What a great debate!
In answer to some of what has been said.
Stiffy, I was unaware of what Wallace had said on 5AA, but even with that said, I am not convinced that he is capable of coaching a team to a premiership. Further, our team is a hell of a long way from a premiership. Would he be prepared for that long haul?Personally, I believe we are better off trying a young untried coach. As with players, we may unearth an undiscovered gem.
macca23, whilst I acknowledge that things were tough at the dogs, at the very least, Wallace could have waited out the season (one whole week) and then told them of his decision to moveon. As for his pay "disputes" well they are as much speculation to us as the supposed deal he had with Sydney. I stand by the fact I would expect our coach to bleed for the club, Wallace left the Dogs when the chips were really down. Can't agree with those saying Ayres is somehow different however. I was not happy with that either at the time. Fact is, I will support whoever is chosen to be our coach.
Whilst on the topic, I think Ayres is getting a raw deal at the moment. I'm ready for a change and never really believed he could deliver us what we want, but don't think our current situation comes solely down to him.
