Now about Matty Johns then Frenzy?

I think he'd be a good option but don't like his chances after calling the management dribblers

 

[King of the Hill]

Matt Johns is so busy with media commitments that he has been turning down offers of work, I believe his Saturday sports show is wrapping up and he has knocked back an ongoing guest spot with 2Day FM.

Besides, he wouldnt knife Ando in the back.

I've said it before that I'd like to see Dean Treister back in some capacity, whether it be as a player, or part of the coaching staff. I'd give him one of the junior teams to coach if he was willing.

I agree with Frenzy. Those of you who picked Chris Anderson tentativley are not putting your money where your mouth is, so to speak. The sharkies board is the same, I mean the coach had to come out and say Back me or Sack me. Put on the spot like that, they made their decision, while privately they probably wish they had the money to pay him out and have Stuart Raper back. A coach they know they can control.

The fact is that Ando wants to coach the players, the players want to be coached by Ando and most of the

fanatics

is there any other kind?

want Ando. The board need to stay in the background where they belong or they might be stuggling for a job soon too. I have a vote and at the moment it won't be to keep this board.

In saying that though, Ando shouldn't have blown up and sacked Theo and Pierce like that. He reacted badly and went over the top.

Let's look forward to 2004. Win us the comp Ando!

McSharkie things have changed.

A month or two ago when the board reaffirmed Ando as coach, most were behind him.

Now he has spat the dummy because of a dispute in which he has the ultimate conflict of interest. People have the right to change their mind, or offer a tentative 'yes' on the issue now.

I wonder how Kent/Franze/Merritt/Emilio/Milford/whoever was going to play reserves behind Jarrad Anderson would have felt next year when Anderson pushed forward with his plans to play the hapless junior in first grade?

 

[plazzi]

opes,

opes 3 raper 1

We know he can win it 4 us. He has been there done that.

 

[millersnose]

off to maths class with you plazzi

 

[bull shark]

Frenzy, I think you'd find that a reasonable portion of the CA vote is a very tentative vote indeed. For example: I voted for CA but not because I want him as coach but because I'd rather not see the club go broke for the sake of another season under his guidance...

Ahh yes tentative. Little brother to sitting on the fence.

Don't wanna say nay in case he wins. Don't wanna say yay in case he loses.

Same behaviour as the board of directors. Not enough courage of conviction at the Sharks across all levels. But that's how we've always been

No it's not sitting on the fence.

Do I want to get rid of Chris Anderson? Yes!
Do I want to bankrupt the club and maybe lose some senior players? No!

It's not a simple question of who do we prefer. It's a matter of what price are we willing to pay. The question should have been:

If getting rid of Chris Anderson cost the Sharks nothing financially and none of the senior players (esp. BK & PB) would leave, then who would you prefer as coach.

Then I think the results would have been very interesting.

But.. the point is quite theoretical because we all know that if CA is forced out then there will be at least the cost of a court case, which, even if the Board won, would still damage the club even further.

So the board is not simply procrastinating. They are in the situation that they've taken on a guy who has developed classic paranoia (everyone'e to blame except me ), and now they have to decide between tolerating this paranoid personality in a position of utmost importance, or else pay out a huge amount of money. Not an easy choice methinks.
