Powerful Parramatta Eels lobby group demands title and coaching shake-up — or else

A powerful Parramatta lobby group will meet with senior Eels management next week in an attempt to have Paul Green, Shane Flanagan and Tim Sheens named on Brad Arthur’s coaching staff.
The Daily Telegraph can reveal the 20-member group will virtually demand a premiership win in 2021 or start agitating to overthrow the board.
While Parramatta reached week two of the finals for a second successive season, the advocate group — comprising local businessmen, corporate partners, politicians and sponsors — remain unsettled and unfulfilled.

The group is not seeking to have Arthur sacked — he re-signed this year for a further two seasons — but will push the board to employ additional and high profile assistants.

This is the same lobby group with influential connections which helped crunch the numbers to unseat former clubs powerbrokers Roy Spagnolo and Steve Sharp.

It is understood around five members of the group will meet Eels chief executive Jim Sarantinos, club chairman Sean McElduff, and possibly general manager of football Mark O’Neill, on Thursday.
If ignored, group members has promised to unleash its political power.
Members of the group believe Arthur needs to surround himself with additional football nous.
The group will propose Green and Flanagan be assistants with Sheens named as coaching director. A two-time former Canberra premiership-winning coach, Sheens resigned as Widnes coach earlier this month.
Green (North Queensland) and Flanagan (Cronulla) have also won NRL premiership as coaches. Flanagan played with Parramatta between 1992 and 1994.
The group wants to work with directors but there are suggestions the meeting could become feisty if Parramatta officials are issued an ultimatum to either win the title in 2021 or face a possible off-field shake-up.
There are also concerns that several Parramatta board members are not Eels supporters. LOL
Members of the group say Parramatta is a “tier one” NRL club which must end the club’s 34-year premiership drought. They are giving Arthur tenuous support.
Group members believe Parramatta should be winning at least one grand final every decade.
Arthur — universally respected — has won 30 of 48 games over the past two seasons for a success rate of 62.5 per cent. His assistant coach this year was David Kidwell.
The group’s members did not want to talk publicly until after next week’s meeting.
Group members also want to know the board’s strategies and how much money can be spent to develop the club’s coaching staff.
There was much discussion about the season at the Ken Thornett Medal – won by skipper Clint Gutherson - at Rosehill Gardens Racecourse on Tuesday night.
Representatives from the club’s major sponsors are understood to have joined the debate.

When I read this I thought you were posting a Beetoota advocate article.

So some group wants parra to sign every available coach as an assistant.

Go for it, I say!

Have a look at sports around the world and the behaviour of players scoring. Gutho's behaviour is tame in comparison. Getting excited about scoring, which is fundamental to these players role, is naturally going to result in an outburst of elation. Some just point to the stands., some indulge in a great hug fest, some like Mundine and Blacklock do backward somersaults, some like Inglis do that crawling action, some use a strange hand slapping behaviour. Its part of the sport and its part of their excitement. If it annoys opposition supporters, all the more the fun.

The titillation reference applied more to the media stories, not to Guthos actions. It was trying to get into the seediness that can be found in any situation and playing it up to sell their product, because it draws people in.

The thing I’ve always found most endearing about George is his lack of showboating. Scores a try, shrugs his shoulders, and walks back into position.

Elaborate try celebrations are a product not just of natural elation but also of the media coverage and the cult of celebrity they foster. Like a lot of people I find it a bit distasteful and unAustralian. I think of Australians as stoic and understated. Vulgar displays celebrating your sporting achievements are for the brash Yanks, not for the quiet and steady Aussies.

It’s hard to picture the members of the 9th infantry gathering together in the ruins of Tobruk to hug each other and flash gang signs every time they knocked out a panzer.

Classic.

ps some of their players aren’t eels fans either

 

[Ranga]

I thought the funniest thing in that article was the statement that Arthur was “universally respected”!

 

[The Who]

Doesn'tmatta obviously has an unlimited budget for its coaching staff.

This is the most astonishing move of absolute numbnuttery I have ever witnessed ... it deserves it's own thread for discussion ...

To wait until the club has 2 of their most successful years since 1986, re-sign the Coach for a further 2 years, and then agitate a palace coup by a bunch of neville's is a priceless example of fukknuttery ...

"If ignored, group members has promised to unleash its political power." they said ...

There is sufficient argument that to have a head coach overseen by a strong coaching director is a recipe for a winter of discontent .....

I cannot imagine a better way to fukk Parra beyond all recognition than to have 4 Alpha Males, like Arffur, Green, Flannigan and Sheens, all of them wanting a 1st grade gig, all in the same room trying to run the same football team ... what could possibly go wrong ...

Go on Parra ... do it ... please do it ...

Yep it didn't work at manly in recent years when Bozo's coaching was being interfered with by Barrett.

I can see why they are upset, Greenberg practically promised them a premiership this year to go with their shiny new stadium.
They believed he'd deliver but once he was gone they proceeded to stuff it up.
Hopefully they turn on each other and implode.

What's the longest coaching stint without a premiership?

BA has been coach there for 7 seasons which you'd think is enough time to put together a premiership-winning squad.

Only winning 1 match from 6 finals games, including going out in straight sets twice, seems like a coaching issue to me.
