Fantastic read.

Gives a much better insight than a few cliches spewed out at a presser....

And certainly gives the impression of a great attitude from the club. I really hope that by Round 1, 2012, both the playing group and the supporters can share that same attitude, rather than the carry on we've dealt with on here recently.

A couple of idiots on this site were saying that Burkey wasn't too intelligent... :roll: :roll: :roll:

Interesting article from Holmesby...

Confirms Ross told the club he'd accept the deal the day before he jumped ship,and was ready to announce it at a press conference the next day.....

How can people say Lyin did nothing wrong here?

Two refreshing views, explaining a lot of what happened over the last 2 weeks. Many thanks for posting the links.

Like this in the R. Holmesby piece....
One highly-respected figure said : "He's better off out of the place. At least we won't have a culture of fear operating now.
And we won't have to replace four assistant coaches that he burns off every year."

Well done Mcadam 05 !

Great background articles, especially the Russell Holmesby one. It gives a good and honest account of what has occured.

Rather than copy excerpts that interest me, take the time to read the entire articles yourself.

As for Lyon, he said early in his career that coaching didn't define him.
But the events of the past few days have probably done just that.

Both terrific insights devoid of cliche and (apparently) a fair reflection of reality.

WTF are they doing on here??

"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'
