Private financial arrangements between club and coach and President are just that - private. Or so I read soemwhere. Hypocrite.

So which coach is next? Sheeds?
If the pres has been involved in the decision and indeed may have been the instigator of the change, then he needs to answer the questions. If it is his decision, then it requires his answers. I wouldnt say this for any other position for anyhting other than his own role and the coach.

Wow, had no idea there was this well thought out and obviously set-in-stone process that needs, nay, MUST be adhered to by all clubs when sacking the coach!
Give me a break

From the mouth of McGuire to the Mouth off Pratt, life just keeps getting better.
Actually a good CEO runs a business, but then again thats what happens when momey bank roles in, Gutnick all over again.

No...the press conference is all about giving the men and women of the press the information that they will then base their newspaper reports on. It is simply about the message carlton want to get out into the ether.
And.....they did a good job!
The deal would have been done this morning, as follows:.
"Denis - you are finished".
"OK , what's the deal?"
"Denis, you get XXX dollars, this nice written reference, and we promise to make the right noises" (shows Denis list of right noises)
"OK" says Denis, "that looks pretty ship-shape to me. What do you want me to do?"
"Attend the 2pm meeting with Swanny, wear the Club jacket, and say all the right things to the inevitable (dead easy to predict) questions" (gives Denis list of appropriate responses).
"Ok by me - when does the XXX dollars hit the bank?"
"Five minutes after the press conference goes to script"
"Okey-dokey" says Denis "lets go!" " Oh, one more thing......can I keep the jacket!!!"

Odd stuff. I wonder when they made this decision, on the plane going home last night?
No board meeting, nothing, just a quick ring around.

Only if its your opinion that the situation should be handled in the inflexible, mapped-out fashion you describe above.
I mean come on, it sounds like a cake recipe or something!
The CEO is qualified to answer those questions. I can understand why some would want Pratt out there - Collingwood would certainly have McGuire out there - but thats a matter for the club to choose how they break the news. I cant see what the big deal is.

This is a major as a club gets in announcements, the CEo and President should be there. Its just the way its done.
maybe Pratt is away on business or something.

I think Carlton should have sacked the players and kept the coach.
Quicker turn around.

Pagan is not the reason Carlton isn't performing, it is mostly the CEO's fault. Before Pagan arrived the club had ****ed up the sallary cap and lost a few years worth of draft picks, if they had those draft pics they would be a main bulk of the core group of players at carlton now. The CEO should be sacked unless i am mistaked an he is not the same as when the sallary cap incident took place.

They did that already, this guy is brand new.
My bad but it is hardly Pagans fault that the team are performing so poorly.
