If its true, and you'd suspect there has to be some truth, this is the moment Owen Glenn jumped the shark. If, for example, Bill Wavish didn't have the unanimous support, you'd suspect he'd be instantly removed as Chairman. I'd say the truth is Owen Glenn's representative didn't act in Owen's interests.
That said, perhaps the lesson to learn here is be honest at the outset that Matt had been asked to re-sign or he'd be fired. I agree with Owen on one thing, Matt is an honourable bloke, and reading Bill Wavish's statement, I genuinely believe Matt loved our fans passions. He's just not a great coach. I'd love to see Matt in the media, or working at the NRL. He'd be great value for the game there.
