The worst bit to me imo was how they thought if they drip fed us the news over the course of the last 5 or so weeks everyone would come around to it. You knew it was a shit decision in the member's eyes from the get go, if everyone is so sure about co captains being the best thing for the club right now (it might be i have no idea) Then why not announce it with confidence a month ago? The whole "we respect and know what PAFC is about and our members our important to us" line they've been pushing the past month is what's been pissing me off the most, you don't care what the members think, just come out with your decision with pride when you made your mind up a month ago.

Co-Captains; An in depth discussion
Cons:
We've got a rich tradition of singular captians
To change this flies in the face of the general consensus
No real historical evidence to correlate co-captains will lead to success
With larger leadership groups, a singular role can still have a strong support team
Who will wear number 1?
We really want one player to grab hold and lead this group

Pros:
Sidney does it? And they won it once I remember



All in all, the sky's not going to fall in and this is just lukewarm vomit blerrgh

I expect in 202x we'll have a number 1 solitary captain under a new regime and this situation will be looked back at in the same way we acknowledge Planet Teal, Tarps and Skype coach whatshisname
superb

Pretty much completely because (almost) everyone else on here hates it.
Makes you a bit of a campaigner then really.

You want something pretty shit to happen to the club because it will annoy people who love the club.

Not because it improves it.

But the thing is, that when things are tough and you feel at your lowest and you feel you ARE being torn apart, it is the exact time you SHOULD be singing NTUA ( in my opinion)
You lost my respect when you liked the post ‘I want it because it pisses people off on the thread’.

Twat move.

To think after 2013 and 2014 and a return to our roots this is what it ends in. Those ******* frauds. Those absolute charlatans. **** the lot of them.

Jonas and Wines have their ******* work cut out for them. They've got an insane amount of proving to do. The club is setting them up, this is such a dumb move.

Aren't GWS , Sydney ,Gold Coast and the Crows all going with co captains this year?

So with us it will be near a third of the league?

Not an argument for but also hardly following the Crows
Read that list out loud.
Then wonder what they all have in common.

Yeah it’s been a shambles. Everyone is apparently not fussed either way yet adamant this is what’s best for the club but can’t explain why.

Well I know I’m convinced!

I'm actually not that fussed with the co captains.

It pisses me off that they have been so weak making the decision.

It pisses me off much more that they didn't see fit to tell the members at a so called insiders event but then they are fine with leaking it to the media.

Bear in mind also I think shit on field leadership cost us games last year


On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app
Having two players called "captain" rather than one called "captain" and the other "vice-captain" is going to make a huge difference to on-field leadership is it?

So all I’ve heard is most of the players etc wanted one captain. George F wanted one captain. Everyone associated, wanted one captain. How the **** have we come to this shit. Absolute ******* bullshit. I’m embarrassed.
Mark my words this is the football departments fault.
