As a payed with his standing in the game...to him.
If I were a player with his CV...finishing my career for 12 months elsewhere would look back on it with regret.
He won’t have shortage of offers for coaching gigs post retirement

I suspect he's been given a contract offer from us that he is pissed off with.

It won’t happen (Pendles leaving). But imagine the embarrassment our President, Coach and Captain all in one year.
And no, no one can unequivocally say he’s not leaving until the contract is signed. But even Pendles says contracts aren’t worth the paper they’re written on.

If they had their time again....yes they wouldn’t do it.
I think it also damaged the culture at hawthorn. it serves no purpose.
Jordan Lewis definitely agrees with this too.

"Pendlebury confirmed that a one-year offer has been tabled by Collingwood, but he'd look at rival offers if they included a coaching component."
If this is truem then I would do to Pendles what Leigh Matthews did to Mark Williams who was captain at the end of 1986 and was talking to other clubs to try to bump up his price with Collingwood.
Lethal told him if you as captain are touting offers from other clubs for whatever reason, then see you later.
Bye Pendles - enjoy the Gold Coast.

The difference with the Hawthorn guys is they were pushed out when they had a year left in them.
Pendles isn’t being pushed out, the way he played this year he’s probably got 2yrs left in him. But at his age a 1yr deal is pretty standard across the comp.
As for getting a longer term deal that includes an assistant coaching role I don’t really see why he needs to do that this year. Whenever he finishes he’s not going to struggle to find a coaching/development role at another club.

It all started from a journo thought bubble on a quiet day trying to drum up some Collingwood click bait. Then somehow became fact

I think being a Premiership winning assistant coach is pretty significant on his resume. Particularly as he got a fair bit of credit for their midfield set up. It would have also changed the relationship with the coach and playing group to one where he was seen as a coach rather than a player. I think it matters.
I think It’s vastly overrated.
Playing days are different to post playing days.
If he wants to coach then retire.
As a player...to finish up elsewhere....when you’re also the games record holder and captain of the club...makes little sense

Thats the thing. In a normal happy working environment, you’re willing to stay on for less.
But when you’re dealing with turmoil and the village idiots are running the show, it takes a toll on you and can get to the stage where you contemplate leaving.
There’s plenty of supporters who have had enough of the club because of the whats happened with the muppets running the show, it will be no different to some of the players.
As someone already mentioned, no way would Pendles have even thought about a statement like this before. Obviously behind the scenes its getting to him.
It makes sense, another theory hypothetically speaking, several weeks ago a caller on SEN to have seen Clarko & Pendles having a coffee(believable??)
Could they unite at the Suns next year?
It’s the Pies next Succession plan!
Pendles plays two years under Clarko, retired, assistant coach at another club for 3 years, coaches a VFL side for 2 years, in the box with Clarko for 2 years. Collingwood premiership coach

I think from Scott Pendlebury's perspective - in terms of viewing himself as a potential career coach going forward - I think it makes a lot of sense. I saw him play his Ist game against Brisbane in 2006 at the MCG. If I recall accurately, he kicked a goal with his Ist kick in AFL football at the Richmond End after receiving a pass from Buckley. After 16 years & all of his achievements, he owes the club nothing at this point in his career. In terms of his own development, I think that experiencing a different culture & a totally different work environment can only enhance his development. Good luck to him. Goodnight & good luck.
Times have changed... it's a legit career move. The assistant coach world is fairly cutthroat... it's best to build up your resume while you've still got a couple years left in your legs. Being a legend gets your foot in the door, but guarantees very little. It's a professional move, and he is a professional guy. Leaving behind sentiment is part of that.
But it is understood that he can't do that at Collingwood.
