We told them the coaching structure would change, so be aware that they might be out of a job, which is a courtesy.
Looks like a decision hasn't been made yet, which is fair enough, seeing as our coach was appointed a massive 3 days ago.
If they've got contracts (which I'm sure they do) they'll be paid out if we sack them. I reckon it's a bit early to bring in the lawyers.

Bringing in the lawyers prematurely is not going to help their chances getting another gig. If they backed their own ability they would be confident of getting a job somewhere else and not too concerned about whatever was to happen. All this makes the decision to move them on easier.

We are keeping Riley but not as midfield - sounds to me like we are hoping this encourages him to move on as he is on too much coin to pay out?

Absolutely IMO

Dont have to pay him out if he breaks the contract himself. Apparently not happy with the demotion and some interest from the Gold Coast. From a business perspective its a shrewd move. Carlton can effectively say we still wanted him but he left anyway.
 
Apparently, there is a clause in their contracts that say if there is a change of coach, then they get paid out for three months if the club terminates their services. Also seems that we will retaining Riley and definitely are getting rid of Williams.

No news on Barker?
 
Obviously McKay rates Barker as he must be the one doing the chopping. As Stamos said how would we mere mortals know what goes on inside the club. It could be that Barker has lots of good ideas but got overruled by Richardson or Ratten. The other possibility is that he has got a very good contract that is very expensive to pay out.

Given that Ratts got the sack, I am not sure why any of the assistant coaches would think they should be Coaching at Princes Park next year. Surely they should take some responsibility for the failure of this season.

Because they have contracts that say they should?

It's tawdry to try to screw assistants with valid contracts. The club's just paid out big bucks for Ratten and Malthouse. The assistants would be on peanuts by comparison. Pay them their entitlements, stay on good terms and be done with it.

For all we know Ling, Jakovich, etc. have taken a dim view of this aspect of the coaching change and made their decisions accordingly. Hopefully this stuff doesn't put off any other prospects - players as well as coaches.

I am not saying they should not get whatever their contracts entitled them to, but if it says you only get paid 3 months if there is a change of coach, then that is all you are entitled to. My comment was more around the fact that they should not have been suprised they would not be required next season.

I understand that there's still some posturing going down in respect to our assistants.

May need to clear the air there first before any further announcements.

Definitely. This has been a messy busines from start to finish and there seems no need to draw it out further. Either they are in or they are out. Put the poor buggers out of their misery FFS.

Club needs to tell them ASAP though, so they can then look for other work. ..
 
now that Luke Power has retired, i think we should try to get him on as a midfield coach. Ive always been a huge fan and think power will make a fantastiic coach. He seems like he is very knowledgable, team orientated, and selfless. also he was part of potentially and in my opinion the best ever midfield with the brisbane lions, he also learnt from leigh matthews.
