What was wrong with what Ross Lyon did?

A lot of Pot,Kettle, Black in what you write
actually
Your dead right Joffa
You've got me in one...
desperate for people like you to recognise me....not sure exactly how thats going to happen...but its what I 'crave' i suppose
maybe we need an AB Medal style awards night....or renumeration....or a big statues erected to demonstrate this recognition of whatever ever it is we are recognising.....
Peoples opinions on the footy team they support.....
If I were to achieve one of these such honours...it might just cap off my life....not much to strive for after that...

Ross Lyon is the devil.
The club did not dither at all when it needed to act and be decisive, and it in no way contributed to the obvious bad blood that lead to the 'stuff them' act at the very last. They just accepted it and didn't make a big public - or legal - noise about him walking out because they have class.
Anyway, it seems most everyone has decided he did us a favour by leaving because we need a fresh approach and he could take us no further... but those same people refuse to consider that maybe Lyon saw this too.
It's usually boards and clubs who sack coaches in messy and unsavoury circumstances, this one just decided to sack them.
I hope our new coach is better, but I think better coaches than Lyon are very hard to come by.

I believe you are right JB. I've only heard smatterings - i.e. that there were lies and deception over Pelchen's appointment and that Nettlefold, after obtaining Lyon's agreement to a deal on the Wednesday, made subtle changes to the agreed contract in a final act of duplicity which infuriated Ross and was the last straw.joffaboy wrote:If the Admin and one member of it had acted with integrity instead of what happened Lyon may have stayed.
He was treated very shabbily and backstabbed by a member of their sainted Admin.
... Lyons hand was forced. Paul Roos alluded to the reason and all you Admin apologists would have very red faces if and when the truth about the duplicity comes out.
I'm just wondering how long it will take for the truth to come out because frankly it's a disgrace that our admin has managed to come out of all this looking lily white by making Ross look like the evil, duplicitous one.

Were these changes unfair to Lyon?
Were these changes fair to St Kilda?
Will we ever know?
I don't really care.
All I know is that Ross seems to be happy in Freo and I'm happy Ross is in Freo.
Go Saints!!!!!

Having said that, I think it is good he is gone. Watters looks like a fresh start and is making long term changes.

Ross Lyon is a good coach, no question. My main gripe with his stint was the infuriating team selection, particularly in the Grand Finals. What on earth was he thinking picking blokes like McQualter and Eddy.
Couple this with his bizarre use of Luke Ball in the 09' GF and subsequent loss of said player to the Filth for zilch. RL was very close to being a back to back premiership coach for St Kilda.
Having said that I hope the Purple Haze ruin the prick!

legally what ross did was not wrong... he didnt break any rules in contract etc...
but.
1. the state he left our club in.. older list with no kids coming through (macca got through because there was no one else, steven just got slotted in the right time and place) and now has gone to a club in a position we were in when he took us over. (star players but real bad year with injury etc.)
2. he had known for a while he was leaving(you dont just leave your job on the spot, you let your employer know, a chance to match or come close to the offer) or to the very least give us a chance to pick up the cream of the crop in coaches... not wait till every other club has a coach then lie.. then leave
3. The fact he was involved with what happened with harvey
4. the slippery prick has come to live in my state.... seriously i have to see his face or hear an article about him most days... on the news, in the paper. and once season begins itll get worse
also did he ever thank the club for dropping the contract? after all they couldve put the dockers right behind every team in the afl until december???
