But it still stands that the money he was on would have been under the spot light! SPECULATION have a look at the revolving door of quality players you've had!! Sorry mate but that ain't speculation no more it's fact!Glen said:I'm not going to defend our recruitment over recent seasons, I know it has been terrible. But Andrew Ryan signed with the Dogs BEFORE the salary cap scandal broke out, so he wasn't leaving Parra for a club in turmoil at that point. And I hate when people pretend to know what goes on inside a club when most of it is just speculation
desperate shopping spree :roll: on one hand you critise parra for not buying players next minute its a desparate shopping spree, i guarantee if those players were going to the tigers you'd have a dfferent opinin and no i am not defending smith or fitzgerald you are absolutely rightRifRaf said:It was fairly common knowledge that he was unhappy with Smith along with various other players... The fact that he moved to side in as much turmoil as the Dogs were still over his current side would show that no matter how much money was on offer (which couldn't have been that much considering the magnifiying glass was on all the Dogs finances at the time and they were cutting current contracts).. Come on start defending your moronic coach ad his player retention program... Brian Smith = 90's Warren Ryan. 2 years of good at a club then a downward spiral... I really hope for your fans sake that the desperate shopping spree him and Fitzy have gone on does halt the fall...
Where did I critise you for not buying players (all I said was I didn't think Ryan wanted to stay)?? Where did I bag the players you've bought? That's one of the most schizo post I've ever read... What exactly were you trying to say??? Take a deep breath and try again...eelsta said:desperate shopping spree :roll: on one hand you critise parra for not buying players next minute its a desparate shopping spree, i guarantee if those players were going to the tigers you'd have a dfferent opinin and no i am not defending smith or fitzgerald you are absolutely rightRifRaf said:It was fairly common knowledge that he was unhappy with Smith along with various other players...

RifRaf said:If you can't see why others may see your ceo's and coach's recruitment drive after such a poor season and failed previous recruitment policies being somewhat deperate then you need to check yourself before you wreck yourself...
RifRaf said:Hand in their resignations and give someone else a go....
RifRaf said:Well I hope the joke doesn't end up on poor suckers like you then..... You have a hell of a lot riding on this year... I pity those who hang around if you fail again..
