How did we end up here?

[Stagger eel]

Then I'm sorry but the guy (SK) was out of his tree!!!

yes..can you imagine a CEO and chairman saying to him we'll get you all the help you need and then just brushing it off? Jesus H Christ!!!

This probably explains why Chris Anderson was brought in to oversee all aspects of the footy club and as a mentor to the former coach.

yeah unfortunately the damage was well and truly done by then.

That's a valid point buddy

 

[Maroubra Eel]

What damage?

 

[strider]

does anyone know if it was true that SK refused other offers of help before Anderson?

from what I understand a choiuce of 3 prominant league identities were shoved under his nose and was told to choose one and thats where opes came in.

 

[strider]

we really bent over for the guy

 

[Jodeci]

we really bent over for the guy

The story about Taylor coming to help early in the peace had merit as he was one of the 3 mentioned as his contract with the roosters is like a hand shake deal and could leave whenever he wanted

 

[MarkInTheStands]

I don't think we "Bent over" for this guy, I think we did everything in our power to justify the decision made in late 2010, however that seems to have not worked.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

SK definitely bent us over.

More so if we ended up paying him out for next season as well.

 

[Suitman]

More so if we ended up paying him out for next season as well.

If that's the case, so did Anderson.
Smith bent the Roosters over.
I'd reckon EVERY coach has it in their contract.
Hell, even the Tiger's are trying to work out how they won't have to pay Sheen's $1 million for next year by trying to off load him elsewhere.

Suity

We didn't

He resigned.

 

[bartman]

We didn't

He resigned.

I was hoping that would be the deal.

True, most three year contracts these days could be read in practice as being two years with an option, as that's how it often seems to end up.

But I don't think Anderson could be claimed to have bent us over through receiving a payout for the way he was treated, as his leaving was not based on anything substantial imo other than a misplaced desire to somehow get Kearney into the joint.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

I was thinking he bent us over because we were paying him decent money and he had absolutely no idea. Where can I get a gig like that?

 

[bartman]

I think perhaps only Ossie and Duncan can explain that one.

 

[Eels Dude]

This probably explains why Chris Anderson was brought in to oversee all aspects of the footy club and as a mentor to the former coach.

It explains why Jodeci, but it should have been done a lot earlier and perhaps not someone of SK's choosing but the best person for the job. Did Chris Anderson even last 2 weeks at the club?

come work where i work - i'm pretty sure my managers are just making shit up as they go along

 

[strider]

We didn't

He resigned.

so you know for a fact that he isn't getting anything from us next year?

while it was talked about as a resignation, I got the impression it probably wasn't that clear cut

 

[Maroubra Eel]

If SK really did resign for no payment next year he's nuttier than I thought.
