Tim was given the task of appointing the coach.
He fails with ciraldo and out of the dozens more available, with current experience and good records, he abandons the process and appoints himself.
He doesn’t need to be coach to recruit.
Then he locks the club up for a further 3 years to person who is a young friend who has no coaching experience whatsoever.
Tens of millions of dollars of resources on a whim and matey basis. That’s extremely unprofessional and unappreciated.
Even sacked Madge for the failed Ciraldo campaign. He should have lined up Ciraldo first.
Instead, we were humiliated and the damage went on for months.
Now the release of Hastings over Brooks, another matey led policy.
We are nepotistic fiefdom.
"Tim was given the task of appointing the coach." Not sure he had total control over that but certainly he would have had a influential say in the matter
"He fails with ciraldo and out of the dozens more available, with current experience and good records, he abandons the process and appoints himself." Tried to sign Ciraldo, If they did try for Woolf he decided the Dolphins were a better option. I doubt any of the others were likely to bring us anything except more of the bog average at best sam old same old
"He doesn’t need to be coach to recruit." True but you do want the coach to have a strong influence in the matter.
"Then he locks the club up for a further 3 years to person who is a young friend who has no coaching experience whatsoever." If my memory is is correct Ricky Stuart had no coaching experience but was under the mentor ship of Phil Gould
"Tens of millions of dollars of resources on a whim and matey basis. That’s extremely unprofessional and unappreciated." I'm not reading our recent signings being done on a matey basis
"Even sacked Madge for the failed Ciraldo campaign. He should have lined up Ciraldo first." Can't see any benefit of keeping Madge on at the time. Sheens had nothing to do with giving Madge the reins again this year.
"Instead, we were humiliated and the damage went on for months." we have been humiliated and damaged goods for a long time before Sheens got here,
"Now the release of Hastings over Brooks, another matey led policy." Hasting had upset enough people with his strong personality he would not have been here past next year anyway.
"We are nepotistic fiefdom." I prefer to see it as we are a club that has realized our desperate situation and recognize we were at a stage we had to think outside the box and take some chances.
So as you can see Silverdale we have a difference of opinion. Time will tell who is right and I hope it is me, not for my own ego but for the benefit of a club you and I feel passionate about.
