Turvey blasts Fitzgerald
By James Hooper
May 17, 2006

FORMER Bulldogs supremo Steve Mortimer last night questioned Denis Fitzgerald's reign at Parramatta in the wake of Brian Smith's shock departure.

Blasting the decision to dump Smith as coach for 2007 before the start of this season, Mortimer pointed a finger at Fitzgerald and demanded the Eels chief executive be held accountable.

"I don't have an allegiance to Brian Smith but I think he's a great bloke and obviously a good coach," Mortimer said.

"Maybe the board should consider if Denis Fitzgerald made the right decision and maybe not just Brian Smith should be held accountable.

"The CEO must be accountable to the football club directors.

"I think it's appalling that such a decision was made before the season even started.

"I feel for Brian Smith, being an ex-player and CEO, there's no doubt it affects the morale of the team."

What next

John Ribot having a go

really wasn't at all surprised that he took a pot shot at the 1st chance

 

[strider]

i'm sure denis will cop it - i think he knows he's thrown the stones first

 

[Hurriflatch]

don't get me wrong

not saying that Denis hasn't brought this upon himself

but I'm not at all surprised that Mortimer is the 1st one in.

 

[PB]

Moritmer is right. I can't believe i am saying that but he is.

He copped it and resigned amongst things he had no control over. Denis actually had control over this situation.

 

[mickdo]

Quite frankly, Mortimer should shut his big mouth. His club is a disgrace. GGF.

 

[Parraboy]

Mortimer should be the last one to say anything.
Have a good look at his wonderful club's record with coaches and admin.
I sure the hughes family remember!!!

At least they have delivered a few premierships in recent memory...

 

[fish eel]

Turvey himself was such a success in the top job, wasnt he?

 

[Glenn]

Hmmm and what has this got to do with Steve Mortimer???

 

[mickdo]

By cheating!!! Do you want Parra to go down that path? f**k me... :crazy:

 

[PB]

Seems there is a bit of this today....

Where people can't have an opinion unless they are an Eels supporter on a keyboard.......

Glass houses...

Have you seen Denis do this

March 22: Bulldogs chief executive Steve Mortimer resigns, saying he had done his best to act in the interests of the club: "In my role as CEO, I have to take some of the responsibility for the events of the last few weeks."

The famous sign on Harry Truman's desk said, "The buck stops here."

Denis needs a new plaque in his office

Have you seen Parra busted for cheating? Have the players been dragged through a rape investigation? Put it in perspective ffs.
I don't particularly like Fitzy, but don't even try and compare what has happened under his reign to the disgrace that is the scum cheating dogs...

 

[Tyler Durden]

fitzy and the board have not made exactly the best decision, and all those that have been waiting for a shot are lining up

brett kenny and ray price have been on the TV offering their expert opinons on the club and management
and i'm sure raaaaaaaaaaaay will devote some time on the weekend

 

[parralight]

How come Turvey isnt up Pentrith or Canberra or Newcastle ???
NO just hit Parra when they are down.
IMO - Turvey - thanks for your thoughts ........
