Sheens made a HUGE mistake in treating Madge the cold and callous way he did and my respect for him has plummeted.

Madge apparently put Our Team through their normal training run and was then told he was no longer needed...go and clean your office out and goodbye.
How could any 'reasonable' person treat Madge like this after he has worked his butt off for Wests Tigers.

Sheens would obviously know what sort of psychological effect such a sudden departure would have on Madge after Sheens himself was sacked all those years ago. It would have to be similar to a death in the family, but it was decided to inflict this on Madge anyway.

Then to add to this...the official announcement from Wests Tigers to say that Madge had been 'terminated'...what sort of unfeeling morons run this shit show?
I reckon Madge would have shed blood sweat and tears in trying and get our mob to play like real men, but as a group they were just to frigging weak.
I'm feeling really pissed off and very sad for Madge.
If Our assistant coach leaves with Madge, I have a feeling Noddy is being groomed to take over next year as head coach and I'll be waiting with excitement not, to see how that turns out.
I was still wearing my Wests Tigers shirts and vests etc just last weekend with some pride.
I just feel totally embarrassed now.

I see it differently in that he's shown more respect by ripping the band aid off - unlike the gutless lot who conducted the review, at the end of last year. From his interview you could tell that, like us, he didn't want Madge to be subjected to one more minute of unfair media scrutiny.
 
We hired Madge as a "Premiership Winning" coach, now we need a "development" coach? What the hell is everyone in the pathways system doing if not developing players? If this was a known deficit of Madge's coaching, why not hire an assistant coach to specialize in development years ago.
If we hire a development coach, who is the Man Manager coach? The Motivational coach, the Coach that brings in the big names, the Tactician, the Strategist, the Roster Manager?
It is all just rubbish, sacking the coach is the easiest things to do and it puts the blame on one person. It just more of the usual dumbassery.

He explained that he couldn’t see Madge been the coach in 2 years time so what is the point in keeping him around. there is key recruitment and retention decision to be made between now and the so it’s better to have the coach who is going to be there for the future to make the decisions

So with such a ridiculous line of thinking from sheens does that mean the next coach signs a 3 year contract and if things arent working as planned after 1 year he'll have to be sacked as we dont see him being here in 3 years.
Or does sheens use the get out clause of we didnt expect anything in the 1st year anyway.

That’s ridiculous mate sheens clearly didn’t see Madge as the coach to get us to the next level so why keep him around? Doesn’t matter how sheens has worded it. he has made a decision and decided we need a new coach to bring us into the foreseeable future

What did Warriors say about Maguire?

Asked if Maguire is on his hit list, Robinson said: “No he’s not.

“I don’t really know Michael Maguire but he didn’t get results at the Wests Tigers, so we’re not going in that direction.

“He is also coaching New Zealand and I don’t want a coach who has his fingers in other interests like a national team.

“I’m not interested in that.

“It takes the focus off your own club, so I will be looking elsewhere.”

He's been in the same boat as Madge. Tim's been sacked a few times

Blake, my understanding of the term "Development Coach" is a Coach who has developed strong relationships with young players who are making a name for themselves. Barratt is a good example of a "Development Coach." If you were a "Development Coach" looking for a job around Sydney, where would you go?

Wouldn't Barrett be a really poor example of a development coach...
He's quit 2 clubs after going very poorly

Unfortunately our roster wasn't strong when Madge arrived and it just didn't work out. We went down the rebuild route but the club for whatever reason couldn't get big signings across. Going down the youth route is the best decision we made and while I feel bad for Madge and loved his passion and his drive atleast now he will get a chance to prove himself at another club. We start again and hopefully this time we get some success out of it.

Yeah for sure Tim sheens job at this club is getting the football team to win games if he thought Madge was the answer could see Madge getting this club to where it needs to be I’m sure Madge would still be here

Tim doesn’t seem to me to be the kind of bloke who makes decisions to please fans or the board he appears to make decision in the best Interest of winning football games

He has been around forever he’s in his 70ns he doesn’t have time to be playing kind games with people

I thought it was a coach that improved young players, helped them find their best position, told them what they needed to work on. It is pretty vague and has become a buzzword after Penrith's success.
Ivan Cleary hired a bunch of experienced players when he came to the Tigers and hardly set the world on fire.
