This is what really grinds my gears...
Penn all-but blames the GIft situation on Toovey, and uses it in-part to terminate early. Results themselves are clearly not the issue given the very obvious injury crisis we've copped since Round 1. Add to that some of the senior players getting their precious knickers in a twist over player retention and Penn sides with them over their lack of effort in the backend of 2014.
Yet those same players had no qualms about seeing off other long-term players like Menzies, Rose and Kite over recent seasons. The selfishness is clear, but Penn is making it about Toovey, instead of acting like a leader and putting the focus on the players own efforts.
In every way, Penn's explanations contain gaps in credibility you can drive a team bus through. Retention? Gift is Toovey's fault yet it's Penn's own fault he ended up paying massive overs to retain DCE after walking from the all-but done negotiations of last year. The only reason that actually makes sense in this whole debacle and one that the media have avoided following up on specifically, is petty political plays around the revenge and appeasement of Z.
It is an absolute disgrace and the only way I would spend anymore than a basic membership on the club now (instead of the few hundred on out-of-town m'ship) is to see the back of Z from any official capacity within the club. No doubt membership took a hit this year from last, and at this rate the club will struggle to even reach current numbers, next season. And they have nobody but themselves to blame.
