Blue Balls Board

[supercoach]

Nothing much changes in Tigertown!!!!!!

After years of Sheens having a lock on the position, even if we sign a new coach the man is going to have to perform immediately otherwise the board is going to get sack happy after years of not being able to wield any kind of power over the current coach. If a guy like Brown comes in and we come in the bottom few, you can bet the board won't stand by him the same way they've stood by Sheens.

I'm afraid we'll go from overly patient with the coach to overly impatient on account of years of the board hearing fans spewing about accountability and being unwilling (or unable) to do anything about it.

Who will be sacking the Board?

I didn't say that? I said the board would get sack happy. I bumped this thread I wrote in 2012 to point out my various genius comments therein.

We haven't sacked a coach yet and I doubt we would in the future - we're far too cheap! In fact it is hard to remember Balmain or Western Suburbs sacking a coach. The Magpies amongst us might have that info. On the Balmain side I remember back to the Cranky Franky Stantion years. Bill Anderson was only there for one year but I don't remember him being sacked.

Maybe it just isn't in our collective culture to sack coaches…

Yes, it's a good point. From the Magpies pre JV, the club sacked Steve Ghosn and Laurie Frier …that was in the mid to late 80's .... I think the others all resigned. Holman, Masters, Fearnley, Bailey, Wok and Tommy.
So yes outright sackings few and far between ... However those that weren't could probably see the writing on the wall !

Bailey got punted for Ryan and then Ruan got shafted. Only the JV saved Tommy.
