Opinion Matthew Nicks: Adelaide's Coach (Part 2) - Full Support of the Board

[adelaidecrows]

I heard in the urban dictionary a new definition for the phrase 's**t the bed' has been created.

It simple says - Adelaide Crows re-signing of Nicks.

 

[Peter Doherty]

This is not a united team.

 

[Scorpus]

Will Nicks take any responsibility for this start or will he just continue his Classic Crows mantra and blame the players?

 

[DJ75]

This club is broken (again). Just pay him out and be done with it.

A complete clean-out is needed (again). Him, the assistants, Kelly, Silvers, Olsen and Ogilvie can all pack their bags.

If you don’t start with Roo, then don’t bother.

 

[Shuestar13]

Completely unacceptable and he will be deservingly feeling the heat now. Major questions need to be asked as to how out of form and confidence the majority of the group are. I didn’t think you were too far off the first fortnight, but this is a major, major regression.

 

[DJ75]

This is not a united team.

Looks a very confused team. No idea what the game plan is

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Incredible the club felt the need to give him a 2 year extension before seeing how we would go this season.

If the season continues to derail, heads must roll at the club as there was no need to rush the decision.

The directors should pay any early payout out of their own pockets... rather than putting up our membership prices.

 

[UcantCme]

the issue is broader than Nicks

the club promises an elite program but we have the worst assistant coaches in the comp

is a deadset fraud, our defence was poo last couple of years and now he has taken our forwards from ranked first to last over one pre-season

then their is VB, he was vanilla as a player and our midfield is vanilla as an entire unit

let’s not forget we couldn’t even bring in a top line assistant last year because we didn’t want to pay someone more than Burns who is a total fraud

If there really is some sort of out clause in this contract, let's ******* see it.

 

[Geoffa32]

Extending Nicks so early in this season will go down as one of this club's worst decisions.

Anyone want to make a gif of Nicks with his head in his hands. The jungle drums are growing

You seem like a nice bloke. Can you stop trying to find upsides with Nicks now?

Idiots.

 

[Crow till I die]

If he had the club's best interest at heart he would resign tonight and say he can't take the team any further

 

[BunjiMac]

The system is completely broken.

 

[FantasticShirt]

How does the board justify this?

 

[BunjiMac]

Nick's has lost the locker room

 

[adelaidecrows]

He has always put blame on the players.

The players are not playing for him. There is no coming back from this. The team is not going to magically just turn this around. He staked this list on finals and has failed miserably. So he can't all of a sudden start debuting guys. He is and always has been not the right coach to move us beyond the rebuild years. Some of us recognised it by 2021. Yet the ****ed up happy clappers got this fraud a new contract because they have no idea bout football. What a ******* basket case this club is.

You forgot the 2018/2019 drafts. That’s what has down the most damage.

 

[Jarman3]

Is there a cooling off period on coach contracts?

 

[Burtonsgottago]

I could coach this forward line better than Burns

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

How does the board justify this?

If we have a miserable season, there should be a mass clean out of the board.

 

[Brett Cummings]

Silvers should be sacked along with nicks. He has his head so far up his own ass.

 

[Sleight of Hand]

An overwhelming endorsement of the coaches contract extension by the players....not

 

[Shuestar13]

What can I say. I thought he had made some progress (along with the team last year)… but this is an (obviously) major step back. The lack of confidence that is evident is alarming, whatever he has done over preseason has been a complete failure.
