Chipmunk]

He did

FACT

If Brad Arthur was offered the job and he doesnt end up getting it, Brad Arthur could argue that he had a verbal contract with the Club that they did not honour.

Things at the Club are beyond a joke. Sharpe has to go after this shemozzle.

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

He did

FACT

Well, that's just idiotic. What a moron.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

It's not inconceivable that both candidates might have second thoughts in the present circumstances. I sure as f**k would. When's the next relevant Board election? End of my job.

 

[Jodeci]

Well, that's just idiotic. What a moron.

Here is one for ya

The New CEO told the new recruits who came in for a quick induction that Arthurs will be the head coach

You see, Sharp has promised Arthurs the job, hence the public support he has gotten.

And if Taylor is announced tomorrow as coach as voted by the board, pressure will build on Sharp

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

I predicted this yesterday and got shut down. As I said bye bye peats and hoppa if Taylor is coach.

 

[El Diablo]

Wayne Arthurs?

 

[Jodeci]

I predicted this yesterday and got shut down. As I said bye bye peats and hoppa if Taylor is coach.

I cant make a direct comment on that but you are on the money Noise

This is what I heard Jodeci. Sharp also told Sheens that he had the General Manager of coaching role. The majority of the board want Brian Smith.

What have those 2 players got against Taylor being coach?

. A vote of Parramatta directors is expected to confirm Jason Taylor as the next Eels coach within days.
Taylor, who has previously coached Parramatta in a caretaker capacity before taking charge of South Sydney for two seasons, was an assistant to Sydney Roosters mentor Trent Robinson this year and has been credited by players for refining their attack.
Taylor is also highly regarded by Eels superstar Jarryd Hayne after giving him his NRL debut in 2006 and managed to get the best out of Parramatta halfback Chris Sandow when he was at the Rabbitohs.

Fairfax Media was told that Taylor met Eels officials on Thursday and it is believed his appointment will be ratified either at a meeting or phone hook-up of the club's directors, who voted 3-2 against the recommendation of chairman Steve Sharp to give the job to Brad Arthur on Tuesday night.
Taylor, who was a member of the Eels' 2001 grand-final team before retiring to take up coaching, has always had a desire to return to the club in the top job and only narrowly missed out last year when the board opted to appoint Ricky Stuart.
Despite wanting Arthur, who coached Parramatta for six games at the end of the 2012 season after Stephen Kearney's sacking, Sharp has said he would work with Taylor if the majority of the board supported his appointment. New Eels chief executive Scott Seward, who started in the job two weeks ago, said he would make a recommendation to the board on the appointment of the coach.
''We are moving on it pretty quickly and I'd like to get to a stage where we can get it done soon,'' Seward said. ''It will be the recommendation of the CEO to the board and I will play my role in it.''
Seward said it was possible the Eels would announce the appointment of a general manager of football at the same time.
''I just want to make sure we get the right people because we need to build a culture of success here and that is what we are going to do,'' he said.
Parramatta players are due to resume pre-season training on November 7.

We could be getting closer to announcing a coach but I also thought the same in the weekend
