most stupid warriors management moves ever....

[sup42]

It won't surprise anyone to read me say that management's handling of Ivan Cleary is the greatest ongoing f**k-up in our history. Playing the bullshit jingoistic card in replacing him with an unproven Kiwi the first time (on the back of fan pressure) then ignoring him again for another unproven Kiwi. I think not signing him the second time will prove to be our biggest error of all time, and set us back more than anyone thinks right now. Hope I'm wrong, but when I see him take over and win matches with a Tigers side spilling over with subterfuge , media speculation and mercenaries, I honestly get mad when I know we could've had him and he'd instantly make us better - way better. But hey, we got bored of making finals apparently.

The god awful 'best club in the Southern Hemisphere' stuff, from which we've become worse and worse.

Re-signing McFudd for 3 more years after 4 games, then making the almost unprecedented in world sport move of keeping him on staff after being fired.

I have to admit I didn't know about the Bellamy stuff and him being close to considering us, which surprises me given the regularity I'm on this forum. Can anyone explain? Although just saying 'Wayne Scurrah' will suffice, given those two words will explain any level of useless f**king management.

In essence Bellamy was genuinely interested in coaching the Warriors.

Six Million dollars was tabled in an NRL $ record offer.

Six Million was only possible due to the ego backing of almost a billionaire Owen Glen.....*best sporting franchise special announcement*

Craig promised the Storm he would not break contract.....he still had a year to serve, the Warriors tried to get him to scrub that year and come to Mt Smart for the off season thereby forsaking his personal ties to the club he served.

Wayne Scurrah had other ideas. Wayne thought that the Warriors record offer was good enough....to force a man like Craig Bellamy to break his word and come to the Warriors the very next season.

It is well documented that the two parties met to thrash out the finer details.

That meeting took six hours.

Six hours .....Six Million dollars.....the number Six seems to have special relevance In this fiasco.

Bellamy stood his ground on two key points.

If the Warriors wanted Craig, they had to fork out for his staffers....in other words import the entire Storm System.

The Warriors were prepared to accept that requirement.

The sticking point remained the one year wait for Craig to follow through on his promise to his Storm players.

Scurrah went for our way or the highway.

It is a shame, since Craig sent his Assistant coach to Mt Smart as an envoy and a fill in coach for that one season he wanted the Warriors to give him a period of Grace ( David Kidwell). You can rest assured that DK reported back to Bellamy in a negative light.

You can also rest assured that the six hours Bellamy spent trying to reason with the Warriors....is six hours of his life he will never get back.

 

[Rich102]

Yeah, but it gave him a hell of a story to tell.

 

[JJ]

Scurrah, what a genius

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

What a douche

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Scurrah did okay in his first year or two cleaning up Mick Watson's mess and he was a good business and marketing manager.... but he knew 2/10ths of f**k all about making a football team successful

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Just wow. I had to read that a few times to get my head around it.

Wayne Scurrah was a marketer, and a f**king awful CEO with regards to football. I already knew we were still paying for his inept decisions but I didn't know we could've had Craig f**king Bellamy (which would've been this year?)

wow

I think the merry-go-round of like-for-like coaches post-Ivan has been embarrassing...especially prematurely extending their contracts before axing them before their original term was up. And now, McFadden is bloody running the water!!

So Vunivalu's in NZ as a teenager playing in the Blues' Development Squad before being snapped up by the Storm.

He's in the Warriors backyard, yet Melbourne nab him?

interesting that, still the case that most of the best talent is in union imo, have the Warriors signed any of it?

 

[vvvrulz]

McFadden the water boy is downright disgraceful

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

I must be the only one who doesn't have a problem with McFadden running the water?
Any tactics he is told to convey to the team are from Kearney directly, not him surely

This. As long he knows his place in the heirachy I don't mind it.

Yes... but explain the "shall we take the two debacle". Okay it is RTS who makes the final call, but...the waterboy is wired up isnt he.

I'd think he would be, to relay message of niggles back to the coach/physio team.

I also don't think that the 'shall we take two debacle' is the responsibility of the water boy. To put that down to the man who runs the water is non sensical imo. The players first and foremost should be held accountable. I'd like to think that Cappy would have been following up with Kearney as soon as there was unsurity but alas we will never know, but laying that on the man who runs the water is a bit of a stretch.

 

[MKEB...]

Most of the waterboy role these days is relaying coaches orders. McFadden was the coach and now a waterboy; and he knew no better? A waterboy doesnt just run up to a random player and say...ÿou need a drink.
Why else would you have a former coach in that role?
