‘It’s the truth’: compelling new WT doco

[earl]

Ultimately, even using the clubs loose metrics, its not great and JP does not deserve the praise he gets. He was in change with Ivan. He was in charge with the players purchased. He was in charge of Farrah Gate. He was in charge with the stadium debacle and add to all this, they players that have been lost under his watch.

I'm not a critic of the guy but that was a good post. Facts and data to back up a pretty reasonable point.

My subjective feeling is that our recruitment is improving a lot but wins on the field over the longer term matter.

 

[earl]

In their defense I’ll admit he looks like he’d run some kind of weird cult off a semi rural property.

This isn't as good an argument to sway me about the guy but it's funny.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Oh my god I can't believe people are so obsessed with pascoes wardrobe

Just because he's a CEO doesn't mean he should be in a suit the whole time. He was dressed fine, he just has a crap haircut lol. He's allowed to wear casual clothes when he's not at work


Its ridiculous isn't it - no pleasing the PC brigade. They will find fault in anything.

The saying goes "Don't judge a book by it's cover"

Not that you should judge anyone - but if you do, judge Pascoe on his achievements and his failures, not on what he is wearing or on his haircut.

Far as I can see his only failures were "The Farah Fiasco" and "Hiring the Traitor" - who new that would happen. Cleary sucked in 90%+ just on the Forum alone.

On the other hand, add all the achievements Pascoe has since he as been CEO and the scales say he is a big winner.

"Pascoe has to go" some say - get a life, start bagging the people NOT pulling their weight - you have plenty to choose from.

Well ok then next time I have an interview forget a shirt and tie do a Pascoe and wear a t-shirt for a doco filming.
Even if you can't play golf at least try and look like a golfer
Perception has a part to play regarding professionalism

The idea of that part of the doco was to film him at home, they actually asked him to wear what he would be wearing at home.

not a great idea or look either way

It was a rough pot shot about a blokes appearance. Apologies for that one.

Agree with the general consensus regarding Pascoe.

Used car salesman vibes. Very sleazy. Would prefer he’d be selling the match day programs than the club ethos.

What are we seeking choir boys or results? Pascoe gets results, Maguire doesn't. That is the bottom line.

List Pascoe's results for us please.

Aren't we one of the few Sydney based clubs in the black? We've a new COE on the way and our coaching and pathways staff have been augmented. I doubt if we could afford them without our better financial position.

Yep expressed this today and got hammered , also have thought the membership Dept has also improved, being Financal will be a huge factor in the not to distant future as the pressure mounts on clubs to financially survive independently.

The pressure will be on us to relocate because we are the NRL’s laughing stock. Managers don’t even let us know when we’ve been brushed for the wooden spooners.

No point having money if players don’t want a bar of you.

Pressure from whom? More Chicken Little stuff from you. Roosters are going to steal all our players and "unknown forces" are going to pressure Tigers to relocate.

The only way you get teams to relocate is incentivise, not pressure, and the NRL simply isn't going to be able to collapse any of the existing Sydney teams to make that happen. Teams would have to fold organically. NRL had their chance with Dragons and Tigers some years ago when they needed loans, could have leveraged that to relocate sides, did not. Since then they've been reasonably self-sustained, all of them. Even the maligned Sharks got their cash injection to continue to operate via the unit block developments.


Oh okay , we’re safe then. Let’s just continue to be crap.

Well let's not be crap, but yes we are safe from relocation.

Back in the late 90's a mate of mine trained a horse that was near enough favourite for the Melbourne Cup and the ABC ran a multi-part series following his preparation over a couple of months.

In the end the horse ran mid-field. He always regretted putting himself in the position where effectively he increased the pressure on himself and the stable.

Pretty sure the horse didn't care.

Funnily enough that's not quite true. He once famously had a dig at a stablehand for working too fast. He wanted calmness around the boxes in the stable and the horses responded in kind.

If you've ever been on a documentary set it is as far away from "calmness" as you can get. Lights, camera action etc.

He trained 36 Group One winners.
