It was Des all along coaching thread

[Mitch]

Here we go @Mark from Brisbane #next week
I spoke to the club today to put a hold on my auto members renewal ( 3 between my kids and I) Had a very pleasant lady on the line and she ask me why. I told her I am waiting to see who and when will the new coach be announced. Her response was " I can't tell you who it is but as a Manly supporter I'll be very happy when it's announced next week"
I must admit after talking to the young lady I'm very optimistic about our new coaching staff.

If the appointment has all but been made, as has been suggested, I'm really surprised the media haven't gotten hold of it. Maybe the leaks have dried up...

Can someone please tell me when #NextWeek actually starts?!?! I think it’s too simple to just say Monday the 15th October...

I was thinking the same thing Mitch while we where chatting, what I can say is she was going to give me a call after the announcement to discuss our memberships, I politely said don't bother calling me if it's JC or JT, her response was "I'll call you next week as you will be pleased"

TRENT Barrett has reportedly turned down desperate pleas from Manly hierarchy to coach on until the end of 2019.

O.K. Which one of you has been prank hijacking Lyall's email account? C'mon, fess up.🙂

I hope it’s bozo

Did she say which day you might expect a call?

Hey bro, what did you expect ...... she in sales .... she’s not going to say we are stuffed for 2019 and the coach will be Cartwright ! If she did she knows she won’t get your money.
Just sayin!

I really hope it’s Toovey


But it won’t be

The longer this circus keeps going the more likely Des and or 2v's are in the mix. Why? Negotiating the return of either (or both) would not be straight forward in the ways each left the club. If I were them, I also would be wanting Barrett no where near the club in any capacity so there is that legal crap also happening.

I also think Macguire is till in the mix after biting the journalists head off in yesterdays press conference. Maybe the club wanted him to start now but as he stated, his passion is to complete the test series as NZ Coach so negotiations may continue after.

The others; if Cartwrong, Henry or Taylor were actually still being considered now, I doubt the negotiations wouldn't have been concluded quickly as all them would be pretty much wanting the job. I suspect none of these 3 are in the mix.

I truely hope you are right but I think you'll be wrong. The Penns have a history of not forking out for quality and they'll be going for the cheapest option most probably Cartwright or god help us all Taylor.

It started early last season ....... we waited and waited and waited.

 

[Eagle1188]

Yes you could be correct but I like to think she was being honest with me, after all we all love our team

 

[Eagle1188]

I really hope it’s Toovey


But it won’t be

If it's Toovey I'll really happy

 

[manlywarringah]

Des or Tooves will do me.....actually Des AND Tooves will be even better!

If Barrett has indeed been asked to stay for the entire 2019 season, maybe our new coach has commitments and is unavailable until 2020?

Most supporters will be very happy if it is Toovey

Most will probably be OK if it is Des or Maguire

Anyone else and I cannot see the fans being happy

Maybe Toovey has offered to do the job for free and the Penns accepted as the cheapest option?

 

[Bearfax]

Has to be someone who played for Manly otherwise the woman at the club would not have said Manly supporters will be very pleased. Des and 2V are the obvious ones that come to mind but then again it might be someone out of left field no on expected who was a former Manly man. The Walker Bros? Watmough?

As long as Penn gives them the tools to compete, I'm happy. If a coach is acquired, because they know and accept that the poor conditions are evident, then that's not the basis you want a coach hired. Just dumb in my opinion of the club to think so.
