I truly think we're stuck between a rock and a hard place...

* There's the Hindy article in the Tele saying that depending on coach, money, success, etc. whether or not he'll be an Eels for life

* There's Jake's thread "We have to sack the coach ... NOW!" where he says disharmony runs amok in the club

While most of us would agree that Smith's time is up, I am very concerned.

Why?

Because of Hindy. He said hi stay at Parra in the future would be dependant upon the coach (amongst other factors). He was also the guy publicly defending Smith.

Put two and two together and you get "Hindy likes Smith as his coach."

So if, as someone mentioned earlier, we sack Smith the Monday after our last game this season, how would Hindy take it?

 

[strider]

Hindy wasn't very specific at all was he....do we read it as "i want a new coach" or "i want this coach"?

I suppose people will read it however it fits their current view on Brian :lol:

hindy wont be an eel for life....sad but TRUE

 

[Eels Dude]

Unfortunately these days there appears to be no such thing as an 'Eel for life'. Who was the last regular first grader to play out their entire career with Parramatta?

And he left the club in '96 I think didn't he? Since then no-one, that's a real shame.

Gotta agree with Pazza, for every one positive post there are 500 negative posts then that one postive post becomes negative within 10 replies.

[Jake the snake]

Thats the thing I dont get Suity,

The Bulldogs and all credit to them have been through hell and back and they are leading the comp.

Our soft cock of a team has absolutely no excuse to be performing the way it is at the moment. And where are we?? On the f**ken bottom. It makes me sick.

It just tells u alot about the cultures of Both clubs doesn't it and the people managing it.
