Hey Denis how about you come out and tell us "this will be your last year" and make 2009 our year. Then we might just get one of our greats come back and lead our chargers, or at least have a input into our great club.

you'd be better inclined to ask that question at the AGM because he sure as hell won't see it here.

How do you go from Corporate Sales and Marketing to Football Manager?

From what Denis said at the Season Ticket Holders forum, he has been working with the Junior sides as a team manager for many years and in the last few started to deal with Player Managers assisting Tony Zappia with the NRL role.

I don't know how you go from Team Manager to Football Operations manager.

There is always that question as well.

Tough knees maybe.

Seriously though, is it just the old commie/unionist in me that finds something terribly disturbing about a workplace culture where a guy gets the arse a day before his wife gives birth?

Word is they were going to be kept on to after the end of the Season, but one of the 5 found out and started to make a noise about it so easier to get it over with now. Still as with any retrenchments the moral is going to be down for the next few months.

Nope.

I find it even more disturbing that it happened mid-season, and Jarad, along with Grant and Kaye, have been around the club a long time and are considerably well liked and it was done a couple of days out from the Bulldogs game.......

Not sure why something like that can be left until the end of the season.

We're only talking whole few weeks.

As for morale, they did look flat against the bulldogs and it seemed to carry over to the saints match.

Masterstroke Fitzy. Pushing for the finals, so lets rock the boat.:roll:

The old commie/unionist in you should also understand the concept of redundancy payments. Sacking a guy with that many years service wouldn't be cheap. I couldn't believe that a team that is that soft on the players and coaching staff would do this, so I would suggest that a little under the table agreement was made so he could get the extra redundancy from dismissal.

Speaking redundancy payments, all you guys who keep calling for DF's head should consider what it would cost to pay out someone who earns over $400k and has worked for the club over 20 years!

How long has Anderson been at the club?

FFS....the day before his wife gives birth??

Regardless of whether Fitzy was to get the arse or retire, with 20 years there would, I imagine, be quite a weighty liability that the club have, ie long service that he would be fully entitled to....whether he was to be sacked or retire.

Bit of a coincidence, maybe he needed the extra cash for the baby and was leaving anyway, or they really are bastards!

That the thing about sacking people, they have to pay out the redundancy on top of all the other entitlements that have made provisions for. I'd suggest with Denis the payout including the provisions you mentioned would run into the millions.

All the leave entitlements would have been provided for and would have to have been paid out at some stage anyway. It is often a relief to get rid of them as it can become very costly when they get pay reviews.

As for Denis payout - I don't think we would have too much trouble raising the money required.

It's costing us a lot more by having him there ...
