Manly in Crisis (a mega thread)

[Sea Eagle 4 Life]

Sticky said tonight on 100% Footy that his two assistant coaches (McFadden and White) are moving on at the end of 2022 and he will be looking for replacements.

This suggests 1) Des won't be the only coach looking for assistants for 2023 and 2) Monas or Chad could end up at the Raiders...

........and Monas did play for the Raiders.

Kenty ... ALL HAIL KENTY .. in an article today about the nonsense of giving coaches a deadline to perform ...he says coaches then make short term decisions .. and then you sack a coach mid season .. just dumb ..

But here's the rub ... he goes on to throw this gem in about Dessie ..

quote ... "and Des Hasler, which might have a deeper undercurrent than just performance, a power grab is currently on at the Sea Eagles, and Hasler is unwilling to secede "

Anywho .. what do you think of that @Red Pill . .. what do you say about my tin foil hat now Mr. McSmarty face pants ...

May need a new poll - "Will Des secede" 🤣

May need a new poll - "Will Des secede" 🤣

Reminds me of the old joke...
Will Des climb the ladder to success?

 

[Supreme Leader]

OK well the mail is Des is not under the radar.... so, who would we replace him with...that 1. will be successful or 2. Understand our culture? 3. Meets Silvertails approval?

Or is the answer we need to toughen up, and just deal with an outsider ruffling up feathers?

Don't get me wrong but Trent was a disaster.

On gods earth what are you suggesting?

Toovey ???

With a bit of help

 

[Supreme Leader]

Toovey ???

With a bit of help

He's been there done that, I don't think he wants the gig, has a poor relationship with the Penns

You are most likely right , but he would be an obvious choice.

 

[mave]

has a poor relationship with the Penns

Isn't that just a given for everyone?

 

[XV-1]

Toovey ???

LOLOLOL. the Penns sacked Toovey as soon as they got full ownership of Manly.

More chance Twent will come back for a 2nd gig.

Who has a good relationship with Penn?????

I don’t know about “ LOL” but I grant you it’s a fair stretch

BUT, he might be their only option if Hasler goes , no one else would take us on!!

Flanagan would jump at coaching us. I think he would be good. He would also bring some hard headed grubs into the club, which we need.

But he is not Manly which seems to be a sticking point.

Yes which is why I threw up who I did !!

I believe he is the best option out there.... unfortunately if our main requirement is that the coach is X manly... we won't have any options for a long time coming!

 

[DSM5]

Seibold anyone?

 

[fLIP]

Why does everyone keep suggesting Flanagan. He can’t string two words together on fox and his ‘premiership team’ was so juiced there’s still traces of them in gallen.

He may not be able to string two words together but at least he has had a haircut in the past 12 months!

Just sayin’

What part of our current culture are you desperate to keep .. ?

Successful teams create their own culture ...

 

[Ryan]

Seibold anyone?

Seibold, with Cronk as assistant (still has Manly DNA). Two blokes that would demand effort. Two blokes that wouldn't accept a group pulling in different directions. Seibold would love to move back to the Northern Beaches.

Most importantly, two blokes that KNOW the modern game.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Penn will need to get his wallet out to oust Des. Looks inevitable to me.
