   Ding dong the Witches are dead! Stand by for some big announcements at Manly over coming wks & mths, with Penns & Cleary taking full control

Does this mean the end of Bozo and the Pie Man?

Hope so - but it is April 1 - though he doesn't strike me as the joking type.

 

[double hoops]

Very interesting.

 

[CBreeagles]

He could just be covering his own ass for saying for months now barret was a dead man walking and such.

 

[Blowfly]

Or could it just be that this bloke got it wrong about Barrett in the first place & is now trying to save face?

He had him as a "dead man walking" not so long ago.

There might be some element of truth but on the whole his agenda is as big as any other person in the game.

He's rarely got anything positive to say about Manly or anyone at the club so why should he change now?

He hates a man named Bozo but this guy is a bigger clown in my opinion.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Just covering his arse, he was all over Twenty a few weeks ago.

I follow him on Twitter and he's Brisbane based and a massive Donkeys lover!!

Who are the Penns getting control back from? They own it. They could do what they want with it from the moment they bought out Quantum.

I think people are using our win streak to post crap to cover their hides from when they were death riding us a month ago.

I don't want Bozo to go.......I'd like to roll the sausage down the hill at Brookie though!

Exactly!!

Bozo himself maybe not, but the rest of the family a definite yes!!

I'd line up for a sausage roll as well, perhaps we could sell tickets??

If you weren't such a keyboard warrior, I'd say you're irrelevant you sausage roll eater who has done nothing in life 😉

Good old Zorba, hey. BTW, that was a play on Zorba's words. You know I love you mate.

Well mate, we've both had personal experiences and seen the good and bad.

He's won his war, got rid of everyone he hated BUT the downside with all that is he's pissed off a LOT of fans / members.

TBH even though he's family I'm surprised the spend haven't reacted.

But I think this is all BS, he won't be going anywhere!!!!

Agree man. We have some outstanding fans (yes, who may have an opinion). But the way he thinks he is above them all somehow - disgusting.

I'm still FB buddies with many of the MWTS ( we had 2500 members when I was doing it) and it's amazing how many haven't renewed their memberships due to his antics.

They are of course still mad fans but have all contacted the Eagles to tell them why (to get the typical standard response from some 17 year old office chick), which of course only makes things worse.

One I know of had 4 Golden Wings memberships.

They would be crazy to get rid of Bozo while he's recruiting young talent like that tigers player for eg.
I have been a bit bewildered by some top squad sackings and recruitment but if he can get the young players then good.

 

[MadMarcus]

The meeting between Cleary and Bozo would seem to have been the catalyst for our monumental change of fortunes. I have been wondering if that meeting resulted in Barrett getting more control, so I would believe that maybe there is some truth in these posts.

This is what I don't quite understand. WHO exactly is doing recruitment, because Cartwright is actually the recruitment manager but he doesn't get credit for anything.

If we lose next week it's because bozo has taken some power away from Barrett!
