Madge Maguire - Mega Thread

[PJ_]

If true, what did we expect from an internal review. Although last time we did an external one, we ended up with @GNR4LIFE mate so........

 

[Needaname]

Review has been completed & will be presented to the board by Wednesday. Madge appears to have survived the cut, not so much his assistants. The support staff will not be in Madge's complete control but more or less club appointed, with the review under lining that they are well past the current game.
Player support was high & will be a major supporting factoring in Madge staying.

any word on the future of Adam Hartigan?

He will still be there, but a restructure on recruitment process has also been requested/suggested. Sheens will take a role in this not just junior recruitment.

Hallelujah!

 

[Demps]

Good news if true.
No issues.

We all wanted better assistants and could see the current ones aren't it.

Thanks for the updates.

Too early to discuss recruitment for 22?

I wonder who, if anyone is cut then? Surely someone must be.

 

[frullens]

supporting

thank you @THE_POM

Great news, thats what ive been calling for

Think its important to note the high player support
Particularly with those that matter - i.e the younger crew

Need some better assistants

And need to bring in some.leaders to help.madge

Not necessarily. The calls have been for the front office to get their proverbial together, a good review can lead to a restructuring of reporting lines and roles and accountabilities per personal. This would improve the broken link between office and operations.
Probably will be the last time we hear of both Pascoe and Lee being involved when meeting with potential recruits. 2 for 1 with Sheens taking that chair.

NOt sure how I feel about Madge being safe TBH. I really like him as a bloke and have long been a supporter, but it does get to a point where you wonder where the improvement is coming from. Also wonder how its going to improve recruitment.

I was probably hoping for a change of coach but having said that it would depend a hell of a lot on who the replacement was. Would prefer Madge over Flanno, Morris, Green. Would prefer Ciraldo or Bennet over Madge.

Man I hope you're correct about this.

Only guessing unfortunately

I wouldn’t be surprised if Madge’s delivery style isn’t brought up as part of the review / retention meeting. I mean I know I would request him to review his approach if he wanted to stay in the job.

Sheens may be able to tip us on some ESL up and comers.

 

[Tiger-ferret]

Certainly not against Pascoe moving on(same result etc) but if we think sacking him will do anything for 2022 is laughable.


So what’s the point of sacking him then?
If sacking fixes nothing I don’t get the point

Cause you want to change the next 5 years not the next year. Need to look for coach or players

I still think our bigger issue is weak minded individuals in the team. Much harder to fix though.

Weak minded or largely fractured and disgruntled because non performing players on massive salaries weren’t contributing?

If that’s the case we’ve got even bigger issues than we think. If any of our players aren’t putting in because someone’s earning more than them and they don’t think they should be then pack ya bags son, that kind of crap will do more damage than any coach.

Most of those highly paid under performing players have moved on now so if there’s fractures due to that issue they should be resolved.

Every club has players who earn more than guys beside them and it’s not always representative of output or form. They need to grow up a bit. It’s like a child crying because their sibling got more ice cream than they did.

No other club has butchered marquee money like we did.

Disagree. Probably more than half the clubs have messed up in periods. It’s just they get out of it quicker than we have.

Hope you are right with everything as madge needs better support staff

 

[Goanna57]

So it’s the assistants fault we went so bad this season .Player support was high imagine how we whould of played if support for Maguire
Was not high

 

[wonka]

Are there any good assistants left ? Guess they where too tight to sack Madge.
I predict he will be gone before the end of next season when they don't have to pay him out due to not reaching KPIs.

 

[JC99]

Sure glad we are sticking with a coach who is SO BAD tactically that the excuse being trotted out is the he needs high quality assistants next to him

If the tactics aren't his fault, and he can't keep the players happy what exactly does he offer? Halftime speeches that none of the players listen to?

Do you think the players would of lied about how they felt about him?

I dont think cleary could coach panthers defence without ciraldo as his assistant...

Assistants do play a big role in todays game IMHO
