Gubby Allen

[SugarCoat]

Sorry for the intrusion guys.
Has just been mentioned in Melbourne media that Gubby Allen has applied for the soon to be vacant football director job at Collingwood.
Apparently he is keen to come home and be close to his family in the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne.

Now that would be a loss.

No intrusion. Rumors about SOS and now Gubby. Go home factor looming larger for the Giants. Please, no cracks about Mummy's boys.

Which Melbourne media?

Which Melbourne media?

Was on SEN this morning. Journalist from The Australian discussed the approach.

Thanks for the heads up.
Sucks for us if that is true.

So assuming Denham in which case his no chance of leaving the Giants.

Has Eddie got a million $$$ in compo to give us if true?

 

[SugarCoat]

Jon Ralph & Jay Clark have also gone with it apparently too.

 

[captainMyCaptain]

Still doubting it but if it does happen would have to think Pelchen is heading our way which doesn't fill me with joy.

But SugarCoat you really need to start throwing some source/link around otherwise people might think ........

Wonder if eddie would be all for compo for us if true

What is his contract status?

What is his contract status?

Honestly no idea

That is from a Andrew Hamilton.

Eddie McGuire’s very public compensation stance is set to have a fascinating post-script with mail circulating around the competition that the Pies are trying to lure GWS head of football Graeme Allan back to Collingwood.

Looks like it might very well have legs, also normally when this type of thing rears its head the club comes out pretty quick on it but at this stage ...nothing!

 

[captainMyCaptain]

But suggestions GWS footy boss Graeme Allan would turn to the Pies have been refuted by Collingwood insiders.

Team making the approach denies it...must have some legs.

I actually think that is great news for the Giants and the rest of the comp. Get rid of Gubby before he royally *s your club like he ended up doing with Brisbane, send him back to Cololingwood to hasten their slide into the abyss

15 years/$10 mil. We dont do things in halves up here.

He already f*cked us once in the '90s too, similarly to how he did Brisbane. Do not want.

Honestly that's my thought. He did well at multiple clubs, but his love of kicking the can down the road contract-wise means that at some point it'll explode into a lost five to ten years. It's been a worry of mine since GWS recruited him, though SOS as actual list manager has hopefully mitigated some of that.
