Its now offical

Post: # 1139444Post plugger66 »

Ross Lyon was a great coach yesterday but now is all of a sudden a bad coach. Luke Ball was the same. Why cant we admit he was a great coach who has let us. We have no idea of what he was offerred by either parties and unlike us he isnt emotional bound to us. Get over it and we will hopefully get an even better coach but to suggest crap like he wasnt trying becuase he was leaving is just that, crap.

Just like others who said he is staying because players were being delisted. that was crap as well.

I agree with you plugger66.

Ross Lyon IS a great coach.

That is why I am upset. OK, we might find someone even better. That would be fantastic.

But we had someone pretty damn good who has now left.

plugger its the way people deal with the shock ... not everyone can calmly accept the recent events ... i think all of us know Ross is a great coach but it hurts to know hes left us for freo ... how bout we cut people a bit of slack while dealing with this ???

Watch Freo kick butt! :lol: Why wouldn't it happen to us? Why did he decide to retire players when he wasn't staying? Odd.

But we'll live and move on. We've got to.

Agree legendary Ross is a great coach and has left the saints high and dry, with several other clubs looking for coaches with weeks of a head start this really hurts the saints.

He screwed St Kilda simply because he had a contract which he did not fulfill.

Wtf are contacts there for fs?

If we sacked him with a year to go on his contract, we would have to pay him out. What recourse/insurance does the club have when it's the other way around then. Ziltch.

he lied to the players, the club and the fans, kept a facade going for over six weeks.

Yes a very good coach, but probably isn't confident that he could re-buld a team...

Disagree. Great coaches win premierships. He had 3 chances and fluffed all of them! Good riddance Drossy, please take the deadwood you bought in with you!

This is hilarious. Yep he cant coach but how come he could yesterday. Abuse him for leaving but he could coach. Allan Jeans said he doubted anyone could coach our list nto a GF. He did it twice. Anyway lets see how bad the public think he is as a coach when Freo start about 4th favourite for next years flag.

The most funny thing out of this is people actually think he should think emotionally about the decision. It is a business decision. He sees them as a better chance to win a flag and maybe he was even offerred many more dollars. Who knows apart from.

Now lets just get on with appointing another coach who will hopefully set us up for our second flag in 6-8 years time because lets face it, itwasnt happening under RL in the next few years.

plugger,

I think most of what is going on is about Ross Lyon- The Man, which right now is very different to Ross Lyon-The Coach !!


NEW scarf signature (hopefully with correct spelling) will be here as soon as it arrives !!
