Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Just saying you should stop telling the club what to do if you haven't put any thought on what happens next.

Ok sack Fulton then what, what does that do to recruitment.

Blowing the joint up isn't really a great plan.

We've gone through Macca three or four times, that pubescent high school teacher, hartigan, Kelly and countless others.

Perhaps benji can focus on coaching and take a back seat on recruitment

I haven't told the club what to do mate, that is what the review they commissioned is for. We did request a review be conducted but I didn't conduct it.

Despite them conceding at the start of last year that they didin't know if he could coach.

Did they? I know a few of us on here said it but if they did then that is insane.

Justin Pascoe said it in an interview before the round 1 game.

haha thats just crazy.
How much are they paying him?

He’s foregone this years salary. In return the club have commissioned SCG ground staff to redo his forehead.

I feel if we punt Fulton we are going to have a very upset couple of new signings in the Fainu brothers.

I know players don't sign for recruitment managers, but given their strong relationship they would obviously not be thrilled with his treatment - warranted or not.

Then there's the grubby player managers who would also dislike us more.

If there really is a problem, someone needs to mediate and find a way forward.

 

[skywalker]

Can’t be much. Not too many clubs in any sport who are backed by a millionaire are perennial cellar dwellers.

I seem to remember a number of years ago he was interviewed and he said he offered to pay 3rd party money to any 4 players wanted by the club and nobody got back to him.

Man just landed on the moon too

For those talking about Lucas Neill going bankrupt...

16% of retired NFL players go bankrupt, Fortune.com). A Sports Illustrated article reports that 78% of NFL players and 60% of NBA players face serious financial hardships after retirement.

They're on good coin as well

Today's the day! It's the 8th!
Mistanon promised that today we will hear the big announcement re Luai.
What will happen? Will Mistanon be vindicated or will we be teased with a new date like his brother Qanon is famous for.
Only the sands through the hourglass will provide the answer.

Feels like they outbid themselves.

Wasn't it something like

.....Sands through the hourglass so are the days of our lives

 

[jrtiger]

So we finally have an ounce of respect from player managers and from a recruitment perspective, an element we have been weak in forever, and the club make moves that will remove the newly appointed recruitment manager.

I do believe if Lee goes fulton goes, which will set the club back for another decade.

your idolisation of Fulton is pathetic, to the point where you believe that an external review after two straight spoons could somehow be a bad thing.

yes Fulton has relationships with managers and players, but so does every other recruitment manager in the game. wake up.

 

[Odessa]

Haha My God, that’s even worse. Could you imagine the Storm, when Bellamy’s time is up replacing him with someone who they concede don’t know if they can coach? People wonder why we are where are.

I think Melbourne would go Billy Slater or an old Bellamy boy some who understands Melbourne football

He’s already moved the goal posts to the 12th.

Nice words, but does not address years of weak recruitment at tiger land.

You also make up that I've met Fulton. Who does that.

Take your own advice clown.

Very Qanon approved procedure.

Detroit Lions in the NFL - their losing streak goes back nearly 70 years.
