Its called nepotism @double hoops , plain and simple, and currently this club is full of it.
Post of the week, Marty (er Terry)No, I think as supporters it's important we turn our back on the club now that things are looking crook, and come back again when things are sweet.
Are you upset because the CEO won't return your calls as well..?Some of you guys are full of your own importance. I will support the club however the hell I want. If I wanna bitch and moan relentlessly, I will. Go support another club? Shove your advice. I don't want it. Just because we scored a few consolation tries and Canberra had already left the building by that stage, doesn't make me feel better at all. Ryan's right, you have to look at the club as a whole. We are a rabble...
Mate I've been supporting this great club since 1971, and I can tell you one think,and that is ill take my support to my grave,OK I admit I've been angry at this years performance by the team as a whole,I expected and I guess most of you guys and girls out there,that we'd be a lot higher up the ladder as to where we stand right now,good times will come again,so let's get behind the team I'm sure that they would appreciate our support.Now that, Sir.....is the best post ever!
To all those about to let go.....
Anyone disappointed in that effort last night, as busted as we were, with everything seemingly against us.....well, it makes me think that there is a glaringly obvious problem alright.
The club hasn't lost the tough fighting spirit that personifies Manly. You have.
You can shield yourself behind whichever term you wish, be that "realistic", "disheartened", "pragmatic" or consider it just a matter of fact if you like, but I won't.
This is a rough patch we're in right now, and it may take a while to get through it, but you don't stop. You keep putting one foot in front of the other and battle on regardless. Manly fans are made of tough stuff. How about we look for positives? It's far too easy, and there are enough people already pointing out the negatives.
If anyone really, truly and sincerely believes that this team and club is letting them down, then it doesn't matter if you've supported Manly your entire life or have just come on board in the last couple of years, now is the time to part ways. No one will blame you. You've just lost, or never had the real, dig in when times are tough, Manly attitude. Just don't come back when we hit the good times again, because that would just be sad. A smart poster on here said once, "Tough times build character". Don't let tough times destroy yours.
Stick solid. Back the team. We'll be back!
I remember 1984. The book not the season.By the way no doubt all the media and most of the executive of the club will be glued to Silvertails all weekend, so just be aware of that.
I know they read my comments as I've had several calls to delete many (too close to the truth I guess, and plus they have my phone number), and as we know Dan's already received communications from them regarding not naming names (which be the way is 100% fine with me).
So just be aware "they are watching",
To be fair we had enough opportunities to score enough trys.Some of you guys are full of your own importance. I will support the club however the hell I want. If I wanna bitch and moan relentlessly, I will. Go support another club? Shove your advice. I don't want it. Just because we scored a few consolation tries and Canberra had already left the building by that stage, doesn't make me feel better at all. Ryan's right, you have to look at the club as a whole. We are a rabble...
During the glory days the club would call me all the time, usually asking for money. I'm happy with the silence.The CEO has never rung me neither, not once. Come to think of it, I shop at woollies and their boss man hasn't bothered to ring me either. What's wrong with these people? If manly don't win at least 48 percent of their remaining games and someone at the club doesn't ring me to say hi and discuss how I will transform the club for them, that's it, I'm done.
Not me, I was too busy watching Big Brother.I remember 1984. The book not the season.
At the moment we're faced with a Brave New World.Not me, I was too busy watching Big Brother.
