Our board is a pathetic, sniveling, spineless organization
I really don't need to say anymore apart from the fact that Nettlefold is a bumbling idiot and Westaway has the passion and presence of a cabbage. Practically thanked Lyon for leaving us in a heap and then some.
We are in for a long long haul folks ......

We are on the market for a good coach. How do you think the candidate would feel about a club they are going to for an interview bagging out another coach or trying to sue him?
Better the club says nothing, thanks him for his time and gets on with the job. Its for us and other to vent our disgust at Ross Lying....

They instill zero confidence in me.
Nettelfold on FC looked like a dead duck.

It is like losing a girlfriend - you knew it was over and it is for the best.
She's now got a new bloke, he has a bigger more expensive car and will probably be more successful than you ever will be.
Only yesterday she said she would never leave but she has. Your relationship was built on a falsehood. You had tried to satisfy her but were afraid of commitment. She wanted too much and you were not sure...and for good reason...but for this she has gone.
She will never look back, just ask her...but in her heart a little piece will remain..wondering about what was lost...and the rest is up to you.

We have had enough negative publicity this year. I think the board are sending the message that the club is more important than the individual and doing it in a quiet but professional way. We certainly don't need to give the media any more to 'feed' on!

Re: Our board is a pathetic, sniveling, spineless organizati
Who is the one snivelling? How do you think another GT/Butterss type situation was going to help the situation? Lyon would have had a field day with his press conference had St Kilda gone to town on him. He watched it closely to see their reaction. He mentioned that during his press conference.Linton Street Saint wrote:I really don't need to say anymore apart from the fact that Nettlefold is a bumbling idiot and Westaway has the passion and presence of a cabbage.

Sometime saying nothing publicly is much better than snivelling like a baby. THAT is more damaging to your brand.
The board handled themselves perfectly.
Fortius Quo Fidelius
the lowlife was Lyon not even having the guts to call "his" players
together for one last goodbye/explanation !!!!!!!!!
The board was preparing for a press conference after receiving his
acceptance of a new contract late yest. via a TXT message only to
learn at his arrival at the club he was now wanting "OUT"
the club did persist with neg. until informed by Lyon he didn't want
to discuss his contract until seasons end. Their first approach was late
may when we were 1-8.
How much can a board do??
was so proud of their professionalism today.....made freo & lyon look
like 'pathetic' low lifes,

My old friend
You can be classy and professional without being pathetic and soft.
Articulating a view that conveyed a sense of betrayal given he'd got his now former mgmt team to negotiate a deal would be appropriate.
From what has been said 4 years and an unconditional contract had been agreed by both parties 3 weeks ago. Minor details is all that held it up.
A strong club would never act like they were suffering from Stockholm syndrome.
And given Ross made comments at the presser about the process our response should to factually present a timeline of negotiations to debunk his pathetic defense.
Let me be clear, I do not begrudge him leaving for that kind of coin, but I do take issue with the way in which he did it.
Also for the record, his list management and recruiting over the time has been very poor. Will review it on a new thread another time.
And one more thing, can the media stop saying he got us to three GF's - he did not, we made two, one of which was replayed due to a draw. Good effort, but as Seinfeld said, coming second makes us the first loser but still a loser.
The board has leant too far over and must show some passion and anger. Otherwise there will be ramifications for all of them.

Just looking forward to us having a real crack each week, and appreciating the younger talent coming through.

If this is correct then that is an absolute disgrace
