Do you know why he was sacked?
Sacked 3 times is just ridiculous.

Just before this gets even sillier can everyone be very very careful about what they type regarding individuals named on here.Your rumours and best mates testimony means nothing if you are making defamatory comments.Maybe just move on.
Unless you got a cool million dollars a defamation case would never see a court room. Your best bet is a cease and desist letter, but honestly if they have been around football for more than 5 minutes in Newcastle they have probably heard it all already, nothing new to see here.
Sounds like a lot of people making judgement calls on PG based on hearsay rather than facts. His background and reasons behind moving between jobs is purely speculation by most, and would blow all away if they knew the truth. He may not be everyone's cup of tea, but to suggest he doesn't know his stuff is way off the mark. He has made a huge impact on many young aspiring footballers in our region, which is why he is in such great demand.
Paul shoots from the hip with a machine gun. Also somewhat immature, both reasons why he got into trouble at The Jets. I saw it first hand. Magic will be enjoying this as one of their biggest threats chase a solution. No news around signings out of Lakes, Buds or NL? Olympic and Valo going quitely about their business?
PG single best coach in Newcastle bar none. End of story. Shouldn’t be coaching in 15s he’s above this level.
PG shoots from the hip by telling parents their kid isn't good enough or dedicated enough to make it, which is hard to hear but honest. He also is prepared to criticise coaches and management in different organisations, which is what most of us here are doing anyway, only hidden behind a keyboard. Maybe a bit immature in his approach by getting officials offside, but those that have seen him work either swear by him or feel threatened by him but want to steal his ideas.
PG Is one of the best out there, he is brilliant with kids and only wants to train kids (outside of football clubs) that are at a high skill level and are dedicated. his sessions are limited in numbers to assure quality and purpose to the session. he is not a organization like clacker, g law or wheelhouse and is a invite only coach.
he has great playing skills and I'm pretty sure he was involved in the Brisbane roar setup as a player years ago.
his downfall is , as stated he tells it how it is and parents," yes the parents who think they no it all" don't like what they here.
I heard he was at the jets but have not heard of the jaffas rumor.
he's great, but not very organised, so in an organisation or system with structure, that's the issue. Almost like a hippy from the 60's counterculture. lol.
time for a new topic.
Which clubs are coach hunting at the moment?
Any new players coming in out of academies or from other areas? Any mass exodus?
Appears to be heaps of movement in the youth space with decoupling.
mariners also run some short trials this week - Think they were only looking for a couple possibly a second keeper in 18's a couple of field players.
Best coach in Newy yeh? Tell us players he's developed into A league players or those getting contracts overseas?
That's the thing with all this 'best coach' bull crap, if you can't show me a player who's made it under a coach then the rest is just words. Keyser Soze BS for mine. If the guy hasn't made it professional himself or produced top players then maybe when he tells parents there kid ain't good enough they might ask how he'd know. #Just sayin'.
Pepper not the only one leaving Cookers
I can only hope that Olympic are on the hunt for a new coach before the whole 1st grade squad follow Rhys Cooper, Tommy Davies, Jacob Bailey, Kyle Hodges and Cody Lucas out the door. Maybe the club need to ask themselves why these players are leaving?
Let’s move on from discussing kids football in the NPL thread.
Yawn. You definitely know nothing.
My lads went higher than this stuff lol but years ago. Earned a decent $$ too, so wrongo mongo.
I can see when someone hates the truth. Your lad must be the one who got a huge leg up. Anyway happy to leave this.
Back to 1sts, I'm interested to see who NL have lined up for their return to top grade.
Cooks Hill are beating the froth out of egg hard in naming a new head coach.
Hearing NL have also signed Pat Wand
Would you prefer they do a complete clean out like cookers did and kill the culture of the club. Surely keeping mostly the same squad who dominated the the Hit comp deserve a crack at the top div? I'm sure they all know how hard it's going to be. Don't worry yourself about the humility of the squad, they'll be ok.
Let them have a dig with the boys they've got. Not like they need to worry about relegation or anything
Interesting off season with coach movement.
Herald reported yesterday that Jets have spoken to DZ about taking over Jets Youth team. Highly doubt he would be able to do both roles. Other clubs would not want a rival coach having access to best Youth players in the region as well.
Not at all! As far as Im aware there is no relegation next season so NL may as well give the current squad a crack. However there is no denying that there is a massive step up in quality between the two divisions. And from my experience in football, teams who comfortably dominate their respective competitions always seem to contain a few players who have a bit of an ego. It will just be interesting to see how those particular individuals react going from winning matches every week to possibly getting only getting a handful of victories next season.
There is a bit of movement as there are more than a few NL youth players out trailing with other clubs for next year.So either they have been moved on or choosing to leave.They should never struggle for numbers and it will take a while to build.De-coupling in youth will suit NL so it is the perfect time to build a long term program to compete at that level.Senior grades will probably depend more on how much they want to spend and how much everyone else does so those grades can change season to season.NL will be fine.
Olympic not looking to add anyone to their squad. Even after losing 4-5 players from their 20.
