He was brought to the club. He doesn’t tell the head office who to hang out with. Mannah could be talking about the various squads and maybe the fans. But the coach is not the one who tells the decision makers what to do. They hired him ffs, not the other way around.
They were gutted to see him go, despite his personal issues. He has never been without a club, including after his nine games for us. He played more games after Parra than he did before us, including another stint at Manly.
Because of his massive salary, not because he wasn’t a big name.
