Careful not to let the facts get in the way of a popular footy myth.
Where's the myth there Rodge?
The facts on that matter, are that every player was metaphorically pushed out the door, and needed to convince the club that they should come back in.
Not vice versa.
It's actually the correct stance that should be taken by every club, every year. Regardless of who the player is.
The heat that GT copped over that was wrong.
His wording could have been better for the morons out there who hang on that sort of thing, but the actual stance was completely correct.
You do not want to beg guys to stay at the club. They need to convince the club they want to and should be there.
Surely you re-read that before posting... You honestly believe that every player has to earn thier stripes every year or their out the door... And particularly Harvs...Metaphorically... Come on....
Harvs clearly doesnt play favourites, and keeps quite on all political things with the saints, but his reference to Grant as 'just a past coach' when talking about GT and Derm comments earlier this year puts GT in his place...
Your faith is blind Rodge... GT has made alot of mistakes since his sacking.. Since... His tenure is an argument for another day...
A couple of things....
Absolutely everyone needs to convince the club they want to be there.
Absolutely, categorically.
It's not so much 'earning your stripes'. It's more a case of the player convincing the club, as opposed to the club needing to convince the player.
A player like Harves, at that time, absolutely needed to convince the club that he really wanted to go on for another year. I highly doubt the club would have needed much convincing, however I'd far prefer that he be the one wanting 'in', as opposed to the club begging him to play on.
Secondly, I have no faith. I couldn't care less about GT - he's gone. Has been for years. Why people, 2 years on, are still going on about him is just amazing.
However when people trot out incorrect footy myths, I like to pull them up on them.
And I'll continue to do so.
