Manly in Crisis (a mega thread)

[Shoe1]

What do you think of Paul Merlot?

 

[BOZO]

Cancer isn't always visible yet it can eat away from within causing all else to fail over time.

Yes, the front office is not on the park but everything they get right or in our case WRONG affects every aspect of our performance.

I disagree feathered friend

The fact is

It did not affect our performance when we won grand finals in 2008 and 2011

Control freak and a BIG contributor to our failures.

Our defence is shocking and that is TOTALLY on him. Defence is attitude and it's his job to get the players to have the mongrel or attitude we need. I love watching teams attack with defence. We used to do that but now we are pussy cats.

You can be a control freak if you're delivering great results but he ain't

He didn't deliver in the last few years at the dogs and outside of a freak season from Turbo he isn't here.

If he can't see he needs help and needs to change then he needs to go. Simple.

I reckon he has our dopey owners and the dopey ****s in the front office bluffed & scared and as a result the club is ****ed and can't move forward.

I love how you hold back and don't say what you really think.

@Wombat64 is a Legend

You know very well who appointed the proven coach feathered friend and at the time he was our best option

And he is still our best option now, I don't agree with Flanagan or Maguire, Flanagan's been putting his hand up for every coaching job around, and not wanted, as for Maguire, allowing that Tales from Tigertown doco has rooted his chances of coaching first grade again.

I was talking about at the time and At the time he was our best option

2023 is the year that will be finally confirmed

So the front office then.

So the front office then.

Yes feathered friend ,

At the time the front office made the appropriate move and appointed the past and proven successful Manly coach

Lol, the breaking news has turned to wine preferences.
I agree that we fans do need a wine or two after this season.
I once had a glass of Chiraz Cab Merlot at a super fancy restaurant in Brisbane. I can't remember the drop but it tasted like velvet.
Anyway #breakingnews from BWS coming soon.

He was a massive pants man ......

Do you mean when Des had full control and effectively separated the football operations from the head office? those successful years?

I recall he was the leather clad village people character in rugby league new faces

BREAKING NEWS : Des refusing to attend tomorrow club meeting.

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

2019? wooden spoon contenders to almost a prelim with the same squad?

in those last few years, what did the dogs and Manly currently have in common? head office instability and infighting.

Des isn't the messiah and has multiple issues however for me right now there isn't a better 'proven' option.

 

[Marto1970]

My wish after the review is everyone to be just be HONEST. Then share with everyone including us supporters.

simple things like - where are we with the salary cap - how are they going to have real player engagement - what is the plan moving forward - are we targeting anybody and if so what positions

from a coaching perspective Des needs to find a way to make players accountable each week

You would think all contracts are confidential,club ,player ,player manager, NRL would know the details and they would all leak details when it is in their best interest (mainly player manager) but it wouldn't be good business having 15 other clubs knowing all your finances or players your looking to employ

 

[Wombat64]

What a ****wit not turning up to the meeting. He's done

 

[Wombat64]

BREAKING NEWS : Des refusing to attend tomorrow club meeting.

What a cock. **** him off.

 

[Briza]

Des had the same Sqaud humming last season, Injuries have Cruelled us and if the players are infighting also then the buck must stop with them.
