Madge Maguire - Mega Thread

[twentyforty]

We should be awarding him a medal of honour and courage for taking on the challenge, not hang the guy.

Each to their own opinion, but I could not disagree more strongly with this point, he has had more than enough time to at least get the team to show some form of improvement, he has failed.
Keeping on blaming Cleary 3 seasons later is a cop out, and Madge and his excuses are a cop out as well.
You want to give him a medal, I want to give a one way ticket out of here, that is the beauty of opinions

Sure, I’m just not ready to give up on him. I’ve said it before, if we need to sack people, then we start with those responsible for putting us in this hole if they’re still clinging to their jobs.

Pascoe ain’t clinging but he’s about as proven or reliable as Lee re-signing Nof - extreme performance failure at the highest level (despite Woodward/Hartigan and Madge all telling us they disagreed)

What’s really rubbing me the wrong way is that people inside the club are supposedly leaking players’ texts ? I doubt that

Lee making another ‘power play’ ...

With the god damned SMH

The ground should open up at Concord HQ and swallow them up, even the cleaners

I'm not usually in the fence but I am in this one.

I can see both sides of the argument.

Maguire has lost the dressing room but should we sack the coach or sack the senior playing roster who are sooking.

Guys like Moses, Brooks, Nofo and others have been here longer than the coach so I'd allot a little more blame to them before sacking the coach.

But a new coach may want to feature those players in his rebuild.

It's a messy situation and all parties are to blame.



My cash is on Nofoaluma as the main problem /instigating player unrest and piss poor attitudes .

My money is on Mbye. The guy is full of himself.

Who has said he has lost the dressing room? A couple of people on here.

Last week, they were saying Kevin Walters had lost the dressing room?

Haven't heard any players mention anything? No doubt, we are in a hole, but we are not a top 6 side yet? I don't think anyone thought we would compete in the last 4 games?

I believe we will get there and it is certainly taking longer than we all want, but imo, the club has to let him finish his rebuild. He has the experience we need, remembering we have been trying to do it for 10 years, it is not as easy as we all thought?

I'm saying it. He has lost the dressing room.

Players are not responding.

I'm no fan boy of the senior playing group. Most of them are imposters but right or wrong the coach has lost them.

Plain to see.

We are in the end game now. That is obvious. Just depends on how soon it ends.

I'm not, we need to see this through.
Those not happy can leave

The younger players love madge.
Laurie, Seyfarth, Blore, Ute, Simpkin

They are the future not Nofa, Moses, Packer, and the rest of the softies

Madge has some failings, but he isn't our biggest problem. He is the one who care and tires the most

None, but that’s the point, I know you have mentioned it, but no one else has, in fact they rallied in the second half of the Souths game, hardly an indication he has lost the shed. There is no proof of your assertions what so ever.

Take your blinkers off and you may see things, instead of being one eyed and negative.

We scored points in the second half because south’s clocked off. It is very obvious he’s lost the playing group.

Needs more help with better assistants

Not at all, I’m looking at it rationally. I actually think he lost he playing group midway through last season, and I think it’s gotten worse since then.

It’s a toxic environment with no harmony at all. Your issue is you have wanted him to succeed so badly from the beginning you simply cannot deal with the fact that he’s failed.

Does anyone know if he gets to pick his assistants or does the club pick them for him?

But a new coach may want to feature those players in his rebuild.

That is the key point, we let Madge bugger around for any longer and we will have no money to spend and a real crap roster, he can't attract players, even when we have money

How are we going to have no money to spend?
If we have no one to spend it on?

Madge spent money, and quite a bit on BJ, we will get more of the same

Not correct it’s Canberra paying the majority still it’s a major factor besides poor play there’s no chance of taking his option.

That was last year, we are paying it this year

This was literally in tonight’s article by Chammas

“The news comes as multiple sources at the club told the Herald there was growing discontent among the players about Maguire, which has been exacerbated by the coach’s post-match comments following the loss to South Sydney.“
