How long has Taylor got

[goldcoast_tiger]

I have serious doubts that he has the game plans to make a good first grade coach. We have gone backwards under him this season. The last two seasons with Potter you always saw improvement in the young players, I struggle to think apart from Teddy of any player that has improved this year.

I watch them play and they seem to have no attacking game plan at all apart from the same second man play and 5 hit ups and a bomb. Personally I think the board should admit now that they picked the wrong coach and sack him rather than put up with another two years of this.

If we are struggling and showing no signs of improvement by mid season next year the knives will be out for him big time. The board has backed him in getting rid of Robbie and things don't improve the board will be feeling the heat and dumping JT will be a very easy decision.

I doubt by the end of next year he will be our coach and good riddance.

The thing that really amazes me most, is that they throw so much money at a few juniors that may or may not kick on( I know there's two very different possibilities for that result) but put them in the hands of a toy coach to make or break them.
If they have as much confidence,in them, they should have done anything necessary including asking HT to help out in getting at least a reasonable coach in( money spent on a coach isn't in the cap.
If Harry is as interested in the club as he says, surely he would've helped to make sure that these kids get the best chance of making it. Especially if he was thinking of buying the club.
And it's in his interest to give them the best chance they can get. It just doesn't seem logical to go the way they did
I'm not having a shot at HT.
Just amazed that they didn't talk to him about it

I'll be surprised if he is sacked. I really don't think we have the cash to pay him out.

With what has transpired this week Taylor will be under he pump from the first trail … The pressure is well and truly on him and him alone .This is an all in decision for his career no turning back now this is going to bring out his best or he will be gone mid season.

Is this a fact? The cricket bit, or just rumour?

It's one of the only 'facts' on here that can be substantiated.
Was escorted out of the SCG for unruly behaviour - him and some other players said to have peed in cups and thrown them over people during a mexican wave.

Said to have? Was he charged with that offense? Sounds like a Rothfield fact to me.

Cant believe your even having a go about this, I thought it was common knowledge.

"January 1997 A beer-soaked Taylor is seen live on national television being escorted from the SCG for unruly behaviour during a cricket ODI. Taylor and several North Sydney teammates had been backing up from a buck's party the previous night and it is alleged some players urinated in cups and threw the contents over patrons during a Mexican wave. Taylor is axed as an Australia Day ambassador by Central Coast organisers."

Happened when he was Norths captain.

Was widely reported at the time.

So it was alleged some players urinated in cups and threw them over people. Alleged. Good enough to slander the coach for the mods it seems.

Just relaying what was reported at the time… Over 20 years ago.

Tell JT to call in the lawyers if that's a problem.

Doesn't make it a fact. I guess we can say what we like here. I got s post deleted that said ' this is turning into a balmain forum'
But any old crap can be said about the coach. Is very poor form.

Taylor also had a falling out with the Wok at the Magpies. He asked for an early release which was denied. One of the reasons Taylor gave was that Wazza had a very structured style of play which was too restrictive and by the end of the season predictable. Sound familiar?

I think a young Taylor took someone's play lunch in primary school ..naughty boy ,the club should employ a private eye to investigate if there are any more skeletons in his closet,as most formers closets are empty.Right!

So your saying that things that may not have even happened 20 years ago are NOT the reason sobbie has turned into a very average footballer? ?

Pretty much sums up the situation if he gets to the first trial.

I'm not making it a fact.

I'll repeat again for you in case you didn't read it properly the first time … Just relaying what was extensively reported at the time.

And you deserved to have that other comment deleted.

The first member who posted was passing it off as a fact.

Yes, Snake. You're spot-on with that assessment. This will be career defining for Taylor at WT and, if that ends badly, possibly forever for him. That's how big a decision this is and how clumsily Taylor has handled the explanation of it.

There is no wriggle room for him now. He (and Ms Go and Board) has alienated a significant section of the fan base and members, many of whom don't buy the messages and explanations spewed forth by him and the club.

It will be interesting to see how the atmosphere at Campbelltown is today. I imagine it will be very much pro-Robbie and anti-Taylor. As it should be, in my opinion. Taylor has put himself right in the middle of this decision making and he will face the consequences.

If Robbie was guilty of raising doubts about Taylor's coaching capacity, then he's not alone there. But there's no point in telling Taylor and the board that. We need to be telling Sponsors that.

We are getting the spoon
The pressure on him would've always been there regardless… The decision on Robbie makes no difference

If people are supporting one player over the club... It shows just how toxic this place really is... Everyone has lost the plot and the old saying "no one player is bigger than any club" is still and will always apply today...
Don't forget your pitchforks

Certainly going to be hard to avoid the spoon and there would probably be a heap of pitchforks and axes out at Campbo this arvo if they could get them into the ground.

A good chance now that both protagonists will be gone shortly and I was as unhappy as most with the way the side was playing and being shackled earlier in the year, so am no great fan of Taylor. The current bloodletting at the club has seemed inevitable for some time and something's got to give.

Come this time next year I just hope that once the dust settles we are not discussing our coach or captain, whomever they may be and simply looking forward to a first finals appearance in five years.

Wishful thinking, I know.

If the club are allowing this to happen to Farah, before doing anything to Taylor, they will surely see out Jason Taylor's contract. Wouldn't make sense otherwise.

Taylor knows what resulted from the Potter v Farah fracas and I would say that Taylor has decided to take the initiative so that he doesn't end up like Potter did.

Yeah, buts that's exactly what he deserves!
