Thought I'd start a new thread because this is what is the most important issue now. Ramifications........there will be many.
Firstly Anderson did not leave on happy terms as wrongly reported by some. There will be some court action for sure which should drag on for most of next season. More headlines in the papers to distract players and most likely money spent on lawyers and probable final payout for which the club can ill afford.
Our best player will be filthy. Whether Noddy will have the same passion and determination about the place we will have to wait and see. Under Anderson he has always fired....... under other coaches he has struggled.
Phil Bailey is highly likely to move on. The crap I have read written about this guy on this forum lately is alarming. Obviously those people didn't go to games last year because I reckon he was one of our top three players. He is only going to get better and the rep games he played last year will only bring him on quicker. Obviously the board think rep players are expendable.
Which brings me to that rotten stench we have in the Leagues Club. The board of directors. The players have no faith in them. Outsiders think they are a joke. Yet they stay in this whole mess. A lot of fans have had a gutful of their antics and some will show their grief of the boards decisions in overseeing this with their feet and hip pocket. I am one of them. I will not be renewing my 3 season tickets in the Peter Burns stand for 2004. I will also be sending a letter to the club stating why I am not renewing with the application renewal form. The club will not be getting $1200 which is usally spent at the ground plus the cost of my tickets.
Player retention will be interesting in the next 2 to 3 years. So many up incoming juniors were in awe of Anderson. They may be swayed that they might learn better about the game elsewhere. Phil Gould & Co. have plenty of pull and $$$$.
Player recruitment. Thank god we bought well for next season. Because I can tell you now if you were an opposition player would you come to this joint whilst this current board presides? Doesn't exactly smack of direction and leadership.
Sponsors. Some might of wanted Anderson to go . But I can tell you plenty wanted him to stay. If we have any further dramas (Most Likely) they are sure to pack up the tents and go.
Apparently the incoming coach was a big fan of Treister. If you want to roll a hand grenade into the Sharks camp then bring him back. It is well publicised the spat he and Kimmorley had. If you want to unsettle the team then roll him back in.
If anyone thought that sacking Anderson would deliver a rainbow over the Shire you are very nieve. The drama is just starting to unfold. The power struggle on and off the field will be bigger than anything before.
