Stepped in for Clarkson when he was ill this year.Is Bolton even an assistant coach.
Opinions are like ar$eholes. Everybody has one.congratulations you have an opinion

I'm not one to normally defend chapman, in fact I wanted him gone as much as I wanted trigg gone. But something he said resonated in his interview on AA. It's something I've posted before about being disappointed with Sando having the security of a 2 year extension but still selecting for the moment and the apparent singular goal of making the 8 this year. Regardless of how low and irrelevant in the 8 we'd finish.
Chapman said that they extended Sando's contract because they thought that the security it provided combined with removing external pressures provided him with the best chance of success. My view is that Sando then used this security and vote of confidence to leverage future success and development against a short term bottom end finals finish. I'd suggest that he was hell-bent on doing the exact same thing again next year.
Bolton just doesn't do it for me
Until we know his replacement, how can you say it;'s a positive.
Looking back, Sando was not a positive change from Craig. It was a change for change sake and we plateaued.
We need to appoint someone with a long term vision that can take use forward. Not aim for a short term fix.
congratulations you have an opinion
Far too Sando-like for mine, at least on the surface anyway.
And some stink more than others.but nobody wants to look at the other persons
Alarm bells at sando and his coaching styleTrying to understand the implication - alarm bells that the club had made the wrong decision or alarm bells regarding his capability? Former or latter?
Depends on if you believe that there was serious unrest in the playing group.Well done, go call it a positive all you like - but it's still not a positive until we know his replacement.
whether its a positive is subjective not an absolute.Well done, go call it a positive all you like - but it's still not a positive until we know his replacement.
"Bit rough to bag our new coach or be negative towards him before a ball is bounced."Please show me where I have been negative towards him?
I'm negative towards Chapman for being discrete again towards the fans.
Stepped in for Clarkson when he was ill this year.
There were plenty here that wanted him last time.
And they gave very valid reasons for that. 9 months is a long time in footy... and we've gone from someone we believed could do the job to someone who clearly can't. Best to call it now than prolong it like we did with Craig for example.He was the one who signed off on the contract.
Trigg would have made the proposal to extend the contract and Chapman and the board would have then said yes or no. Clearly they said yes.
Come on Alex, we plateaued, so we didn't go backwards and had a chance of going forwards. If you relate that to your view on selections, you are saying we should play the mediocre plodders because we know what we get and we don't risk the replacement being worse. Sando was a mediocre plodder, there's at least a dozen who will be no worse and amongst them a few who will be better. There's no risk at all in removing Sando.
So what does this say about Stephen Trigg's legacy and the great position he left us in?
Can we ban him from the AO negotiations? Oh and bring back Rendell.
Come back Matty all is forgiven. We're in a state having just got out of a toxic relationship, we see it now. We need you.
We've always needed you.
You're the one. We'll change
Apparently Hawthorn chose him to step in as he is supposedly just like Clarkson in style.
Agree.Well done, go call it a positive all you like - but it's still not a positive until we know his replacement.

Guess he was never really under pressure with five out of five, which may have unearthed some more Clarkson-like traits. All I could see in Bolton was a smiley gladhands salesman.
