neeld should stay, i am of the opinion that, if it aint broke, don't fix it.

seriously though, poor bloke, was doomed from the outset

 

[The Speaker]

Would not surprise me in the least if the ABC is wrong.

 

[TP86]

ABC and Tom Waterhouse went early and wrong on the Neeld sacking. Somewhere in the world Jonathan Holmes is banging his head against a desk.

 

[Bert Man]

I personally hope Neeld stays coach... He is gone though IMO.

 

[jerry springer]

once again we prove we have the most unprofessional media on the planet

 

[Major Colvin]

Allow him to finish what he started. Melbourne are screwed regardless.

How insightful. We're screwed regardless, so let him finish what he started...which was to finish us evidently.

HUN reporting that Mark Neeld will coach Melbourne on Queen's Birthday.

 

[The Speaker]

#sosickoftwitter

The ABC has fully embraced it.

Not a good idea, really. They are meant to be the standard-bearer of quality.

It's not freedom of the press, it's more freedom of guessing of the press.

 

[St 07]

Mark Neeld is reporting **** off

How insightful. We're screwed regardless, so let him finish what he started...which was to finish us evidently.

Thank you I put lots of effort in that post

To Members and Supporters,

In today’s Board meeting Peter Jackson presented his early recommendations for our Club following his first month in the role of CEO. Peter Jackson has been asked by the Board to examine every aspect of the Club and today he outlined a number of changes he believes are required to take our Club forward. In coming weeks and months we will seek to change the structure of the Football Department as well as a number of other aspects of our business.

Today, as with all Board Meetings, there was a presentation from the Football Department from Mark Neeld, Neil Craig, Todd Viney and Josh Mahoney. Our on-field performances have not met expectations this year and everyone in the Football Department continues to face ongoing assessment in their roles as do those employed in other areas of the Club. The Club will make no further comment at this time, in relation to the senior coach position.

We are extremely pleased to announce today that following the Board’s request to Peter Jackson to extend his tenure as CEO beyond the initial 6 month contract, he has agreed to stay in the role of CEO until at least the end of 2014.

I will continue to provide you with regular updates.

Brilliant, every flog in the footy media are salivating over Mark Neeld's assumed sacking. Instead Melbourne give them a press release announcing we've secured Peter Jackson for a following six months.

 

[SCHUMACHER]

Just in - Neelds contract extended for 5 years

 

[Major Colvin]

Any idea of whom might replace him as interim coach?

No idea. Doesnt matter though the rest of the season is a write-off (and would be with Neeld there too)

 

[mellowyellow]

I'll do it. I have a copy of Predator on VHS.

Dont get the lads to excited, as it is foreign territory for most of them

Finally! Some stability!

Twitter's great. We've just got the worst media out of the big countries.

 

[jerry springer]

good on Melbourne, didnt feed the media dogs

 

[Smoky]

Everyone's pretty much saying Neeld's sacked, and gunning it out of the car park supports that as well.

Did he get a speeding ticket? How fast is gunning it?

I went over the speed limit the other day... and then I got sacked. (True and true - It's a sign!)

 

[Jamurp]

Really poor form from the ABC for tweeted that Neeld had been sacked, it's been said before, but the state of media in this country is a joke.

 

[mellowyellow]

9 has just reported that he is safe for now

12 months

ABC is the last place anybody should go for breaking news. They are deadset flogs.
