Mega Thread The Next AFC Coach?

[NikkiNoo]

HA! if you look up "contrary to Rucci's view" in the dictionary you'll find the definition is "reality"

 

[Bay62]

hold up a minute...are you suggesting rucci could be wrong?!?!?!

I'm not sure "could be" is quite the right expression here...

 

[intheknowcrow]

On to actual new. Rowe now saying:
"All along he was led to believe Bolton had the job" - he has changed his tune on this.
"Bolton interviewed Tuesday, all quiet"

He's now asking if Bolton interviewed badly.

Re Bassett - have heard from source, via Norwood, that he is very keen on the job. Reckons he is a great coach, but not loved by all (but respected). From someone's that has worked with him his biggest negative is he's basically a control freak. (Also suggests if Bomber stays at Essendon he will be leaving regardless as the two butt heads)

I can confirm Bomber & Fred don't get along.....

[Tex Support]

So it was always meant to be Bolton, and we nearly actually appointed him, and it never was Clarko at all, and now there's a longer delay for an unknown reason.............

 

[Kenneth Tron]

Or maybe it's the bloke from Melbourne on RSVP with the same username and a pic with a crows scarf around his neck....

Anyway, I'm new here, have been lurking for over 12 months, so decided to make an account.

100% on the Bass bandwagon. Missus is a huge Legs fan, along the with Crows, and she thinks he'd be great. Never bought into the Clarko rumours myself.

Does your missus know you've been extensively scouting RSVP ?

 

[Bay62]

Increasingly frickin doubtful!!??

 

[pjcrows]

Sounds like it

If so it's contrary to Rucci's view that we haven't been interviewing because Noble's been in Melbourne

Rucci is the absolute last person who finds out anything.

I think he has backed out and maybe considering other jobs.

 

[Niximus]

Yep.

I don't get how we can ALL know how full of shit they are (Rowe, McDermott, Rucci, Wilson, Jarman, etc), and yet people STILL get all worked up over their rumours.

That's not too bad. Doesn't matter if players and coach don't love each other as long as there's a level of mutual respect there. You lose that and that's when the trouble starts.

So are we getting Clarkson or not?

 

[JP Sauce]

So are we getting Clarkson or not?

Yes.

Bookmark it.

 

[pjcrows]

Yeh it's Clarko.

 

[Tex Support]

So are we getting Clarkson or not?

I think Croweater78 might know.

He/she was "hanging around" afterwards to field questions I think...

 

[dogs105]

Woohoo!!!

 

[OnThePyne]

Does your missus know you've been extensively scouting RSVP ?

She does now lol

As for Rowie, I take what he says with a grain of salt. He's basically the PR man for AFC and says whatever they want him to say.

 

[Jello_B]

Sorry to intrude, can anyone advise where and to what extent the rumours re Clarkson coming to Crows was initiated.
Has anyone outside of 5AA or crows supporters discussed this as a serious opportunity?
Would be a great get, but living in WA I don't get much SA news.

Jars dropped the bombshell last week on MMM and then sort of recanted his statement, went quiet.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

I thought Rowie said a week or two back that supporters would be pleased, wtf pleased with Bolton is he on drugs.... Neither Rowie or Bone have a true connection with our supporter base

WTF is this not loved but respected, its not a popularity contest, love has **** all to do with the selection criteria

finally maybe time for all to smash Roo and Fagan with 19th Man wants Bass tweets and if Bolton gets the job then we protest like Syd did against Wallace

nah, it was bouncing around in here well before that

 

[absolutezero]

Time for some co-ordination. Retweets if you're in favour.

 

[betterthanu]

Jarman ruined our shot at Clarko. Our new coach is Scott Pendlebury. Danger was the sole member of the new coaching sub committee

 

[OnThePyne]

nah, it was bouncing around in here well before that

But more of a 2+2=5 scenario. People wanted him, comments by the Chappy/Fagan indicated we want the best/premiership coach and the ball got rolling, fueled by 'inside' information and the useless footy media in Adelaide.
