The joint is about to implode

The club is shopping Turbo to super league? Where did you get this info from?
FYI,it’s not the club shopping Tom,it’s apparently his agent,for reasons I won’t speculate as I don’t have a signed affidavit to prove my sources.
What Mark won’t inform you of though,is that this story came out long before Weidler reported on the situation

That's my understanding too, thats its tom and not the club
 
You show a lot of confidence for a man that appears to glaze over facts and talk a lot of fiction.

Let's deal in facts.

Your first line makes it sound like Manly is and has been a well run and managed club for years. Never had any issues with coaches, former players or the NRL.... Yep 100%.... Dce just decided to blow up his lifelong club for absolutely no reason other than hes a C##t....

I think perhaps you forget Players are doing a job and getting paid for it. Sure they might love the game but some fans like yourself seem to think they owe you something because you allow them to play for you.

He made an announcement on the TV because manly as a club had failed to lock this down.... never happened before for our club has it? Coaches fired, CEO changing every 12 months, former players suing. A clueless owner. The list goes on.

If manly had have offered him a decent deal with a road map into the future back end of last year none of this happens.

He's bad at PR yes? Let's think. He wins a premiership in year 1 thanks to a great team and coach. He becomes a top half in the premiership and Manly (go back to an earlier point) decide to tell him he can go so they can sign FOZ... For screws the club for a number of reasons and THE CLUB offer a huge deal to backflip which he does (most players would).... of course he had some bad PR over this but it was just a blip in a long career.

And to directly answer your points.

1. Yes its his job. Do you have a job? Do you like to get paid? Did you ever get or pursue a payrise? Would you leave a current job for more money? If you answer yes to 2 or more of those points you are exactly the same as him.

2. Perfectly happybto be coached by Barrett? Middle of a 10 year DCE deal the CLUB signs Barrett. What is he supposed to do? FFS.

3. Obviously he felt let down by the powers that be. The same people that appear to be shopping Turbo to superleague. The same club that did rainbow gate. The same club thats backing a looser of a coach. Of course he wants to get out in front of it. He's not an idiot. Any celebrity or public figure needs to control the narrative. It's PR 101 and a SMART tactic.

4. I can't say anything nice about point 4. DW is a wanker.

So yeah. I disagree with just about everything you wrote. But thats OK. Opinions are like buses. Sometimes you get it and sometimes you dont but there will always be another just around the corner.

Finally

After Fogerty's inability to close out tonight's game im even more sure we as a Club will miss DCE a huge amount next year. Greta job Manly.
So you don’t think he polarised Manly’s fans? Really? 😂

Where on earth have I implied Manly is & has been a well-managed club for years? And you say you’re dealing in facts 😂

Yes we all know the backflip story, I’ve never blamed DCE for it & didn’t mention it in my post so not sure why you went there, but you end up agreeing with me that he’s had bad PR over his career. Cool 👍

You accuse me of thinking NRL players owe me something. Incorrect. You’re dealing in facts though, right? Not emotions? 😂

Oh, so “the facts” are that he appeared on TV because the club had failed to lock him down. Have you got a credible source for this “fact” or are you just repeating another rumour? Seems you’re using this rumour to excuse him for going off reservation with his announcement.

Have you got a credible source for the club “shopping Turbo to SL” or are you again dealing in rumours under the guise of “facts”?

There’s so much emotionally charged bullsh1t in your reply you should be ashamed of having claimed to deal in “facts”.

Have you ever thought the club simply decided they didn’t want to re-sign DCE after so many years of paying him so much yet him delivering so little?
