I am more and more convinced we will not get a marquée... we might get a pretend marquee ( a Kokko kind of marquee)... there was never a South American in the picture (keep in mind we prob have better health care here than Brazil) ..... Mr Lee never said there was money available..... and once again they selling us a dream...... cynical? Yeah can't help it... don't trust the gypo CEO

Yep and as always about the time auto renewals take place or people have the opportunity to advise the club of opting out.

I think you are confusing jobs for the boys with getting the cheapest available person for the job.

Not spending enough coin is the issue - saying it's about Jobs for the boys is simply ridiculous unless Jones was getting paid top dollar for his appointment - which it's pretty obvious he wasn't - as they would not have been so eager to punt him at the end of the season.

Merrick got the nod here because he's out of favour as a coach and would have signed up for not a lot of coin. It was never about him being the best man for the job - His failure to get Wellington anywhere when they spent as much as Sydney and Melbourne - pretty much stamped him as not able to cut it anymore at this level. Nobody else wanted him, he was available cheap - Jets signed him. Game Over.

I also think with higher priced coaches comes higher priced demands. Things like coaches wanting to bring their own staff with them, demanding budget of a certain amount to get certain players, etc. There's lots of factors that would go into it. I think one of the big reasons Merrick was brought on was it seems like he has been happy to come in on his own and work with the existing setup for the most part.

tl;dr - Deans out

Y'all saw the word 'if' in that article right?

That should be enough to answer all your questions.
