Sack mcgregor

[muzby]

The Dragons are the only team in the NRL not to win a game this season...

Can someone remind of the last time we actually won a game?

It was that one you and I went to...

Over 9 months ago.

There are babies being had today that weren’t even conceived last time we won.

 

[LINESPEED]

Wait till meeting
Surely he goes today.

Gould’s only remaining use would be to oversee a total cleanout:

The entire club needs to be blown up’... and there’s a call for this man to fix the Dragons
NRL PREMIERSHIP

His continuing pseudo-defence of Mc FMD remains a pox on his career.

Oh, and BTW

Mc Gregor remains ‘coach’

Paul McGregor future: Dragons shock as coach survives

Paul McGregor has survived as St George Illawarra coach.

McGregor’s future was discussed at an emergency board meeting called by Dragons directors on Tuesday morning.

Amid pressure from fans and members, Saints’ board elected against axing McGregor despite the club’s 0-4 start to the 2020 season.

It is understood the club would have been forced into a $1m payout to oust McGregor.

Frustration at the club’s awful performances – which included finishing 15th last season – reached a crescendo after a 22-2 loss to fellow strugglers Canterbury on Sunday.

McGregor won just one finals game in his six-and-a-half seasons in charge of the famous club. He is though just four games into a new two-season extension.

The Dragons board was due to meet on June 16 but were forced to bring forward their discussions after Sunday’s horror loss.

It would have cost the club between $1.6m to $1.8m to sack and replace McGregor.

St George Illawarra is running dead last on the NRL competition table and hasn’t scored a try in 81 days.

Those close to the club are adamant senior players – including Ben Hunt, James Graham, Paul Vaughan, Corey Norman, Tariq Sims and Tyson Frizell – must share the blame and responsibility for McGregor’s demise.

Hunt and Norman are filling $2m a year in the club’s salary cap.

Earlier, close friend and former Blues teammate Laurie Daley indicated he would tell McGregor to walk away from the position.

“If I’m looking at Mary (McGregor) now and he asked me that, I know what I’d have to say to him,” Daley said on the Big Sports Breakfast on Tuesday morning.

“I would say mate, it’s not working. You seriously need to consider your position.

“I look at you now and you’re not the same person. It looks as though it’s getting to you. Do you need the stress in your life?”

So the media gets onto this emergency meeting, and releases the info to the public.
OK, now the honeymoon is over MR Webb.

Time to front the cameras.

I gave him the benefit of doubt as he's only just been appointed, but he needs to address this asap.

 

[St Georgio]

Have some friggin balls on the board those bunch of old farts.
Spoon for sure l
That's what the board wants .
In other words f**k the fans

I truly believe we are run by impostors!

[Forbes Creek Dragons]

Wasted half my RDO watching Netflix and checking updates all morning what a bloody waste of time I could have been doing something productive like having a wank, because that’s what our board seems to be doing.

 

[muzby]

Does anyone know if it’s possible to kick yourself in the crotch?

 

[J.moz]

Mary and the board needs to be removed after todays news. Members and supporters power need to email the football club.

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

I’ve always hated those guys who said shit like “I’ve been a supporter for 50 years...and now I’m leaving”

I totally get it now. This team makes it so hard for people to support it.

That isn't just support of the board that is actual f***ing support.

 

[TruSaint]

That isn't just support of the board that is actual f***ing support.

Gutless morons.
End of story.

What a pathetic statement to release.

 

[Gareth67]

F##king arse wipes ! You pathetic bunch of prucks , you are completely controlled by the WIN Corp and the Gordon’s .

I rue the day that mob bought into the Joint Venture , if only they had gone with one of the other bidders , we would not be in this soul destroying position that we now find ourselves .

There simply is no hope any longer for the Dragons , they may as well call us the Little Red V in future as that is what the club has become . Not interested is success on the football field , but only about the almighty dollar .

Arse wipes !

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

Does anyone know if it’s possible to kick yourself in the crotch?

yes it is. I’ve been doing it all my life following this club.

 

[Saint Angelo]

It is understood the club would have been forced into a $1m payout to oust McGregor.

Anyone looking for a reason don't need to go much further than that. They don't care if we end up with the wooden spoon. Shouldn't be surprised.

$1M PAYOUT ???

We will still pay for this bloke regardless !!!

 

[Reddragon]

They are just telling us not to care anymore. And you know what, I won't. That's it for me.

So The Gordons get their way again and invite further acrimony & disdain

...as they commit their so-called friend to months of ridicule and the potential life-threatening pressure alluded to by
Lozza.

....as the hatred for the coach intensifies

So it’ll be Turnstile & Hole-in-the-Wall on Teamsheet Tuesday & in your face for the remaining fans

... bring on the Sharks’ flogging

Such great theatre

(as the juniors now depart en masse)

 

[Puff]

yes it is. I’ve been doing it all my life following this club.

He isn’t lying either. I have seen him kick himself in the nuts at many games

 

[TruSaint]

We have much greater issues than Mary, or any coach.
If ever you doubted that, then today should dismiss those doubts.
