....
What people are neglecting is the club seriously dropped its football standards- players had checked out
Lyon won’t cop that
....
I think we are also not cognizant of the circumstance and momentum Ratts has to deal with. The 'new' movement, of sympathy, empathy, inclusivity, diversity matched with the new corporate jingo that defines compartmentalism, containerization, metrical point marking, turning circles into squares, scores, metrics, targets, sections, PPA's (private professional advancement achieved by aggregating defined and tangible and printable, presentable (on a PowerPoint) achievements ...i.e. 'I re-signed three players worth an aggregate of 1.3 million' which aligned with the new sponsors re-siging '$13.600' worth of commitments (provided we play in Lord Howe Island) ...
Ratts was on a hiding to nothing.
Now Lethlean knows all this. He is a brute as is Bassat. And fair enough.
we hired Lyon with no process, then Goddard and co. ...just a bunch of mates..like Hanners, but unlike Hanners in that they care.
No diss on Hanners BTW, or his manager. Enjoy the lobster!
Lots of words (impressive)
Ratten had 3 years
We were going backwards
He decided the who his lieutenants were
He decided game plan
He would have had some say over player recruitment
I think most acknowledged he dropped the ball
Lyon recruiting his mates ….most do in senior gigs…if you’re carrying the van and it’s your head on the block that’s fair enough…you want people you trust
If it goes t!ts up its Lyon who wears that ultimately
Ratts 3 year results where much better than Lyons last 4 years in the bottom 4. Let's hope he can succeed this time around at a rebuild becaue as we know the industry has a big question mark over his greatest weakness.
I love him though, lots.
So you’re saying we shoulda kept Brett??????
Those splinters must be painful….
Me, I'm staying neutral. at least for the time being.
Hello ….here’s Vorts stude fish out from under a rock “staying neutral”…lol
How pathetic…
But you’ll be lining up for back slapping if Lyon and the club come good won’t ya???
Genuine fair weather supporter you are…
You might even get a sleep over at Vorts if you play your cards right….
