I love it when people add a post to a thread which they say should be let alone to wither and die.
Then post in it again 20 minutes later to make sure it keeps going @:D
Then post in it yet again !

It’s akin to censorship! A thread should have the freedom to breathe and live on while ever there is a poster willing to give it life!
 
Loved DCE from day one, and it grew as he did. Qlder, premiership winner, Origin, Australia etc etc. Nothing better than him lifting the Origin shield and all the farkwhack Bronco supporters squirming and squinting. Hell, he even walks out in the intro and says "Sarina Crocodiles", my very own junior club. But......

If Mestrov and the club are ready to move in a different direction I'll live with that..no one is bigger than our club!

Good Morning feathered friend . I appreciate your Manly Passion and I know you mean well .
Let us put this post to its correct perspective
DCE appeared on TCN 9 because it was evident that Mestrov did not appear to have the CEO Smarts and Diplomatic and Negotiation skills to close the case inhouse and in harmony !

I stopped reading at this point because it’s so blatantly unobjective, & no doubt the rest of your post is based on this fallacy.

You don’t know what happened behind the scenes but the fact is, our club captain, who is still contracted to us for the rest of this season, appeared on a TV show absent any Manly clothing, to announce his departure at the end of this season, without advising the club first.

I don’t know what mental gymnastics you’ve performed to attribute blame for this to Mestrov, but the truth of the matter shouldn’t require such effort.
 

Smear and loathing​

SMH - 06/04/25 - Danny "The Turd" Weirdler

Manly do not want emails detailing their negotiations with Daly Cherry-Evansto be made public because they will expose the basis for the smear campaign DCE has spoken about.

Cherry-Evans has nothing to hide, and while he will toe the company line and continue to dedicate himself to the Sea Eagles, if emails detailing negotiations were made public it would not be him who would look bad.

There are questions to be asked internally at Manly about the negotiations with DCE.

One major line of inquiry must be the accuracy with which the negotiations were detailed in the emails. We have put this to the Sea Eagles, and they did not want to comment.

What we can say is that Sea Eagles owner Scott Penn is of the firm view an offer was put to Cherry-Evans well in advance of the knee-jerk offer after it was revealed he was leaving the club.

“I have seen the emails, and we put forward a firm number in November last year, so to suggest we didn’t is wrong,” Penn told me. “They just wanted more.”

The DCE camp disputes this. There was an offer being prepared and an amount of money discussed, but it was never formalised, and no offer was made by Manly. We put that to Penn.

“Danny, I don’t want to go into the specifics of the negotiations,” he said. “We definitely put forward a strong offer, and they were clear they wanted more. We are not able to get to the number they are seeking, therefore respect their decision to go to market.”

Manly are still of the view this is about money. It’s really about respect.

Sea Eagles chief executive Tony Mestrov has been singled out as the person DCE was referring to when he spoke in the press conference following the clash with the Eels on Sunday about a smear campaign. Penn said he had no concerns about Mestrov.

“Tony is firmly part of our plans,” he said.

Mestrov won’t make any more media appearances. It is significant that he was removed as a guest from NRL 360. The suggestion is that Penn pulled him out of that appearance and another on a podcast.

“Tony and I were totally on the same page that enough had been said, and we didn’t need to comment any further,” Penn said. “Therefore, we politely declined the opportunities.”

Mestrov does have the support of Fox Sports and News Corp, where he has many allies. He is close enough with Fox Sports boss Steve Crawley to phone through an offer he said he was going to make to Cherry-Evans, rather than make it to his captain directly. He also has close relationships with other News Corp executives.

Seibold and strong​

The rumours and smear surrounding Cherry-Evans’ Manly departure have claimed other victims, including Manly coach Anthony Seibold.

It has been reported that Seibold and Tony Mestrov are best mates and somehow working against DCE. They definitely have a working relationship, but to report that they attended each other’s weddings and even had a role in the ceremonies is rubbish. They played a few games against each other in England and have since worked together at Manly.

Not so long ago, it was reported that Seibold stormed out of a meeting with Mestrov as they attempted to negotiate a new contract. That doesn’t suggest a close friendship.

Seibold has a good working relationship with Cherry-Evans and the pair respect each other at that level. This column reported that Seibold wasn’t at Cherry-Evans’ recent wedding, which is a fact, but we spoke to the Manly coach before writing that and he wasn’t concerned about being left off the invitation list, given the pair had not known each other for long at that stage. He said he would not have expected an invitation to something as private as a wedding.

Seibold remains unaffected by all the talk, as he has been through much worse as Broncos coach when he had to deal with his own smear campaign, which was all over social media. That had a genuine impact on him and his family, but it also toughened him up to be able to deal with the kind of stuff that’s being reported now.
