Bluemour Melting Pot XXIX

[The Old Dark Navy's]

3 candidates have voluntarily pulled out.

They are now interviewing 4th and 5th rung candidates. Graham now the front runner.

One of the candidates will sign at Carlton as an assistant to Ross Lyon and reportedly told his manager never to communicate with Collingwood again, the interview went that bad.

Its a circus with their current board and no recruiting manager.

Hmm, I like the idea of a senior coaching candidate coming to us as an assistant.

 

[SammaGilberto]

If we choose Ross, can we bring back the trend of coaches in playing jumpers for team photo day?

Can you please make better sense of this? Who is he referring to?

 

[mickelboy182]

smoke screen. He looked content and with one foot in the door. should have been in politics.

Could certainly be that way too. I'd say his demeanour was optimistic but I still think he genuinely thinks Clarko is 1st preference.

 

[Arr0w]

What on earth are you on about?

My contention is that the current board needs to be held accountable.

Is Sayers a better choice than MLG? Yes. Are there question marks about his culpability as a long term member of this board? Also yes.

What's your problem mate? Take a deep breath and relax

And now the deflections

You just keep changing feet

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Can you please make better sense of this? Who is he referring to?

He didn't say. Could be Voss since his interview with Collingwood didn't go well.

 

[Jeremias]

Hmm, I like the idea of a senior coaching candidate coming to us as an assistant.

Think there was a suggestion that Voss had pulled out of the race for the Pies job?

My guess is it would be him.

 

[Revenant1995]

Hmm, I like the idea of a senior coaching candidate coming to us as an assistant.

And I am wondering at the possibility of who this may be....

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

And I am wondering at the possibility of who this may be....

Also mentioned that Pyke wasn't interested so could be him too.

 

[bigblueboy]

Clarkson went on 360 tonight on the proviso he wouldn’t be asked about what he is doing next.

Leads me to think he didn’t want to be cornered in the last few days of the season.

Whateley convinced he’ll coach next year.

 

[reubsblues]

So the ross/voss rumour is most likely true
As much as i want Clarkson i can live with this

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Don Pyke isn't keen on going through Collingwood's formal processes to be appointed as head coach - (SEN BREAKFAST)

Would you prefer they sat on their collective hands until the season is over?

What happens if the best candidates are no longer available?

It's tricky situation.

One one hand they could be accused of being derelict in their duty if they don't do due diligence. On the other hand they can be seen as being disrespectful to Teague.

And when Collingwood are hunting for the same, the race is on to fill with the best candidates.

Tricky situation indeed but we’re going to need to bolster with coaching & ops staff to improve our lot.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

No, its on the money.

Worst thing that could have happened to them now is Carlton having a vacancy. New, extremely well connected president on board at IKON park too.

Pies way behind other clubs now off field, and its really hurting them.

 

[Hands On]

Could certainly be that way too. I'd say his demeanour was optimistic but I still think he genuinely thinks Clarko is 1st preference.

I think he thinks that as well. It could be one of 2 things,

Clarko has refused and with the board stead fast on sticking to their guns and not letting anything leak anymore. He knows he has he position and playing the card he is so he wont compromise his role on Footy classified.

Or the club has genuinely not had in depth discussions with Clarkson and advised Ross that the position is his of Clarkson declines. Hence his comments to night. Lucky Mathews convinced him.

That was my view as well

[Juddrockz]

He’s really lobbying for it though, openly says he declined to speak to Collingwood

Ross is clearly selling himself but he, as we all know Clarko is the best in the business and if Clarko is wanting the job he would get it.
"There's no second prize".

Hearing Pyke to Collingwood as good as done...

Not according to SEN

 

[The Bighouse]

Clarko throwing out the kudos to Dunstall for sticking with him after a bad 2nd year. Feeling for Teaguey and his situation.

Interesting how this all plays out with the ducks & drakes.

Here you go

 

[BigFrizz36]

Yep pretty much of the impression that Ross is obviously keen. Either the club is awaiting a decision from Clarko or he has told them that out of deference to Teague he will not discuss anything till after the season.

I think that the club has told Ross that he is likely but that they have to await a decision from Clarko. Ross sounds like he is fine with that

 

[Just Kreuzing]

So we are getting.....
Ross Lyon- HC
(providing Clarko declines)
Michael Voss- AC
