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).
I am serious . I always wear my heart on my sleeve , Just like you do .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
Surely a decision like this though (whether to retain a long-serving player at 36yo) would be elevated above the head of recruitment @lsz@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
He done that to quite a few mate...I think opposition players often took early showers to avoid the Crazy Gibbs when in the mood...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.
And if he has one of his headless chook style shockers and we lose?? Are we entitled to Boo him then?If DCE has another Blinder
The Manly Crowd will be booing the blokes in the Manly Corporate box
Manly People only Boo Losers
What are some of the others that cost the club ?
We must've been booing the team a lot over the last decade then.Manly People only Boo Losers
So easy to blame the club always.Manly Management !
Manly Management for Managing to turn this Contract into a Chaos Frenzy in the media in our divided Manly family and God knows how all this chaos has affected the playing group .
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 .And if he has one of his headless chook style shockers and we lose?? Are we entitled to Boo him then?
The cub is accountable for player contract NegotiationsSo 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?
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.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
Honestly I would not think so. You either have a head of recruitment / "list" or you do notSurely 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…
Okay fess up. Did Mestrov dump your sister?I am confident that DCE will Put 100% on the field
and that is So Much More Effort than Mestrov could not put in his contract Negotiations
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…Honestly I would not think so. You either have a head of recruitment / "list" or you do not
Maybe Mestrov ran over his dog hahaOkay fess up. Did Mestrov dump your sister?
