OFFICIAL: HASLER SACKED & SEIBOLD NEW COACH

[SeaEagleRock8]

I hope Seinfeld brings out the best in who we have left in the squad

OMG you may have just given him his Manly nickname. Especially if our season becomes a farce.

“Des has a contract for as long as he wants, really,” Penn said.

- 31st July, 2022

And in the next breath, something along the lines: as long as he continues to perform

 

[Highflier]

I think you are missing the point of my comment,no I am not reading anything into it,I wasn't suggesting they would leave(let me know where I did),but if they are unhappy,that shines through at training etc...
If they put their support behind Seibold quickly it will help a lot to unite the playing group,if they do nothing then it gives the media ammunition to try to undermine the playing group.
My comment was about the unity of the playing group,not whether the turbos leave.

Tommy and Jake are good people ,and even though they are paid like kings ,have the Manly clubs best interest at heart, I really can't see them leaving despite this cluster phuck.
They will get on with it and get everyone else on board. This also might be a chance to elevate Jake to at least a shared Captaincy role.
I hate seeing us eat our own like this .Fault on both sides i.e Des is stubborn as a mule and Penn is just a clueless rich kid mommy's boy.
We need a gun head trainer ,a front rower and a dynamic 9
Anyhoo go Siebs

We will never forget you, Dave Hasler

Hahaha. That is gold!

It will be a football team about nothing.

 

[robbiea]

Seinfeld and our new assistants.
Im calling our coach Jerry from here on out ,with George and Kramer being given to whoever steps up to the plate.

On a more important note, how's that petition going?

Is Penn Sr. Mr Steinbrenner?

 

[Keffola]

I guess this was always going to happen when Seibold was annouced as assistant, better a clean cut now than a dead man walking Hasler next year impacting our season.

Hopefully it is a clean cut though and that Penn at least pulls his ego and pays Hasler his due. Otherwise can see this getting dragged out in the courts over Hasler payout.

Knowing Penn though, fat chance of that.

Yep the petition was critical in getting to this result

A clean cut is the only option, the Hasler situation had gone beyond the point of no return, in hindsight bringing Hasler back was far from the best thing for the club and the supporters. 2023 would have been just more of the same with frustrations boiling over after each disinterested display, change was desperately needed and most on here would have to agree imo

I agree @eagleron The whole situation had become completely untenable for Des to continue as Manly Head Coach. It was impossible to imagine how Des could play a positive role for the future, with most of his power removed, and a new assistant coach (who he didn't want) taking his job the following year. That situation would have been disastrous. Yes a clean cut was the only solution, and over time I think we will be much better for it. Go Manly.

 

[eagleron]

My old company are masters at it if they want to avoid a payout they go back through their expenses looking for something dodgy.

You just got Penns attention, lol

 

[EagleFromMay1967]

Non Manly coaches (Anthony Siebold) NEVER work out. Never. Well not since 1967 anyway.

We haven't employed any ... it's the reason we are currently a club of inbred crayon eating dribblers ... we need fresh DNA injected up us with passionate abandon ....

Manly coaches only won 8 of the 55 premierships since 1967 ;-)

or 11 if you count Cleary (2) and Reilly (1)

 

[eagleron]

This comes across as you doing the bidding for Des. Des the control freak who runs everything didn't get informed of something so important by Bonasera? yep I'm not believing that hopefully Des does go to court and we see the truth.

I do agree it's hard to believe knowing what a micro manager Hasler is, I have great difficulty seeing that happening myself

9 if you count 2013 rip off

 

[Snoz1976]

Everywhere Des goes it gets messy. Maybe it is him and not Penn and Co.

This resonates on so many different levels.

Remind me of how many coaches and CEOs Penn has gone through since taking over. Trying to pin this all on Des is a bloody joke given Penn has just as much of a **** track record.

Reality its probably a combination of both Des and Penn's mess, but Des will at least always be a club legend having played and coached us to premierships.

Penn has added sweet **** all value to the club in my opinion.

 

[BOZO]

On behalf of the Silvertails passionate Sea eagles

I would like to thank Des for his Legendary contribution to our Legendary club

Des's second coming did not bring us the anticipated success

And we now welcome the fresh change we all crave for

Good luck to our new coach and former NRL coach of the year Anthony Seibold

Every one deserves a fair go and we all hope he goes well
