I think the other thing that showed his lack of character and class was coming out recently when Manly were looking good and basically telling everyone that Toovey had done well cos he hadnt changed the coaching 'structures' that he'd laid down. The guy has been comprehensively exposed as an arsehole and I wish him all the worst on sunday.
You have a link for that? Or have you just 'paraphrased' something quite different in order to put an anti-Hasler spin on it?
This club, and specifically its fan base, will never move forward while consumed with an irrational anger and rage. Especially one directed at a person who spent most of his working life tirelessly helping our club continue its great record of success. For decades he was as Manly as anyone - we may as well be hating ourselves.
He left. Just get over it. We don't need him now. We don't need to pretend he is the devil incarnate. We don't need to invent dastardly deeds supposedly perpetrated by our erstwhile golden boy.
He was never the saint, but never claimed to be. He has far more good qualities than bad. But he's against us now, so we'll revel in the challenge, but seriously folks, there is nothing to fear here. And therefore, nothing to hate.
The fear was Manly might wilt and wither, but that isn't going to happen. On the contrary, the club is on an even keel and the future looks bright. I'll boo Des as loudly as the next person, but I can't find any hatred for him, despite reading all the rumours here - again, and again, and again. He's merely a footy coach. True, he's no longer the golden-haired boy. But that's his loss, as much as ours.
