Gubby Allen to the Saints (Rumor)

[SaintWodonga]

Someone said it was mentioned on the footy show tonight (I didnt see it), would he be any good at the club? What would he bring?

[freely]

With him and Lethlean - what, are we running some sort of AFL rehab unit?

[satchmo]

Where's the disco????

[BenLong#21]

Jesus Christ.

Just when you think we had hit the bottom.
We find a new bottom.

[silverhalo]

Can he kick??

[HitTheBoundary]

Can he kick??

No.

[Jacks Back]

Can he kick??

No.

LOL

[st.byron]

Can he kick??

No.

Thanks for posting. Going to the footy was a different beast back then. Much more raw and non-commercialised. Much more of a people’s game without all the marketing crap.

[SaintPav]

I remember this.

Love it.

[degruch]

What would he bring?

Shifty dealings?

He's well connected to the top end of town and his network I'm assuming is significant. A little extra gravitas could be helpful in supporting recruitment and player welfare which might help get the odd negotiation to swing in our favour.

How does that saying go...it's not who you know.

This is the guy who was hiding Whitfield away from drug testers?

You'd have thought the bombers would be all over him?

[saynta]

I think they have left the "r " out of his nickname.

[iwantmeseats]

Any other disgraced officials available? Reel em in.
May as well get the disco going again too

[Linton Lodger]

Can he kick??

No.

I remember the fallout from that.

Would you believe he was utterly crucified for committing a cardinal sin, kicking the ball across goal in defence! Different times.

From Tony Sheahan:

"for all you @stkildafc supporters, we’re reliably told Gubby Allan has agreed to join the club in an executive role.
He is currently consulting to the @NMFCOfficial football club
Big score for Saints "

Well connected to the high end of town which hopefully translates into improving professionalism and gravitas.

Hold the nerve.

Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

Continuous improvement culture

List enhancement

Coaching rejuvenation

Sorry. Can't be true. We have not hired anyone with actual "footy smarts" as an official since I do not know when.

Fanboys, cricket guys, and salesmen from banks and the like that learn the job are more what the Saints hire.

PS: Gubby is the type of person we need.

[Scollop]

Less get's Ross Lyon and have a trifecta of snakes

No f*** it...why not go for the Quaddie and get Ricky Nixon back

In all seriousness Gubby would be a good get for the club

[BackFromUSA]

what role?

[minneapolis]

Someone who knows a lot about football and has done it already at two clubs.

I am for it.

No.

Brilliant

[HitTheBoundary]

Whatever happened to all the Football Manager talk re a Neil Balme type role?

Any new appointments or is it just steady as she goes?

i.e. the Titanic.
