This club has gone down hill since Penn became the main man and will not recover under his ownership. Tony is trying and seems to be doing a decent job but Penn is still a handbrake.
Late 2000s and early 2010s we were a powerhouse being in the top 8 and in grand finals on a regular basis and should have stayed there, players take under to sign with a club to win a premiership and we didn't capitalise on that. Now no one wants to come here unless we pay overs or are close to retirement.
Not signing Des and giving him stupid KPIs and a crap pay after so much success letting him go to the dogs and then sacking Toovey for coming 9th after 2 great seasons.
Penn has tolerated mediocre since Toovey's sacking.
I don't expect us to be in a grand final for many years if ever, the whole Manly DNA has changed, Arko must be so disappointed of what has become of our club.
