Archie Fraser seems to remain a strong supporter of Lyon: not much choice I guess as he was the true "genius" behind GT's sacking, not Butterss IMO (although Butterss was happy to go along with it for his own reasons once Fraser got the ball well and truly rolling).
I reckon Lyon is cactus barring a dramatic turn around in the next few weeks. I reckon that, if the Board decides that it wants to get rid of him, they shouldn't let him see out the season.
If we lose the next 3 or 4 and are clearly out of the running for the finals, why would the Board allow him to stay on as a lame duck and just dig us into a bigger and bigger hole? We will need to engender a sense of optimism at the place as soon as possible if we want to avoid losing our stars to other clubs. And I'd like to see Harves and Fraser finish their careers on something other than a total bummer.
Who do we bring in? The guy who we should have promoted when we sacked GT: Bundy. When you sack your coach suddenly and in acrimonious circumstances, and you can't get a proven performer from elsewhere, the only logical thing to do is to promote the 2IC. It worked ok at Sydney and the Crows, didn't it?
And it surely isn't too late for us to turn the clock back. The likes of Aussie and Cripps might make good assistants, and we should hang on to Silvagni if he wants to stay.
I know few on here will agree with me, but I still reckon I'm right.
well let us all go back to the future I noticed that B4E had a go at you for this post I am with him
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
, unless you are related to one or all of the group of Bundy, GT & Cripps, which I suggest that you must be
![Embarassed :oops:](./images/smilies/icon_redface.gif)
then bringing 1, 2 or all 3 of them back would be just the same as bringing back GT himself
Do we want to go back to trading our 1st round picks for the Brooks n Watts of the world, or taking Raph as a 1st round pick which is exactly what this group did to us, noy to talk about Penny and Sammy 5 year contracts, McGough
Lyon is paying for a lot of years of bad, no shocking decisions during the GT years and a lost chance in 2004
Get behind Lyon and get off your relatives barrow, they had thier chance and Blew it.....big time Blew it and you know that to be true
