Hey Guys,
been a Manly fan since I can remember, hell even bought a Northern Eagles jersey etc and still have it. I have been a football club member since Manly came back, haven't lived in Manly for about 30+ plus years yet I still renew my leagues club membership, just to support the club.
I have been reading this site since it was created, enjoy the banter and people's opinions.
To put it bluntly, we lost this battle to the dogs. Regardless what has been said, their offers either finacial or career wise were better than Manly's. What has happened, has happened. They new players only win premierships every now and then, but a winning system is hard to find..(well they found ours).
My opinion, is that the decisions by individuals to leave were made way before the grand final. I was at the GF 08 and the GF 11, I noticed a few people didn't walk around before or with the players this year...
Accountability.... Someone within the Manly organisation has to come out and say why it happened.. If we do not get a response, what will you as a supporter do about it? Me, until I get a response or no response, I will not make my decision till then (then vote appropriately).
The only thing I know that I can take away from this is, that we have some very passionate supporters, but a question I want to ask is what will people do about what has happened??
Me, I will still support, will still fly into Sydney around Father's day weekend for the game with my son, will still renew my membership, will still argue over beers that our cheerleaders are the hottest.
We lost this battle to the dogs, we need to win the war over every team.
Cheers
Hutto
