Ivan Cleary - THREAD..

@ said:
I got what I wanted.

I saw Pascoe, whom I rate personally as one of the best CEOs in Australian sport, stand firm and make as clear a response as possible. He could not have been firmer.

And he gave Gould a bit of a backhander on the way through. Perfect.

Game changer on his way?

Former half who plays fullback sadly barba wasn’t allowed back. Was on the cards though. Mbye decent.

As for Ivan. Relax.

I was holding out waiting for Ivan to say something before sticking the slipper in, I am still of that belief, but if you know something there are heaps of other people with far less patience than me that need reassuring.

People are missing the point - its more than just losing your coach - the whole Tigers brand would be laughable if they don't take a stand. Its about showing stakeholders and members and other clubs that the years of being a patsy are over. Pascoe has gone out of his way to state this. All that remains is that they stick to their guns. I personally believe Cleary will break his contract and walk with Gould up to his neck in that decision. If this happens the WT have to go hard - sue Cleary, sue Penrith and especially sue Gould. Stuff compensation. This could very well be a defining point in this clubs history.

The fact that Pascoe mentioned in the presser, that he too was sacked by the same CEO during his time @ the Panthers wasn't lost on me either. They've gone & made this personal. I salute Justin for coming out on the front foot & giving the fans what they needed.

You notice the PR machine kick into drive today too? A couple of manacured 1 sentence comments by both CEO & Chairman, and then a really well timed response 1 v 1 with Justin @ the end of the business day/news cycle.

This morning Brent Read questioned Ivan's integrity if he left the club, and now there's the article about how we can feasiby set up the chess board if we take it all the way to litigation. I'm actually proud of the club tonight. As I mentioned earlier, this is gotten personal now. Careers are on the line. We've got leverage 4 once now too. We gotta go all in boys & stop being emotional.

This was an all or nothing play from Penrith to keep Nathan. But really it comes down to Pascoe and go. I know Ivan well enough to know he’s a man of integrity and would be out of character for him to request to leave.
