New coach - now we know

[Jimmy]

You seem certain,

Because I am.

Unless a certain individual, does a 180 or a backflip on his decision making. Benny will not get the job. I'll be incredibly amazed if they do.

And if the person calling the shots is acting like this. Maybe it's best for him, and his career to not come up here.

Last I heard 2-3 days ago he was not on the short-list.

What the f**k is going on?

 

[shipwreck]

I'm assuming you're referring to Peil as the one calling the shots?


This dude already failed tremendously with the appointment of Wilkshire whom he was chirping on as the ultimate vision of long term success for the club... He lasted a few months.


Then I remember him chirping on about how of all the new recruits he was most impressed with Kelechi John, probs because he could bench the most.... Also lasted a few months.

Honestly hope he isn't the final say

Less than 2 years to go on his lease.

What makes you believe he wouldn’t have the final say?

Hope he doesn't. Never said I don't believe he does.

Just watched Abbas interviewed by Malaysian media.... he is miles away from where he needs to be.

It was a very weird presser getting asked questions in broken English. I thought Abbas was fine.
A few questions will be answered tonight though.

He will make the final decision. MC has delegated the running of the Club to him for the duration of his lease.
He will have a selection committee, but he will either agree with their recommendations or not.
He has the absolute power of an owner.

So if Jimmy is right and the club are playing f**kwits......Abbas and Cahn are not it......who the hell is going to improve us?

I would be more inclined to make my decision based on what he does on the park rather than what happens in an interview. It’s probably his first gig at fronting at this level. A lot different to the NPL conferences or chatting to les Murray or Andy p after an NSL game.

Lots of good managers have been crap at media and lots of good players of the media have been crap managers.

Some owners will leave the running of a club to their appointed CEOs and managers. Others will micromanage.

We all know which one we currently have. Monty and Serg were strong enough personalities to deflect this. The next gaffer will have to be equally as strong.

. Rich has the option of endorsing a decision or making a decision ... big difference

. but, he may also be influencing a decision ... and that is possibly the most dangerous because it is less transparent

. i don't think it is as simple as strength of personality ... Rich trusted Monty completely

. nobody else is going to be given the same level of control

You are probably right about this

 

[style_cafe]

You are always the innovator Stu

I would like to see the winner of the member badge draw get to train the team and run the match day squad.

Bonus if you win on an AFC week.

Or we could do a guest coach arrangement like the NSL did with players. Bobby Charlton and Kevin Keegan at Blacktown back in the day. We could get hiddink or mourinho for a few games ????

or Peter Beardsley who also had fond memories of his time at Blacktown when I spoke to him years ago...

Nope, I am not reffering to Peil.

Unless he is acting through this other person, and I don't mean Shaun.

I assumed you meant the tall guy tbh...?

A lot can be said about a person in charge by the exodus of those beneath them.

It’s not looking great.
