Rumours and Stuff

Jurgen Klopp is available guys.

If it’s true 1.5 mil payout for the worst coach in the history of the Eels. Someone in management needs to be sacked.

Rothfield said the figure was $700k.

 

[emjaycee]

Spotlight now turns on the management. The fact that they now made it public about Bennett and failed is incompetent. The fact that they left chasing him so late is even worse. Our CEO and Chairman have turned us into the Tigers

If they hadnt made public the fact they had been chasing him, then they would be labelled incompetent for not chasing him... and so they make it public and are labelled incompetent. Always Loose/Loose for the Eels hey.

“If”. What would be an acceptable amount to terminate a coach so many were desperate to get rid of? Wasn’t going to be zero. For better or worse the world doesn’t work that way.

 

[Soto]

He was a f**kwit how he carried on about Davey. Even his supporting ‘facts’ were incorrect.

No he was correct. Davey was another Arthur flop, catapulted from dogs reserve grade to our first grade. His signing then demoted Doorey who was going well...
I'm glad the club has acted. Hopefully his departure now sends an almighty message especially those who would die for BA to aim up or f#^% off

The bald ages are over! This forum is going to need brand new jokes!

BAs gotta go

We’ve been loose/loose for the last 38. We are over these guys leading us to the bottom of the table.

Disagree. The club has shown some balls here to do what they've done.
It's also refreshing to know he was going to be boned at the end of the year if results didn't improve and they started sounding out a replacement. The fact they were smart enough to see membership, sponsorships, crowds, merchandise sales were about to massively plummet they need to be applauded. Reputational damage to keep the coach on who had become bereft of ideas would've been huge and taken years to repair.
There is now a ray of hope for this year and into next year.
I wouldn't be surprised if the club received hundreds of emails last night from disgruntled paying fans wanting to terminate their membership and demand a refund...
Today is the beginning of a new era.
The club needs to be congratulated

I reckon we should be allowed to keep the BA jokes untill the end of 2025 when his contract was meant to go to. After 11yrs It's only fair.

Get to work! We need fresh ideas FFS!

Barrett's gotta go

Sack Barrett.

That f**ker thinks he’s going to have an easy time. lol, ohhh Trent we’ve seen your shit clunky attack for the last 2 years now as you coached our attack (or lack of it). We’ve also laughed at the Bulldogs when you coached them. SACK TRENT!

THE SHATTERING CALL
Arthur will receive around a $750,000 payout after club chair Sean McElduff and CEO Jim Sarantinos broke the news to the shattered head coach.

“It’s a decision you never like to deliver upon anyone, but to Brad’s credit, he took as best you could imagine,’’ Sarantinos said.

“It was time for us to move in a different direction as a club and now we’ll move forward with the process of finding the next head coach of the Parramatta Eels.

“We won’t rest now. We think there’s a lot of appeal to our roster. We think there’s a lot of appeal for our club, in terms of our scale, our size, our resources that we can provide to support the coach.

“Whether that is the job for an established coach, one that has had a track record of success or a young emerging coach, we’ll go through that entire process.

“We’ll search high and low for the perfect selection right across the rugby league landscape here and overseas.’’

My dad had just died and I was feeling nostalgic. Anyway, that merkin made me follow them. This is what lefties call intergenerational trauma.

Sorry to hear that, mate. Hope you're okay. Take care of yourself.
Cheers.

They’d already said they were not interested publicly so never had to mention Bennett again. It’s not like he was going to bring it up.

It’s stupidity to publicly announce you tried for 18 days to sign someone and they said no.

It’s like saying “we suck at our jobs” out loud.

Sure, I am not saying I would have announced it either. I am just saying that for the last 2 weeks they have been called incompetent for not even chasing him. Then when we find out they have been, they are called incompetent anyway.
