2012-13 NBN and NEW FM Rumours and player movements thread

[Youaskedforit]

I find that extrordinary pv4 and if as you say is true then sadly there are some real double standards existing at that club. As previously mentioned by me in this thread some of the comments directed to opposition players in the under 14's GF by parents was very distasteful and immature.

I was working at Finnan that day, and didnt hear much wrong to tell you the truth, but i could be wrong.

Wont it mean theyll inherit juniors ?

Yes it does. Im wondering whether the Fed may have some issues with this? It goes against what they are trying to build within the clubs.

Im assuming that these coaching/development positions are not voluntary, that is people are usually remunerated for their coaching and development roles.

But, somebody proposed that Tull and another committee member (possibly president)* be fired/stood down/relieved of duties. The motion was carried 95-5 or some ridiculously high count. Tull was seeking legal action and considered the vote/meeting was not constitutional. In the article it mentions the reason for this was that Foley had been stood down as U/15s coach/youth development role. Parents weren't happy and wanted Tull/President* (maybe) out, so attended meeting and voted. Tull made a comment in the article that he had actually given Foley the U/19s team to coach and that he would still be coaching at the club.
And yes, in the last paragraph of the article it mentioned Foley had been suspended for bringing the game into disrepute.


*I'm not 100% sure what title the other committee member held off the top of my head. But it was definitely Tull and another.
** All this information was paraphrased from an article in the Newcastle Herald.

Do we know why he was stood down as coach?

Also shows what happens clubs try to build a youth structure with people who are not committed to the club. I dont know if i would be comfortable to take my children from club to club because i believe that the strength of a junior club is a pathway to the first team whether my kids make it or not. Man in the UK you join a team for life!!! This is what builds passion and commitment for your football club. I just dont see this idea that we lift a team roots and all and transfer it to another club. Not a good club building exercise.

Hopefully I'm not breaking any rules in saying that the second bloke was Steve Wright, club secretary. I know Steve and he seems to me that he isn't one to back down quietly, so I don't think we've heard the last of it. It was only his first season with the Blues, having jumped from the Junior Jaffas end of last year.

But as someone else made the point, if you're on the committee you have to work for the constituents and if they don't feel like you're up to the jump, it's their right to vote you out.

Cant break rules if it is fact, or reported elsewhere...

from what I understand about it all, from rumours & past experience - anyone that's worked under foley know he's uniquely brilliant. he's not everyone's cup of tea, but his coaching ability is unquestionable. he obviously gains a bit of friction along with praise from different people wherever he goes.

from what I understand on this issue, I've been told he basically had a Kevin muscat/John kosmina sideline moment with a kid from another team, and people are creating a huge uproar about him facing up against a young teenager. what actually happened, I don't know, but I believe this push to get him out of the club was brought to a head after this incident.

from what I hear, the majority of his team will follow jim to wherever he goes - and with the level of coaching they get from
him at such a young age I'm not surprised. so I guess charly are looking a forcing a bloke out that will take a whole bunch of youth with him, and there's divided opinion on whether that should or shouldn't happen.

If you received a ban from attending matches say for two weeks imposed by your relevant FED/ASS, and you attended a match, you would be open to further bans wouldnt you? Some might even say that you may have your credentials taken from you for an extended period of time right? Interesting times.

No your quite right Yousaskedforit the vast majority during that game were excellent and i think both sets of parents appreciated and enjoyed the real battles those two teams went at each other with during the season and finals. Just the usual, a minority.

Been a while since i was out at those grounds and was really surprised at the improvement around the place, the Toronto club certainly put on a great and well organised day.

How come every club that Jim Foley has been too have got rid of him?
He has always has the best players to coach and anyone with any football idea would be able to win a comp with them.
I know he only lasted 3 weeks at Magic, he has his diciples that think he is god, they are brainwashed

With the Charlestown/Azzurri amalgamation, that'd make it 3 clubs rolled into 1, wouldn't it? (If true...)

I think he may be trying to be sarcastic re foley going there and taking the juniors with him
