Great new article on Fox about how Dessie has made the players all go out and purchase an iPad for $1200. He then makes them go home and watch what they did right/wrong, and knows if the haven’t by the time they arrive at training the next day...So, that indicates the purse strings are certainly still not opened anywhere near to the level of the bigger clubs. The players appear to be buying right into Dessie’s methods though... they all did as they were instructed to, and are loving how thorough the man is... history shows that great coach’s will do that, (demand more of the players) and the team love them for it... Anyways, they would have more than likely spent more on the piss, while on the punt with Baz’s expert team of gurus last year, and probably see it as an ongoing savings.The big problem has been solved .....
For at least 6 years the club has been progressively under resourced and for at least the past 4 years has been run on a "shoe-string" ...we were the poor under-priveldged of the comp .... and that attitude went right through the club .... we may differ on what the catalyst for change was ... but one thing for certain is the purse strings have been opened .... and the winner is Manly ....
We now have a coaching and fitness staff the envy of the league ..... Dessie is just the cherry on top ..... attitude and enthusiasm has returned .... and not just the players, I;m talking the office staff, sales, marketing etc .... everybody at the club ...
This has not just been a change of coach ..... it has been a monumental shift in who is running the club .....
Top 8 ... all day ... every day ....
PSS ... and they better taste success sooner rather than later, because the bloke paying the bills will be counting the cost and will only remain silent and in the back seat for so long ... ....
