Yep, someone starts a thread talking about getting a new coach.....
I’m the prophet of doom. When do you think it’s time to panic- 2 years into Kens next 4 year contract?
Things have been pretty great the last four years. Everyone else seems to be positive about the future too?
Robert Shaw?
Off all the current members of our coaching panel, Monty is the clear standout. He has a good football brain & is an excellent communicator. If we are fortunate enough to need a caretaker coach in the near future (one can only hope), he’d be my first choice.
You do realise Schofield is with us too right?
Yeah that's not going to happen.

Said this in another thread without realising this one existed.
But I'm keen for Francou. What he and dew have done at the suns so far this year with the spud of a list they have is impressive. Obviously have to wait and see how the rest of the year goes for them, if they go the rest of the year without a win, thoughts will be changed.
Plus his long period at Sydney and refusing to be apart of a rabble of a coaching staff at adelaide has made me a fan.

Does that mean ken is in it for the MONEY???
Or is he making the club pay for being such a mob of clueless bogans???
Given Hinkley didn't want to coach out the last year of his contract without the security of an extension because of the pressure that would create, it's no wonder our players crumble under the weight of expectation. If the wins don't come, he won't last.

Yes, maybe not the dark, dark days at aami but I reckon we will hit mid 20k a few times this year.
Although he really seems to hate any kind of pressure and it's only going to get worse.

I do not think so.
Our support base doesnt have heaps of dollars to splash around.
They have paid up this year and they will come.
Next year is the worry.
But its pretty early to be predicting anything.
Should be easy to get him to quit then if the board had any balls.

If Hinkley goes with 5-6 games before the end of 2019 or 2020, Voss and not Schofield will get the caretaker's job.
The admin/board loves Voss as much as Hinkley. Would those in charge be able to turn down a 3 time premiership captain to be the new coach? Could they handle the media fall out?
Would the assembled coach selection panel be independent enough and tough enough, to make a decision which is so crystal clear cut that Voss isn't the man, that the admin/board has no choice but go for their preferred candidate?

Here's a novel idea: sack the admin/board along with Hinkley and Voss.
That way, we can get a board that actually invests in the China Strategy and get a new coaching group (headed by Schofield and with Good Bloke Luke Hodge as senior assistant) at the same time.
Voss is senior assistant and currently out ranks Schofield so yes you’d expect him to got the caretaker role - that does not mean he’ll get the Senior gig in a new season.

Didn't say he would, but a selection panel will make the decision and it will depend who is on the selection panel as to how much Voss is favoured, and if reports I have heard over the years are correct, Chris Scott was the preferred candidate of the selection panel to replace Choco, but the board went with Primus - as they couldn't handle the fall out of basically sacking the son of the patriarch, plus a club great in his own right - and then reject a very popular ex club captain.
