I never said he abused anyone, you have misinterpreted my point.I am glad your starting to see people like that in the world.
The instant the smart and hard working GO, and yes men/brown nozes come in you know a place is going down the tubes.
It's why the "yes sir, no sir, 3 bags full sir" attitudes usually sink a business. You get nitless twits who are stupidly polite and next to useless.
That said, I won't cast aspersions of abuse on Gould. Yes I had a friend who worked Panthers who said Gould would "click his fingers at you and expect you to come over". But I haven't heard any abuse unlike Weinstein/Alan Jones/Don Burke, etc.
Gould has also taken 2x spooner teams to top teams in the Dogs and Panthers. He was brutal at the Panthers but he got results. ...
Just the guy is a total <word blocked on forum> Lazarus said he left for Brisbane because " I could see they were having fun playing football. I wanted to have fun too".
Bennett works people and gets the training result while keeping things fun. Gould thrashes people.
What I said is that those two men were protected for many years by people who tried to convince the world they were wrong about them. The way that NRL identities, especially in NSW, try to hoodwink the public into believing the “genius” of Gould is true, reminds me of those other situations.
Gould didn’t bring success to Penrith. He set targets that he couldn’t reach and the club couldn’t reach until he had to swallow his pride and bring back the coach he ran out of town, and then he left himself. Of course he takes credit for it and his sycophants back him up but Ivan had far more to do with it.
As for the Dogs being a top team…yeh nah.
