Rumours and Stuff

Clinton was one of those once. ....

Still lives there. Will always be a manly junior.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

I actually think BA is staying - no mail on it just an Avenger level gut feeling.

Same

Maybe this has been his plan all along. GUTHO, get over there, win em a spoon, get yourself the captaincy then once they are back on the up, leave!

I’ve got a feeling Arthur is pretty much gone. Part of Gutherson’s contractural silly buggers is trying to pressure the club to re-sign his mate Arthur.

You’d think the club would of re-signed him once we got 4-2 from 6. There seems to be a reason why they’re holding off. It doesn’t make sense.

Yep. Thats the way im reading it Poo. If thats the case I really hope they find a gig for him in the organisation. Hes B&G to the core and the players love him.

How much clearer could they be? They said we'll look at it in June, and they're sticking to it.
I feel like our club is trying to wrest back some control of recruitment from the media and player managers, who clearly think they run the game. It's not pretty, but for better or worse they are sticking to their guns.

I don't see him staying to take up a lesser role at the club. If he's not head coach, he'll walk away IMO. Weird thing is, even though we're only 7 rounds in coming off a spoon season last year, his stocks have risen compared to where they were a little while back.

Since there June comment, they’ve come out and said they fast track things with BA. We’re now in May, as a fan id like some clarity, before we jeopardise another season. Surely they’ll have some idea in which direction they’re travelling. If they’re hellbent on waiting till June, it could be disastrous. And why June, why not August?

 

[Soren Lorenson]

I think it was June as that's about halfway. We still have a bit to prove. Like I said, for better or worse.

That's not what they said. They said that it may be brought forward...presumably on the basis of continuing winning results.

“One thing I can tell you is the deadline won’t be pushed out, but it may be brought forward,” Eels chairman Sean McElduff told the Herald.

What if we lose the next 3 games? I hope we don't but you can understand why the club wan't some longer term evidence of improvement before committing again. It's not as if BA is likely to be head-hunted for 2020.

Is anyone really lining up to pay Gutho $650k. Would be a Mongo club paying those overs.

Most sense I've heard on the topic.

It moved from end of June to start of June and BA is happy with that timeline.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Its all a bit weird though. 5 years and we dont know but 4 more games and we will? I suppose they have to put a line in the sand somewhere. I reckon our performances versus Canberra and Newy and our last 20 minutes of The Chooks games have probably hurt his cause more than the big win over The Tigpies has helped.
I also think if BA is not to be retained the timing of that announcment might turn the teams effort to shit. They say timing is everything .

So it’s flip flopping like you had a 2 week old vindaloo?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

No I expected the club would know that six games means f**k all. You can look at it as a 67% win rate but the reality is it’s a 50% win rate +/- one win.

If we’re still hovering around 50% by mid year will we keep him? I’d say we should, but the club has a fair bit of info that I don’t have.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I think plenty of unemployed head coaches would be happy with a job as an assistant, especially those who haven’t had a long career earning big money.

The question is whether he could do it at Parra without his presence being a disruption.

If Gurr goes they might all shuffle up one position.

 

[strider]

I actually think it’s a bad sign for us. If he weren’t interested, he’d say nothing. By saying this, I think it indicates they are interested but they also don’t want to be dragged into bidding war. If media bullshitted about one offer, what’s to stop them from bullshitting our counter offer to Manly, and so on

Absolutely 100%

Parra fans read what parra fans wanna hear

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Maybe he could just smile occasionally and no one would recognise him.
