To some extent, but at other times, it’s human nature and the pursuit of justice is something we all have in us to various extents.
Ivan treated us very badly. He told us he was committed and he was well paid and treated very kindly. We signed players in accordance with his wishes. He told everyone he was on the bus. He garnered support from the whole club. People looked out for him.
Then young Nate signs for 5 years and ivans in quiet secretive discussions ( or his agent is) with you guys behind our backs.
And then instead of telling the players face to face he’s going, he sends a general text and he’s never seen again. Players were very upset. We had been deeply betrayed....
We all thought it was very unprofessional and many people were hurt and remain so.
His word is not his word. He is simply not creditable.
That doesn’t excuse the angry foul mouthed dad for his outrage, but if it happened to you, you would find forgiveness a bridge too far as well. Like me, you may be more adult with your message.
We don’t think he has the moral fibre or is of good character to serve as a coach in the NRL.
It reflects poorly on your management that you gave him this opportunity to hurt us.
Nothing against you long suffering and rightfully proud fans of the chocolate soldiers. We don’t blame you except those who rub our faces in it.
Ivan will be gone from the game one day and normal transmission will resume. But so long as he’s a coach, our sense of justice will remain strong.
And why May is still on your books is unknown. What he did to those young women is deeply troubling, makes me feel sick thinking about it. It’s quite insulting to your female fans and members. There’s no panthers without these women. It’s a horrific message to send to your own. A lot of guys think it’s senseless as well. I’m sorry, but it’s not the Panther way.
That’s why I worry about where you are heading.
