Boo hooing DCE is not the way forward

No one booed Bozo in 1976 when it was an open secret where he was going at the end of the season.

Or Ron Gibbs in the middle of 1987 (only who ever brought the Give Back Randall's jumper sign).

In fairness, I wouldn't boo Gibbs from the safety of my lounge room 1000+ kms away. I'd be looking over my shoulder for months.
 
Are you being serious?

They have been in the role for a year and in that time we have seen Walsh, Large (smoking Joe is best placed to talk about it but there is a thread just for this Juniors Discussion Thread ). Also apart from the DCE thing we have been pretty much on the front foot with every other player - look here News

I am sorry if I am going to sound arrogant here but do you know how a CEO works? Mestrov would be responsible for overall health and performance of the club but wouldl not be overly involved in the football side of things. He would set a budget (which is the cap) that his people would work with
I am serious . I always wear my heart on my sleeve , Just like you do .
Until we see Walsh and Large transpire into Koula and Haumole at NRL level than we can give credit .Until then it is wait and see . You obviously heard the Term wait until your eggs are hatched
Meaning ...dont assume something will happen or be successful until it actually does

I dont think your views are arrogant , I think you are like every one else on here who posts their honest views which are from a different perspective

My view after Mestrovs Amateurish and most embarrassing and desperate last minute NRL Knee jerk reaction contract offer live on NRL Gossip TV confirms what a Mediocre CEO he is
Only CEO Fools would do that and add fuel to the Media fire .
And Another thing . Competent CEOs have a knack of Diplomatic skill
The Manly CEO fronted the Media to talk about DCEs Departure without the club Captain.
Mestrov by name and Mediocre by Nature
He is another budget buy from Penn and you get what you Pay for

We will agree to disagree feathered friend
Have a Manly Winning day 🙂

@BOZO do you know that it is Peter Gentle who is the head of recruitment not Mestrov? Or even Troy Weeden? And I know CEO and all that but maybe if you are really going to blame the club perhaps it is the head of recruitment
Surely a decision like this though (whether to retain a long-serving player at 36yo) would be elevated above the head of recruitment @lsz

I dunno, maybe it does fall completely on Gentle’s shoulders, but I would have thought that even the press associated with losing your long-standing captain (and arguably the face of your organisation) would qualify the situation for elevation to the CEO and, likely, owner…
 
I’ll be down there on Sunday cheering for me TEAM - OUR TEAM. I won’t be cheering for any one player. Although when the team is individually announced/introduced before the game, I won’t be clapping for DCE. I won’t boo either. I’ll cheer loudest for the players I feel personify the Manly spirit and team.
 
And if he has one of his headless chook style shockers and we lose?? Are we entitled to Boo him then?
If our players play like headless chooks it will be because of the divisional impact that our Management has created breaking Club spirit and not only dividing us fans on this forum but also our players .
Good negotiators do not escalate things. They keep things transparent and harmonious and most of all in House and not turn it into a Gossip tv circus
Just because deals cannot be reached they dont have to be turned into late night tv Drama
But this takes form from people that are capable of being great diplomatic negotiators
Our Godfather was never like this when he was CEO. He always had negotiations under control and this is why he was the best
 
So easy to blame the club always.

DCE was the idiot who went on TV and played this out in the media.

Do you see many other superstars of the game doing that?
The cub is accountable for player contract Negotiations
Just like Arko was
We never had seen this Mediocracy on display from Arko
Because Arko was not a Mediocre Man like these blokes we have running our club

Regardless, DCE has been prone to having headless chook games and he is inviting boos from the crowd on Sunday if he produces another one. The management aren’t out there on the field. it’s the players. Having said that, I actually have faith that the team can pull together and that this is a much bigger deal in the media than it is in the dressing room. We shall see. A good performance on Sunday will go along way to shutting the media up.

Honestly I would not think so. You either have a head of recruitment / "list" or you do not

I would think that would be a crazy approach by the recruitment team (not to at least inform upper management) but maybe that is why Mestrov and Penn were scrambling on Monday…

Guess we will know if Peter Gentle is quietly moved on shortly…

Leaving or not, he loves Manly, I think he'll do his best to win another flag for us before he go. It'll be all forgotten and stamp himself as one of Manly legends. He wasn't offer anything, and thought that he's getting old and didn't want to take $$dollars away from Manly to sign players and future youngsters. So instead he'll go get big $$cash somewhere else and look after his 4 girls future. We haven't won **** it's not all his fault, takes the whole team to win a premiership. We've some shocking team over the years and injuries didn't help but he was the only one that played the most game then anyone else.

My blood is Maroon and loved all the players. DCE is not even my favorite player I'm just sticking up for one of us. Wish him well go make millions, lose games play **** for them against us retired rich$$.

JUST WISH THINGS WAS DONE DIFFERENTLY.

Okay fess up. Did Mestrov dump your sister?

I think Bozo is actually a roosters fan sent here to troll us on behalf of the other 3 roosters fans.

Hear (read ) me out.

He loves Bozo fulton - who went to play for the - roosters
Every time we talk about cap and the sombrero, - bozo relentlessly says rules are made to be broken and the roosters are doing the best job at 'cap management'
Bozo says it's all Manly's fault that dce will probably sign for the - roosters.

Coincidence?????
