Which makes me wonder why Penrith would be targeting him as the man to take them to a Premiership, aside from wanting to retain Nathan of course. Penrith have about a 2 or 3 year window for a Premiership with the team they have now. Gould came out and said he wanted a coach that could take them there during that period. If that's the case, then Bennett is the man, not Cleary. We may have this all wrong.

Next winter is coming - the funny thing is i think this episode is going to turn a lot of people off league - not the hardened long term supporters but those who enjoy watching a game without really following anyone. The fact that this just started out with Gould and his ego then embroiled us and now the media are saying Brisbane and Saints can be included. And where is the NRL's response to all this. They are Mordor - destroying all in their sight.
If you eliminate, just for a moment, the extraneous noise involving Nathan, Gould etc there are three possibilities for Ivan's future.
A. He seeks a release for 2019 and it is granted after WT put Penrith through the wringer
B. WT offer an extended contract to Ivan which he accepts
C. He sees out his contract and goes to Penrith in 2021.
The question is which of the three are the best option for WT. Option B is my preference despite some misgivings about Ivan's complicity in this whole sorry saga. To me option C is the worst because it puts our club in limbo for two years before getting a new coach who can move us forward. Option A is the next best after B because we at least get some compensation from Penrith and we secure the best coach available to us and continue the rebuild Ivan has started. My fear, if Ivan stays for two years knowing he's off to Penrith, is that we stagnate and fail to attract the quality players we so desperately need.

Yep agree. Extended contract would keep me very happy.
And not fizzed if Nathan signed by Panthers.

No extension - he sees out his contract - we don't go near his whiny son with a 10ft pole. In 2021 Penrith can have the rednecks while duelling banjos play in the background and pigs are squealing.

I don’t see how offering an extension when he’s only a tick over 12 months into his current deal and over 2 years left will solve any issues. A pay rise maybe, as tigers for him at a decent rate. But an extension when he has 2.5 years left makes little sense at this point

Gould absolving himself of everything on the footy show, what a load of rubbish

Gould is full of it
Just seen him talk on TV
Said Ivan was going to talk to tigers about his long term future at the tigers after Ivan had a meeting at Penrith
That is why he had no option but to inform Griffin that he was not required at the club next year
Why would he have told Griffin that if Cleary intended to see out his contract here with us
Now if Cleary has two years to run and Griffin has two years to run why sack him
Gould expects Cleary next year

I know it’s old fashioned but I can understand the mentality Manly and Canterbury like to adopt - the coach comes from one of their own.
If it's true, you've got to wonder about a team that is prepared to tread water for 2+ years with a caretaker coach while they wait for a bloke whose main appeal seems to be he's related to their halfback. If we were advocating this we'd be despairing about how dumb our board is.
Anyway if this is how it plays out I'd say keep IC and get a football manager to handle recruitment.
