Manly in Crisis (a mega thread)

[XV-1]

According to Kenty on 360 tonight, Wayne Bennett met with Tom and Jake at a local coffee shop today.

Clearly they are not really with Des, unless they know he is gooonnne!!

Hmmm

 

[mickqld]

It's Des scrambling for ammunition to take to the Thursday showdown. Seriously this is just like the shootout at the end of The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. Des , Penn and Mestrov.
Well we never can just disappear into the off-season can we. Fu*k me dead.

According to Paul Kent - Wayne Bennet met the Turbo bros today in a coffee shop.

I think he was talking junk

 

[DUFFMAN]

Kent has strike rate of 3%.

Just drop any crap to get get clicks.
So much other crap will get posted everyone forgets these stories, on the old chance one comes true he puffs his chest out and saying see I told you.

 

[XV-1]

There is some noise that Des himself requested the survey to be put in as it would come out favourably for him and his staff

That is correct. Des and his mgr were going to take the positive findings to the Thursday meeting with Mestrov and Penn.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Get Netflix onto that Thursday meeting. A reality show of epic proportions.

 

[JenEagle]

As fans how long do we have to go through this.

is this worse than when des left in 2011, the Glenn Stewart debacle in 2014. The losing of Foran and then the sacking of Toovey disaster and and the Trent Barrett nightmare. Now this. Far out.

 

[Nordburg]

My thoughts exactly. I don't want des punted but will cop it on the chin if he is replaced by a real coach someone like flano or toove. Not a muppet like slater or someone inexperienced like Hales.

I think there's a degree of payback from 2011 at play here as well

Tooves hasn’t coached in the NRL in 7 years and in my opinion was heavily assisted by an experienced squad,he’s similar to Walters in he’s great at motivating but does not have the smarts.As for Flanagan,there’s a reason why he was not given one of the several vacant positions that opened up this year

 

[Stevo]

I would suggest its common practice to gauge the feelings of the players at the end of a disappointing season. And id also suggest we are not the only club who has carried one out. We all know the football club is different to the football department. Its possible Des or the football manager actioned it so they could take the results to the football club. Im fairly sure if Des knew he'd lost the playing group he'd walk away. Why would he want to get sacked or finish worse next season if he has?

For as long as we have an owner who refuses to run the club and resource it like a professional sporting entity.

 

[niccipops]

Just a question. Why did the information have to be giant? It hurt my eyes.

Is the football club the judean people’s front, and the football department the people’s front of Judea?

 

[master blaster]

Well I just watched the interview with DCE and Tom, and Tom said he is going nowhere. He and jake love the club ,the area and they dont have a problem with DCE. So who are you going to believe

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Geez this is real gutter journalism.

I’ve heard it all now.

Really? He'd get paid out either way.

Fox League continually pump up Flanagan's tyres, and coaching availability ... but there are obvious reasons why clubs are giving him a wide berth.

He wouldn't get paid if he chose to walk away (if he realised he had lost the playing group).

 

[bob dylan]

What highly rated prospective coach would even want to join the club at this rate?

Twent.

 

[winnyason]

Garbage. Fultons don't have issue with Des it's scott Penn
