Hasler and Bulldogs part ways

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

Interesting about the Warriors one as Triple M were saying this morning that Maguire had knocked back the Warrington Wolves job as he wanted to stay in Australia.

I really hope Titans can land Mcguire.

Des >> Warriors is my "out of nowhere" prediction

 

[Life's Good]

This has been handled very poorly by the Dogs. To trot out a 2 year extension(in public, with no mention of any clauses, terms etc.)can only serve to strengthen any case Hasler might have for wrongful dismissal/termination. Not to mention reputational damage associated with a very public sacking such as this. It's going to be soap opera no doubt.

Really? After the back-ended mess he left you with last time?

Sounds like the dogs are shafting him big time. I'd be very Suss about agreeing to be their next coach if that how they behave.

We get him we get Singe back and possibly Toovey

I'd let him home to get rid of Barrett

Yeh, even if they get away with not paying him a settlement, their reputation will be in the toilet...

Who would trust a Doggies agreement again?

From a lawyer;

Dib is talking absolute effing nonsense - he probably knows that and is intentionally trying to deceive.

The Dogs are very likely liable for the extra years on Des' deal - because although only "heads of agreement" (I hate that term) was signed - it's still a letter of intent to renew the deal, and can form the basis for a verbal contract. The fact that the Dogs publicly paraded the 'fact' Hasler had re-signed really hurts them, as the biggest problem with enforcing verbal contracts is proving their existence... the public statement helps Hasler here, damaging any argument as to intent on the Bulldogs' part (as does the fact that it is an extension of an existing contact, removing one of the other typical problems with verbal contract claims - specific terms).

It's likely that there will be a settlement and the Dogs will be paying Hasler at least some of the money from that extension, because Des doesn't seem to me to be the type of guy to not pursue it - hard.

 

[bedlam breakout]

tony smith - ex England coach - don't rule that out

 

[POPEYE]

this Dib bloke just proves that there's no myth in a club.

get the wrong dickhead in power, and any joint will go to shit.

if i was a canterbury member, i'd be demanding elections and getting him out of the club ASAP

Can't fight progress, the entire SWS has gone to shit . . . 'Dib' is a synonym for the joint, 'Bulldog' is now an anacronym

Laughed when I saw Des on the news being asked about his contract by a reporter, shrugging it off and suggesting it was time for a coffee, "Your shout" he said to the hapless jouno. He's got a rep for being tighter than a nun's nasty.

Took it with good humour did old Des.

Obviously knows he's in with a good chance of a pay day in a settlement with the Dogs and will probably parachute into another top line coaching gig on a decent wicket.

Reports in today's Sydney Morning Herald reckon that Dib's ploy is to try and get Des to take a less than 7 figure payout. Reason is that this coming season the Football Department Cap comes into play, and if Des is paid out on or after 1 November 2017, any payout will count against the Bulldogs Football Department Cap (as it includes Coaches salaries).

Sounds like a Dib problem, not a Des problem.

 

[Omnishark2]

While Dib's word is probably needing to be taken with a grain of salt, a video to members today outlined that the contract extension wasn't finalised and Hasler won't be getting a cent from the new deal

He is dreaming - doesn't matter what propaganda Dib puts out, Des will be getting a payout.

Spot on - 100% correct.
Dib is spouting crap, and Bulldogs members should remember this at the next elections,.

That's not the Family Club I know!

I just cant see the Dogs getting off so lightly and nor should they. They have played the media and their fans for fools and deserve what they get.

I find it strange how Bulldogs fans are celebrating like there is no tomorrow over this. Yeah the Dogs were dogshit this year but I wouldn't say Hasler's tenure was a failure

Under Des the Bulldogs won the minor premiership and made 2 grand finals and only missed the finals once. He got the best out of Hodkinson, Reynolds, J.Morris, Barba, Rona and Inu of the top of my head and under his watch Klemmer and Jackson along with Reynolds became representative players. 2 are mainstries in Australia and NSW sides and one won an origin series.

Wouldn't say that he was a total failure

Who's saying it's a total failure?

His inability to change game plans, poor recruitment and awful player contracts is why he is out on his ass.
