On Friday of last week, a boardmember directly said " there will be an end to all the rubbish very soon, don't worry, it's going to be fixed up"
read into that what you will, however the only possibly translation from what I see is that the board will sack anderson on his return. A reason given was that there was not enough time to properly negotiate an amicable settlement before Anderson left for the roo tour, hence the boards limp wristed "solution" of putting everything off until he returns.
I tend to think that the board would rather Anderson is sacked after the tour becuase it will mean the papers are not as interested in league and the circket season will be well underway.
Sorry, but Chris Anderson will not be the sharks coach next year, Raper is the man.

was that wrong at all I ask sir !? ( this is fun, a bit like law and order ! )

I think people will be VERY surprised at what transpires in the last week of November this year / first week of December, regarding our coach for next season.

Danny Boy, you should not lower the aura of one of our worlds finest tunes by behaving so titchy when posting under such a name.
The decision for the coaching job next year has been made, but not by the people who everyone thinks need to make it. An action by a party involved over 12 weeks ago will decide the coaching position next year, one that not many people know about.
For mine I think it will be a good option and will allow our club to move forward solidly

Both Greg Pierce and Simon Gillies would be possibilities.
Don't know why they'd bother having SR run the side though if they had a surprise in store.
I think the surprise will be more in line with how things happen rather than who will be there

Not far off the mark.
However the issue of WHY this choice has been made, as I said, from an incident in the past, is what will keep our club...Nay......Our SPORT in the front pages for the best part of 10 days.

I don't think that Andersons new positive stance changes things all that much. It was never in his hands as to whether or not he stays next year, and that has not changed now.
It sounds as if he knows he is going and by saying how much he wants to stay, is trying to make the board look bad for sacking him.
He has done a fine job with the Test team, but I wonder how many years Anderson genuinely has left as a head coach ? regardless of whether that is at the sharks or elsewhere .

yet more evidence to tender your honour !
:-
Now, I offer the chance for the prosecutor to show the court what items from the above evidence I stated have proved WRONG after this weeks events ?
Reading back, yes, 10 days is along time for ANY news to be on the front page, but we can all be prone to exageration at times, I apologise if that has upset you, however read what I posted, READ it, and read my response to Frenzy's post, and you will see that the issue was never about WHO would coach the team, but who made the decision, and THAT my learned friend has not yet BEEN reported, and THAT is the reason that I believe headlines will be made.
That you have not put two and two together already knowing me and what other items I have posted on here since my arrival is not my fault, I prefer a little intrigue and to spell it out seems rather tedious, I much prefer Frenzy, he seems to have his eye on the ball. ! ( joking millersnose, just joking)
