Who's Next - aka New Manager Speculation Discussion

[Frodo]

So what exactly is it that Zane brings to the table.

Watching his side's in the NPL they are the weakest we have fielded

Not one of the current batch will make it to the HAL

I can't for the life of me see many he has actually improved either



He has no runs on the board anywhere yet we keep finding him a gig

Plenty of great assistant coaches can't head coach. Different Coaches require different skills from their assistant coach, it's one of the most important tools he has and some coaches now the exact attributes they need, others can tailor there needs based on who is available. Maybe Merrick is happy for the boys to have a familiar face giving them different ideas rather than add a 'getting to know you' period between them. We don't need to re-invent the wheel here to be more competitive so I can't see Zane being the worst assistant.

I don't believe the only reason we didn't want Millicic was because Lee wanted to save $80k on a payout. I think McKinna has thrown all his eggs in the Merrick basket and thinks he can get us into the 6, which is what I reckon has been stated at the minimum requirement for next year. Merrick is McKinna preserving his own job rather than rebuilding the Jets as a club. But there were definitely worse coaches then Merrick being touted.

Your first line says plenty of great assistant coaches can't head coach

Yes that is true


But thing is he hasn't proven to even be good at it let alone be great

The players also don't need a familiar face
The coaches are not employed to be the players mates

They are employed to get them playing good

This bloke has overseen the demise of GVE Muppet and Jones and Millertime

When Trumpy and Putin nuke the planet all that will be left is Keith Richards a couple of cockroaches and Zane on the Jets bench as 2IC

Yeah thats why the most successful Managers have all the players hating them and wanting them out of the club.

Successful managers actually are respected they are not there too win a popularity contest

Ferguson was a **** at times but his players respected him

[MFKS]

Then he should know what not to do

Judging by his efforts with the Jets Yoof

No

He just a worse version of the prior managers

Merrick was born in Edinburgh to a circus family.

He will feel at home with the Jets.

Our Manager is a carnie and our CEO is a Gypo and our team is a joke

This shit gets better and better every day

[Jetmaster]

Sweep on what time the "Merrick Out" thread gets posted and by whom?

I tipped Member by 8.30am - missed it by that much!

[Couscous]

Ernie Merrick has been named as our new coach.

[Couscous]

Ridiculous. They didn't interview many of the candidates.

[Jetmaster]

Ridiculous. They didn't interview many of the candidates.

And how do you know that? Just because you didn't get on the shortlist?

[furns]

seeing as the coach has now been appointed, any further postings in this thread is purely unsubstantiated speculation.
Hence


it can be reopened at such a time it is needed
