It was Des all along coaching thread

[40 years an eagle]

I don’t even believe the person who told me knows

I saw that already mate, no harm in passing on what you hear.

 

[Wombat64]

Before we know that Cartwright is our next coach ...... I just want the pleasure of Barrett going! Can we get excited about that first and then the replacement? That's two things to look forward to and not just one.

 

[Budgie]

My hope is that the rumour everyone is alluding to but not disclosing (doh!!!!) is that the Penns are selling.
Probably not so, in which case I wish upon the Penns:
A world full of thin people!!!!
No fat people. No customers.

I can confirm the rumour does NOT relate to that!!

Apparently Fat people like me are now called "salad dodgers"

I would suggest you’d be over the moon!!

I hope your sauce is right mate because "over the moon!!" to me means it's Tooves.

Bum.

Spit it out... or at least give a clue

 

[Highflier]

So from what i have read lets use process of elimination, while Mark hasn’t really said he wiuld be over the moon he did say they we could be, so
Not Des as Mark doesnt like him for past deeds , fair enough
Tooves yes, was badly treated and would go such a long way to right so many wrongs and True Manly fans wb very happy with that
Cleary. Highly unlikely and has been discarded as too much in demand by the pie eater from the riff and his current club
Madge i tbink that would make everyone happy and he would have to be in the frame and is a proven winner
So tell me if i am wrong ,but other than the above i cant see to many more available coaches that would make Manly fans “over the moon”? Assuming ofcourse we r talking coaches not players
So for me its “Tooves to drag Manly from the dark abyss to the promised land of finals and GF glory...again”
There is a free headline for the “journalist s” trawling this site for ideas
Go Manly

 

[SeaEagle21]

Just because the Penns and the players want Cartwrong to be the new coach. Doesn’t necessarily mean he will be.

I'm confused mate, if the Penns don't get who they want then who does?

 

[Johnno74]

Ok so u dont have to post truths or facts on here, u can post what you think or what u feel is right .Just trying to confuse the situation lol So Mark whats wrong with just saying what uve heard wether wrong or right it doesnt matter they wont judge you on here hahaha

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

Apparently Fat people like me are now called "salad dodgers"

I'm a bit overweight and I like tossed salad. In fact I just tossed a bag of baby spinach into the bin about half an hour ago.

 

[SeaEagle21]

Gorman?

That's how a normal club would function. I just can't buy that the Penn family would sit back and accept a decision that didn't go in their favour. Happy to be proven wrong of course

 

[SeaEagle21]

I think Gorman understands what makes clubs successful. I think he's in touch with what supporters want.
I think he's the type of guy that would have a difficult conversation with the Penns about sucking up their pride and appointing Tooves.
He seems to be the type of bloke that wouldn't have taken the role if he wasn't gifted the ability to make these kinds of decisons...

A lot of assumptions with no facts... But let's see what happens.

Tooves is exactly what our club needs right now. Crowds would come back. He has gained more coaching experience and he knows what he's in for.

Fingers crossed.

Yep fingers crossed mate, we'll just have to sit, wait and hope that a good appointment as coach will give us fans some optimism and excitement for next season

Maybe they won’t have any say in the coaching decision

 

[eaglebuzz]

Have I missed something? What is all this cryptic noise and when will we know something?

 

[Budgie]

Maybe they won’t have any say in the coaching decision

Give us two or three scenarios in which that might not be the case ...

 

[Mal Cochrane]

Toovey

heart = yes
Head = no

Only because of the atrocious condition Manly is currently in, I have only seen Toovs be successful taking over a team that goes down in history as one of the greats.

But how does he go getting a team out of the gutter, developing young blokes effectively, attracting gun players etc. He only got the gig somewhat by default.

I would not be upset at all if he got the gig, but get prefer a proven career coach at this stage of Manly’s history.

He didn't do too bad in 15 with a dreadful roster, far worse than we have now, a massive injury toll, finishing 9th with all the pressure on him with the rubbish going on at the time.
All without complaining about the facilities.
