Can't have Bickley in the box in 2015. I don't care who he is and what he accomplished as a player. An assistant coach shouldn't survive 2 head coaches on a team that's made the finals once in the last 5 years.

Its fine to talk the talk, but Fagan needs to walk the walk especially with Bickley being part of the failure of our last two coaches.
 
Footy classified brought up some interesting stuff on the coaches. Hutchie who is good friends with Thompson said that Thompson would prefer the GC job over Essendon but if he is offered the dons job first he will take it. Hutchie was saying GC should just offer him the job right now and they will get their man. You would think then that Bass would be a shoe in for the dons job. We might not have the time our club thinks we do.

If he has any ambition to ever be a head coach, he'd be going elsewhere. Hell, he should have walked out the door when Sando was given the job. Perhaps nobody else wants him. Actually, that makes a lot of sense.

My JFClarko theory....

Sando sacked so Adelaide have a dip at Clarko via manager.

Manager tells Clarko that its time to check his valuation.

Manager asks Crows what they are willing to pay as he would be really interested in speaking with them if the offer was around $X million over Y years.

Crows dig into future membership sales and agree and get really excited but keep on down low to avoid rocking the boat on negotiations. Some in the know people do findout however (Croweater?) but are really coy with the rumour as this deal involving a high profile target is huge.

Manager thrilled with Clarko's payrise but needing it to be common knowledge (as Clarko does not want to coach the Crows) he looks to leak the story to any media muppet that would take it to materilise the offer to the public. Proving difficult as they tried this a year earlier with WCE and burnt a high profile reporter in the process they finally find the king of muppets in Adelaide willing to leak the story.

Once offer is leaked by Jars with specific details Clarko was able to deny and his manager conveniently cancels negotiations on the basis there was a leak and it scared him off.

Clarko and manager sit back smoking cigars comfortable with an potentially even higher price on his head for when he resigns with Hawks (or rival Vic club - Collingwood?) at the end of next year.

To save face those that were coy desperately use Bolton as the high profile target.

Crows board have to follow through and go with a rookie coach dumb enough to go up against Ken Hinkley in a two club town.

It's all business peeps...
 
FFS AFC make Bass the coach and be done with this.

The simple fact is, that the supporters will not crucify you if Bass does stuff up. However, losing Bass and then appointing someone else may give the impression of sloppy seconds and supporters baying for blood when things go pear shaped.
 
Relax people. There`s allot going on behind the scenes! This is all big business and profits in more ways than one. Not Sunday school.
Crowhorse suggested fair theory's to a lesser extent. Doesn`t matter what is said seen leaked throughout the media and public.
Read between the lines. Connect the dots. Think and be patient ... don`t react.
Surely buy now it`s getting more and more obvious????? Oh and there`s something called a "telephone" too lol

The AFC have this one! Have for a while now. For once:rolleyes:
Just waiting for things to settle and finalize for various reasons. You guys will see! There will be no disappointments!!

Oh and.... IMO of course
