Sack Seibold Immediately

[LeonardCohen]

Regardless of whether Seibold can coach or not, his recruitment and retention approach is way off.

From a marketing viewpoint, which for Penn equates to revenue, it would be a disaster to enter the 2026 season with Boldy as coach. To sell memberships and merchandise a fan needs to have hope. If 2026 arrives and we've still got the same bloke in charge revenues will tank.
I think this will be the most important reason for Penn in his decision to change the coach.

I hope your right, but for some reason we have had record membership numbers with a poor footy team. I'm not sure why this is happening but let's hope the remaining games we lose all of them to put doubt into membership numbers next year.

Ita about results the Penns said... laughable. Watching his minute long interviews I want to cry... he couldn't motivate a dog. He is so flat and his body language is of a defeated man. Let him off the hook already.

Watmough is always going against something, never settled and is bitter towards factions at the club. Toxic individual

Absolutely agree 100%.

If this is not sign that the players have stop responding to the coach, then nothing is. The owner and CEO cannot ignore us supporter who spend their hard-earned cash to support the club. I remember when Tigers members threw their membership onto the ground, maybe we should do the same. I live in Auckland, and I am seriously considering not spending any money renewing my membership or buying merchandise anymore.

Not make any changes or holding people accountable and expect a different result, you have got to be kidding me. This is not good enough and members/supported should make this known next week. I would even go as far as doing a walkout at halftime because it seems the club and the owner take our support, money and loyalty for granted. Until we take action, nothing is going to happen. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!

Absolutely well said and this is exactly why fans need to stand together.

Penn’s ‘leadership’ has shown nothing but ego and failure. He has achieved nothing of his own and continues to ride on the success of his father’s dubious ways. He 'oversaw' the controversial sale of the Brookvale Leagues Club land to Chinese developers, with little transparency and no reinvestment into the club. This isn’t about building Manly, it’s about owning a club as a status symbol, protecting his image, and putting his ego above the team and its supporters.

Supporters have power when we unite, there is no doubt about it. West Tigers fans turned off auto-renew and staged protests. Premier League fans have walked out, marched, and even invaded the pitch forcing Manchester United to cancel a game, back out of the European Super League, and give up partial control. That’s the impact we can have if we act together.

Through social media, press, memberships, merchandise and yes, even a walkout we can make sure our voices are heard. Manly deserves leadership that prioritises the team’s success over personal status.

Nothing changes if we don’t take action.

We’ll keep getting the same results over and over if the person at the top stays.

We can start immediately by using these hashtags on social media. Reply to any NRL, Manly, or related articles and posts with:

My households both checked out of membership renewals a week ago. It's a good start if people really want change. Hit them where it hurts.

Well done....!!

Seibold was quoted as saying after the Tigers loss 'We were entrenched in the finals so the last month has been really disappointing for us.'

He should look up the word entrenched in the dictionary. The guy is delusional. Taken every excuse out of Trent Barrett's playbook.

Just find it interesting that apparently DCE thinks Seibold is a worse coach than Barrett.

Maybe the Barrett years showed him how bad it gets with a bad manager, and he thought not doing that again.

Yeah before that Melbourne game, we had a bye and a couple of average wins against the Tigers and Souths. Prior to that, we’d been beaten by the Titans, Knights, and Eels.
