Poll - who do you think should coach next year?

[spert]

Grant Thomas- at least the tail won't wag the dog

[perfectionist]

Serena Williams

[joffaboy]

Dermott Brereton, he seems to know everything, and wold get on well with Pelchan

[MCG-Unit]

Sarah Galbally - back to the Saints?

Pelchen?

I would have liked Alan Richardson, however Jaxons says Mark Williams will be coach, so there you go.

Grant Thomas- at least the tail won't wag the dog

We could do worse, and probably will

[Siposstar#2]

Ange postocoglou

[TJMcCarthy]

Grant Thomas with Robert Harvey his assistant.

[St Ick]

Tudor

[3rd generation saint]

As I see it, it is a two horse race Williams or Harvey.
Case for Harvey.
Club Legend
Would sell memberships
No great expectations for next year, so he would have time like Thomas to grow into the job.
Would instantly have respect of playing group.
Case Against
Untried coach
Would be terrible if it ended badly

Case for Williams
Experienced premiership coach
Apparently very good at developing young talent
Again like Harvey, would have time to develop list as expectations for 2014 not high.
Again, his appointment would initially sell memberships.

Case Against

Blight factor, may encourage too high expectations and be critical of club culture
Ended badly at Port Adelaide and could create a power struggle here.

[HitTheBoundary]

I would make Con coach.

We mightn't win, but the players would have big muscles.
That's gotta count for something.

Agree with Big Carl

And Pelchin would get found out for the blow hard he is.....

[satchmo]

Agree with Big Carl

And Pelchin would get found out for the blow hard he is.....

Let's hope that blow hards never get found out. I'd be worried about the two of you!

[Wayne42]

Angelos "Ange" Postecoglou

we already have Victory's fitness guy, we may as well have their recent coach

[BigMart]

Pelchin will be defended

Until he's gone..... Then everyone will turn on him..... He will be the biggest villain of all in 2015

I'm just going early.... So illegal hindsight isn't alleged?!

[Con Gorozidis]

Grant Thomas- at least the tail won't wag the dog

But he will insist the tail go to his house every night for a bbq and singalong.

[Con Gorozidis]

Fair to say Pelchen is going to deliver glory or death
Nothing in between.
Maybe he should have been sacked.
We will know in 3 years whether we have witnessed a genius or complete lunatic.

[bigcarl]

Agree with Big Carl

And Pelchin would get found out for the blow hard he is.....

Let's hope that blow hards never get found out. I'd be worried about the two of you!

In all seriousness, if the director of football has seniority over the coach then why not make him accountable for the club's results?

[BigMart]

Just judging on current

I'd go lunacy......

Can't manage a relationship with a guy he hired.....

[saint75]

Reading Tudor has a clause to be released from contract should a senior gig arise.

I'd have him for sure.

Finally, we agree on something. I think he would make an excellent coach.

[Rosco]

mitch thorp?

[Bowey Boy]

Williams mentoring Harves.

[satchmo]

Just judging on current

I'd go lunacy......

Can't manage a relationship with a guy he hired.....

but isn't he just an employee?!

[Bowey Boy]

Delta Goodrum?

[Enrico_Misso]

Why all the love for Williams?
He was an arrogant pr1ck at Port.
What has he done since?

Anyway Pelchen obviously now runs the club.
I assume he has already hand picked the next coach.
