Manly in Crisis (a mega thread)

[Mark from Brisbane]

I’ve been in meetings all morning, what’d I miss?

About 7 stories on Twitter , all doom & gloom

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

We just have to suffer a few more days of this **** and then the journos will move to real football stories.

And Mestrov will come out and tell us what’s going on.

I agree he’ll start , but it’s no certainty he’ll have the C beside his name.

He may well , but you can bet with all the pressure on there’ll be a secret ballot within the playing group.

Then we will really know the true story, it’s all been absolute bull**** OR it was true from the start.

If we end up with a new coach I can see them appointing Jake/Tom as captain as a fresh start for the team. Can't see DCE leaving though.

To be honest ( old age ) I’ve forgotten.

No it wasn’t generic , we used the players name.

We set it up as a discussion thread on here “ huge signing news but hush hush keep it just to Silvertails “

And I made up some bull**** inside story about knowing a close member of the family and them confiding in me that player XXXX was going to announce the big news after the GF. If they won , a week later , if they lost a few days later.

The funniest thing was it was Grand Final week and this story made to the main story in the telegraph.

It was hilarious and as soon as the story came out we updated to say it was just a dare !!

Talk about whoever the journo was having egg on their face

I remember you and Dan doing it. But my memories crap as well. Can’t remember the player.
Just checking, but you and Dan didn’t start this one for fun, did you?

 

[Matai's shoulder]

Kent - Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

 

[Andrew..]

The worst part for me is, that, in my gut i feel this is all still just shuffling deck-chairs on the Titanic. Until this club is truly run in a professional manner I fear we will continue to live in the shadow of the next f**k up.

I'm more interested in the 'journo' than the player, tbh...!

For a bunch of blokes that hate each other, they look pretty happy to me!

About 7 stories on Twitter , all doom & gloom

Same stories, containing the same unconfirmed "facts", slightly different click-bait headlines. Welcome to the modern media landscape.

I love what Payton has done at the Cows and that was delivered via a simple game plan with an uncompromising mindset.

Payton is/was not afraid of his stars... JT got sat on the pine, the hammer went back to reserve grade and Valentine got told he does not belong at fullback...

 

[rj90]

Apparently it was a $20M bid..

Owner Scott Penn is currently back in Australia from New York amid reports a private consortium has tabled a $20 million bid to buy the Manly club.

Be patient my feathered friend. Let’s see what happens later in the week. A part from more fox hyperbole from digging up anything they can find I suspect not would have changed come this time next week. Btw the awards night photos for yesterday look pretty harmonious to me.

sigh

"Amid reports"..... 'tabled' sometime since 1947 and def not at a journo drinking session.

So... as "reported" by a journo doing some clickbait.

It's baaaaack.....

[Highflier]

And Old Ztc is at it again.
Pumping out propaganda left right and centre.
How many factions are there though ?
The Des camp
The Fulton gang.
The new Mestrov faction.
Is Penn aligned with the Fultons,Mestrov or Des ?,
Or are they a completely separate faction /
Or is the media the only faction here ,hooking us and reeling us into their BS Game ?
I'm confused !
And totally over this sh1t !

Dont forget the Tartak 10 faction ,The Trojevic faction and the DCE faction (a faction of 1,if you believe whats been written )

I feel sorry for Arko. Not only is he mourning his wife's recent passing but he's sitting there watching the club he loves implode and like us, there is nothing he can do to stop it.

Double whammy.

Apparently Zorba said similar today on the BSB this morning that not only his he still mourning his late wife but the club is self destructing and this is all he has left, the club and the team and all this stuff wouldnt be happening if he was still in control or if Bozo was still around, it would have been nipped in the bud straight away

Sorry, the Penn family must go ..... they are the constant in our decade of failure.

They seem to like being owners but no offence they really just aren't good at it. They are ****.

As long as they are here. We are stuck in bottom 8 oblivion. Sure we'll get the occasional cock tease of a good year every now and then but we'll NEVER win another comp with them in charge.

Pretty sure it was Bulldog Ritchie but again I don’t remember exactly

No , in all honesty this is what could happen.

New coach
New Captains
Half back remains ( no one will want him at 1.2 million a year )
