Who are to blame for the chaos at Manly in recent times?
This is what I have gathered from news reports for the last 6 years.
Q1. The reason why this is even a discussion?
A1. Because Des & some staff are leaving.
Q2. Why is Des, some staff & possibly some players leaving?
A2. Because popular Zorba got pushed; because Des was annoyed so much he left for less money; and interference from other owners. Remember the re-signing of Monaghan a few years back despite the change in coaching direction?
Q3. Who pushed Zorba which angered players, staff and sponsors?
A3. Certainly NOT relative Penn?
Q4. Why did the two owners commenced disagreements back in 2008?
A4. Just to give you a hint - certain major sponsorship suddenly disappeared off the jersey after 2008. Somebody was told to give Manly money for sponsorship placement or make way for others.
Q5. Why is this still an issue?
A5. Certain owners could not fork out money. Certain board members doesn't get along with Penn, Zorba, Des, staff and players.
I think I will be voting in favour of players, staff and coach (new and old).
