    If Arnie takes up the SFC job it will finish him in this country - firstly, it is the poison chalice. The best local coaches - Branko, Farina, Kossie, Crooky have all been turned into basketcases at Sydney. Success came from foreign coaches.

    Add to that, ADP will have some sort of influence whether it be on the coaching staff or not.

    It is a cultural thing - Arnie won't take shit from anyone and that in itself would put doubts on his future if they have one of their bad patches.

    I think they'd have gone regardless.

    So, we haven't actually been looking at other coaches have we?
    Apart from that bloke in Malaysia who no one had ever heard of before (and he already rejected us).

    Edit: Grimario beat me to it

    JG (not Lord griff) is saying the mail was that there were THREE experienced coaching staff interviewed as well as Zane. Assuming that means Arnold and Stewart, both who have rejected us then we only have one option. Or does it leave two options since Stewart didn't get interviewed?

    Hope it was Okon and Papas as the other two...

    Really?

    Karl Dodd was only brought in last season. I thought part of the reason he was signed in the first place was his connection to Middleby through Fury.
    Catlin was brought in the season before that as well iirc. Was he really that bad, and who judged him to be so?
    Deans had been earmarked as the next head coach by the club after Gary took over. The players loved him and he had worked with the club for a long time. Again, why the sudden change in attitude towards him?


    Most important question now is - who are we bringing in to replace these people? I highly doubt the club has even considered anyone other than Arnold's boys.

    Yeah, I do think that they'd have still gone. Timing wasn't great and lead to presumptions about bringing in Arnie - i'll give you that. We've been stagnant for a long time so let's clear the decks.

    If I was the club, I'd have tied all of their contracts to finish with Gary's, who also had his contract up at the end of the season. That way if we parted ways, as we have, the deck is clear for the new coach to assemble their own team.

    Sometimes hard decisions have to be made and whether the players liked him or not, if he's part of why they aren't delivering on their targets or goals set then he should go.

    The club openly said our goal is to make the Top 6. The employees they assigned to achieve that failed. Goal set, goal not met.
