Sando sacked - confirmed **** crows only ****

[WAG]

How does Bickley get a guernsey? Bejeesers.

 

[GROTTO]

But you're forgetting everybody is on holidays. Sloaneys phone was probably ringing on a surf beach somewhere in south east asia for ages before he answered.

I would presume that they have sms groups to send messages? Because you are right if they are on holidays the time difference etc

 

[Big Gazoongas]

This decision must have been made at least 3-4 days ago if not a week ago.

Even then should have informed everyone in the morning in time for a press conference at 2pm.

The wheels would have been in motion longer than 3-4 days ago. What we shouldn't be critical of, which we don't know, is who had or hadn't been communicated.
Whether the supporters knew at 2.00pm today or 8.00pm tonight does it really matter in the whole scheme of things?

The most important thing here is that the club makes the correct choice on the next coach to lead our club.

 

[GROTTO]

I like the look of this "Other".

Other - by all reports is good at what he does.

 

[Dogga79]

He's big with the blue rinse crowd.

 

[Johnny Rutten]

How does Bickley get a guernsey? Bejeesers.

Yeah, and he has the percentage of the beast. All the more reason to stay away.

 

[Vooligan]

So much for "accepting mediocrity"

We finish mid-table and everyone loses their heads. New CEO, new head coach, new list manager, new senior assistant.

We wished for a clean out, and that's what we got.

 

[ruscy002]

You know those times when some of us have questioned the decisions made by Sando only to be told we don't work at the club and are ill informed, well it seems some at the club agreed with us.

I don't know. I sit back sometimes and think that my instincts were spot on, but then, not many clubs are achieving true success. Was I right, or is picking the eyes out of an unsuccessful club a deceptively soft target?

 

[hippyhippy]

Its a shame really, Sando never had his best players all fit and on the park ever in the last two years.

thats because he always played them injured ...

 

[robboaustralia]

No Goody unless he's assistant!!

Maybe we could go with (as an example) a Blight/Goodwin or Blight/Bassett combo? Blight 2 years with handover to Goodwin or Bassett? A bit like the Sheedy thing at GWS? Not saying it would be Blight but maybe Matthews or Bomber. I don't think Fages would allow a rookie assistant to become head coach straight away. He says he wants elite.

or jokingly how about Sir Alex Ferguson? We have our rugby CEO now a soccer manager as coach?

 

[ruscy002]

I like the look of this "Other".

Rhymes with smother > defender > BASSETT!!!

 

[spenze]

Wasn't his wife part of the group responsible for the knifing of Rudd/Gillard?

Yep, this is different though, he loves the footy club, that is why he is so upset

 

[Skippos]

Think there's a very good chance McKenna will be sacked tomorrow. And if he does, nobody's going to complain because Gold Coast have managed the situation perfectly. People are aware a meeting is happening tomorrow, they're aware there's a review taking place and they're aware that decisions may be made. Because people aren't in the dark and see the process unfolding, they're going to be inclined to assume the decision was well thought out.

Half leaking a decision to Bone and Rowe then turning off your phones and half announcing it after the media have already done it for you is nothing like that. It indicates a rash decision making process with no real accountability or structure or authority. Even if the decision was correct, the process of it actually happening and being communicated to those outside the inner sanctum has been botched so incredibly badly and is indicative of just how incompetent the administration of our club is. It's argument enough as to why the board need to go.

 

[xchadders]

Are those that read the advertiser on crack? they have bomber thompson leading to be the next coach.

you can't have more votes and less % than someone with less votes.

 

[GROTTO]

No, I'm not interested," said Thompson when asked about the job that had opened up at the Crows. "I wouldn't go there - especially now." Sanderson worked alongside "Bomber" at Geelong, where the pair forged a close relationship. Thompson had been in contact with Sanderson on Wednesday night, when the news of his sacking filtered through.

While Sando had his issues as coach, it feels like he never really got a fair go due to problems not of his making like the Tippett contract debacle and the loss of draft picks. If Fagan had a hand in this, he is certainly living up to his reputation.

This.

Right decision for me, but clearly poorly orchestrated.

But that 13% is probably all the Port supporters in Adelaide.

i was pointing out you can't have more votes and a less %....

Re the bolded bit. Seriously can we stop this utter rubbish!!

How on earth would you know, how the hell could you make this claim???

 

[screech]

Terry Wallace?

 

[Wright Away]

Next target acquired.

probably the idiot rounded it up.

 

[Cap]

Anyone else feeling a bit of egg on their face?

I ripped into the club, yet in the space of a week they have made two huge and ballsy moves .

*puts tinfoil hat on*

*takes tinfoil hat off*
but I like your idea better.
