Cinco estrellas.
I really think it makes sense to choose a captain who can watch his team from the stands. It's by far the best vantage point.
Best idea i've heard in agesOriginally Posted by Gary Fish
It does...especially if clubs policy is to shaft their captains
I hope he likes prison food.......and penis
Make Deans captain then.
Zelic
Okon
North
Thompson
Bridges
Wheelhouse
Again, how was Jobe shafted? Not one person has been able to answer this question.
And how was North and Bridges shafted? Bridges is still here… North pissed off to S Korea didn't he?
The captains curse is more that they all piss off after becoming captain, not that they were all necessarily shafted.
As for jobe, I don't have a problem with them not re-signing him, its this pathetic way of going about it, its all this smoke and mirrors BS.
The bloke has been playing for our club for 10 years, is the current captain, he deserved to be treated with respect, something HSG, Middleby & GVE completely lack for any of the playing squad that was not express posted from either the Fury or the AIS.
What I'd really like to know is how long until we are out of this "rebuilding Phase", how long is long enough for GVE to have "his" squad, 2yrs, 4yrs, 10yrs. When exactly should we be allowed to start asking questions about how effective this coach is, his system if it even exists,his man management, his success. For a bloke who claims there is "no room for sentiment" in sport is laughable considering the epic wave of it that got him over the line with the dunce that is Middleby and HSG.
My comment about Jobe being shafted was in response to Seldom's comment, not so much Gary's.
And again, all you've done is have a go at the way "the club went about it"… WHAT EXACTLY DID THEY DO THAT YOU DON'T LIKE??
As far as I'm concerned, they told a player he wasn't needed next season. Did you want them to lie to him? Doesn't matter whether he's been here 5 minutes or 10 years - if the coach deems him unsuitable for the future, then he finishes up. It's exactly how contracts work, in ANY profession. Wheelhouse should be grateful that he got such long notice to look at other options.
I'm only seeing vague responses about a lack of respect from the club with nothing concrete. What about Jobe's lack of respect? I don't need to speculate - he admitted to not having his head or heart in it for 6-12 months, LONG BEFORE the contract talks were started/stalled/dodged whatever etc… But he didn't walk away and do the "right" thing for the club or his teammates… he played on, picked up his paycheck AND wore the captain's armband.
Ryu must be nervous as he looks odds on to be handed the poisonous chalice
Zads will be staring down the barrell big time.
Not only will he have the boys from Topors Troopers trying to put their kiss of death touch on him but will also have to handle this captains curse policy we have.
Bloke will be off to WSW before the next game
You forgot to add "AND was considered by many to be one of our best and most consistent players during that time".
Until pv4 analyses his distribution rate we will never know
MFKS already has apparently. Worst player ever or some such shit.
Ahem, let's try and stay on topic here...
Jesic, great player, tore it up in pre-season, been on fire for the youth league. The next Sam Gallaway if you ask me.
Can someone explain to me why jesic is so shit now? he used to be good, I must have missed something
Not being a smart arse Pico but can you enlighten me where the club "lied" in the media about Jobes status.?? Because I must have missed it
Most times I see anything to do with contracts and the Jets the cliche "Newcastle Jets refuse to comment on transfer negotiations etc" or something to that effect is used.
I recall them (GVE??) saying something about not pushing Jobe out of the club to Melbourne Heart when the intitial offer came through for him.
I don't ever recall them saying we are retaining Jobe or anything positive about renewing jobes contract like they have with Zads.
I am a little confused as to where they have lied to the player/fans in this case. Can you enlighten me what I have missed in this saga that shows them lying??
