Yeah no problem with that. Didn't think he was a good coach either. Its just having the golden boy on the couch bagging you weekly and then denying that he will coach to than say that he will coach. It hints at certain machinations that were working away in the background by the club while Knights was employed. For this golden boy to then be involved in all of this after that certainly does tie in with a club that at the least weren't run very well.
Again, its nothing old.
Grant Thomas did the same to get the Saints gig, Roos was hardly the good christian on the sidelines prior to being anointed at the Dees, Mick Malthouse for the Blues, Bomber in his switch to Essendon, and on and on and on.
Then you get to the dog stuff like what Ross Lyon did to get the Freo job, or how Sheeds basically hinted he would switch to RFC to get EFC to pony up more dough at every contract renewal (a strategy at cost us Northey because we kept believing it)
Even recently, apparently Hinkley was telling GC they should axe McKenna for Bomber Thompson
Most clubs show no loyalty to coaches (just look at Norm Smith at the Dees and Tommy Hafey at the Tigers), and not surprising most coaches show no loyalty to the clubs.
Only idiots who get all bent out of shape on this are us stupid fans
