From article in "The Advertiser" today, Chapman announces his (eventual) retirement.
Good news: He's going! Oh Happy Day!
Bad News (and a lot of it):
--- he'll stick around long enough to make sure that 2020 is another dud, if not worse, year.
--- he thinks Roo would make a wonderful Chairman (!!)
--- he thinks that Brett Burton is a wonderful Head of Football and will be remembered as an"elite" Head of Football, when he's finished (if only that was asap).
--- he states unequivocally that Pyke has the full support of the Club and the Board, which has been many a Coach's kiss-of-death.
Ugly:
--- knowing the above, the players must know now that the failures of 2019 lie entirely with them, because everybody else has been wonderful.
Mods: if this is covered elsewhere, please merge.
