I’ve long been a Cleary fan and if this scenario didn’t play out would have liked him to stay long term. It’s simply untenable under any circumstances. He has gone behind the board, CEO and GMs back. Trust is broken blind Freddy could see he has to be moved on.
I was a Cleary fan too, but I can see he can not coach here in 2019 under any cicumstances, so we need a coach for 2019, so we tell Bennett to come in 2019 or we sign Maguire who will, who knows what could happen next year if bennett stays at the Bronco's, we need a coach now.
If we sign Madge, Bennett might not have an options in 2020, and that might force his hand a bit.
I mentioned this the other day, but people said Bennett will never be short of options, I am not so sure. I think Pascoe is doing what you say, more or less telling Wayne you are our first choice, but you need to come now, or we will be forced to sign Maguire.
Well that is my guess anyway
