I love this concept that KT and Koch signed this deal which was really awful for us with the allusion that they had another option and they are bad negotiators. The interim deal was signed because the SMA had 100% of the leverage and some sort of agreement had to be put into place.
The only difference between Trigg and Fagan based on exposed form is that Fagan understands the value of aligning with KT on this one and shifting public opinion on the SANFL. Trigg was incredibly happy to sit behind Whicker and Olsen and push the "lolle poort tarps" mentality. All Fagan has done at this stage is recognise that he needs to align with KT so that his club can be profitable.
What was Fagan going to achieve prior to that interim deal that KT didn't? Was he going to be able to wave a magic wand over the SANFL and force a favourable deal? Even a favourable interim deal?
If that's the case, why hasn't he been able to get them to agree to terms after several months in the job?
It was the same nonsense with Haysman, who despite putting his career on the line by blowing the whistle on the terminal stadium deal and getting Demetriou in our corner for the entire new deal/licence handover/Adelaide Oval paradigm shift to happen, was apparently sat in the corner being patted on the head while Sir Steven Trigg OAM wheeled and dealed like Warmachine Buffalowings.
