You would hope so on both counts, but I don't think that we are that smart! We have a Board Member who would have a few clues on Contracts - Jack Rush - QCI wouldn't be at all surprised if it was all (at least unofficially) agreed to before watters was given the news.
I just hope netters isn't handling the contract negotiations.

Tony Abbott is already senior coach in an organisation that is even more of an embarrassment than St Kilda FC, and Peter Costello was sacked from that role years ago...stinger wrote:White Winmar wrote:Laurel and Hardy?Joey wrote:Does anyone know who the other 2 to be interviewed are?

Re: Shortlist of 2 for new coach by Wednesday
Id say Williams is preferred but having just been through a large a tender process myself it is surprising what does come up in evaluations and interviews...
We had a preferred candidate at the start and they ended up getting it in the end- but id say sometimes views are changed in the process.
If Williams interviews poorly or someone flags some risks on him - he wont get the job.
If he interviews well - he will get it.
I dont agree with the conspiracy theorists.

Who are the other two getting interviews?
Any ideas? Just says both Assistants at other clubs?
Richardson and Burns? Tudor?

Re: Shortlist of 2 for new coach by Wednesday
Sunday's paper said Choco wanted $600K+ to take on the coaching role at the AFL misfits, i wonder if he gets it.saintmont wrote:Hi, How much do you think choco would get $ wise, and if his price is to high what would be the next option?
McPhee and Kingsley would only cost half that, especially in their first year in the job.
Six debutants for the Saints so far in Season 2024. ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

And they would provide the club with more excuses. Get Choco and at least the excuse of the coach having no experience is gone.

$600K sounds about right for Choco. It sounds like we were paying Watters around $500K !!bobmurray wrote:Sunday's paper said Choco wanted $600K+ to take on the coaching role at the AFL misfits, i wonder if he gets it.saintmont wrote:Hi, How much do you think choco would get $ wise, and if his price is to high what would be the next option?

Re: Shortlist of 2 for new coach by Wednesday
Does any one else think the club should just announce the coach and stop this charade? The longer the interview process goes the worse it looks IMO...
