Gee, the Madge haters are taking this well.

I don’t want to watch this team play again until they get a coach that improves them. What a joke we are , COWARDS. I have had it!

Since this is the thread for all things relevant to change I found reading these two articles back to back from 1 year apart interesting.
Quotes from Garry Jack in both.

My wife and I each have a premium membership and will keep them. We support the Wests Tigers and would never put any coach, player or other individual above the club (even Robbie!). We have stuck solid through thick and thin and believe that's what members and fans do.

I'm not looking for any pats on the back for this but we will always support whoever the club appoints. so the outcome of the review has had no impact on our support. I'm glad to see Madge continue with the passion and belief that he wears on his sleeve.

Here's to better times ahead!


Enjoy your wooden spoon next season to eat your soup with, because that’s where we are heading!

He didn't deserve that response.


Obviously not directed especially at him but the general Madge lovers with their massive blinkers on! Can’t stand the ignorance of some people!

Do they really even watch the games, as I said previously I have supported the club through numerous wooden spoons and this is the worst we have looked by a mile!

38-0 to the wooden spooners!

We were minus 10 Ist graders for one reason or another. This fact has been conveniently omitted by those with an agendas. I like you was of the opinion the players were not responding to Madge but as previously stated, that might be improved by a couple of decent assistants. There is one thing I will give Madge is that he definitely tries to give it his all. Unfortunately that might not be good enough, however I sincerely hope it is.

10 first graders????? tell that to Trent Robinson! Joke club, Joke team, Joke coach!

 

[Tiger_heart]

We have a history of poor decisions, this one adds to the collection..What is going to change next year is perhaps us finishing even lower than this year. We are keeping the coach there only because it probably wouldn't have been a good look to sack him. Let's embrace mediocrity, it has now become our new sponsor. Disappointed, to say the least.

So you would be ok replacing Madge with Jason Taylor? Anyone but Madge?

I’d let Gladys Berejiklian coach, she couldn’t do any worse than Madge has done for us, !

You swap Nofa with Tedesco and Joffa with Hargreaves and Lucy with Critchton and tell me we get the same result.

Oh sorry I thought you were making a point about the performance in the final game of the season.

I’ve just read the SMH report and what struck me as weird was the concern from the board that there needed to be greater connection between the club and the football department.

From the chairs and CEO’s previous communication, it seems the separation between the football department and club was intentional given Pascoe and the board has no football intelligence. I remember at the start of this review the chair laying the blame on the football department and going to painstaking lengths to praise the financial performance of the front office. It’s hypocritical bs that the board have laid the blame at Madge’s feet for the org structure and delineation of duties and responsibilities and that’s coming from someone who wanted Madge gone.

This is just one example of mixed messaging and diabolical communication from the club. I remember when Taylor got sacked, the club refused to acknowledge he was the wrong choice (clearly he was), the Pangai Jnr situation was embarrassing and unprofessional and yesterday’s cancelled board meeting was just a train wreck from start to finish. Communication may seem like a minor detail but poor communication creates uncertainty and an unstable working environment. It makes us seem outwardly unprofessional and chaotic, and degrades our integrity. Also it points to deeper issues of a lack of strategic direction both on and off the field.

Sorry for the long-winded rant guys I’ve just never been more disappointed and ashamed of the club.

Why was the cancelled board meeting embarrassing?

I find it embarrassing because it was a knee-jerk reaction to media reports and another back-flip by the club. It makes the board look spineless and indecisive because they can’t make a decision and allow that decision to be scrutinised. No matter what field you’re in any decision will likely be criticised but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be decisive. It just means that you should have the rationale and evidence to augment any decisions/stance. This seems lost on the board.

 

[Guest]

The club needed to come out a make a decision, now let’s support Madge. Anything about his assistants?

Yeah decision made, some agree, some don't, no changing it now. Hopefully the club lines up fully behind him now to get the job done.

I agree.
Everyone should now stand behind coach Sheens and assistant to the coach Maguire.

Madge presented to the Football committee yesterday and the board decided to think on it over night, it doesn't mean there was a backflip.

Got to remember mate the SMH also values so called NRL reporters like Buzz who by his own admission wrote an article saying Maguire was sacked. He has to carry a roll of toilet paper around with him to wipe up the mess after he talks. Dont believe every thing you read.

Do you want a medal, or a chest to pin it on? Big whoop, you followed to Maggies when they sucked. I followed Balmain from the early 90's into Wests Tigers. Not much to cheer about there either.

I think anyone who has followed Wests Tigers since it's inception understands what disappointment is. Some people are happy to stick it out through thick and thin. Would have thought an old Magpie or Balmain fan would understand that. I mean after all, we're all still here...?

I’ve followed them since before I can remember , through thick and thin, but the inept performances this year are obviously the result of a team that is poorly coached… defence and areas that under 7s organise better, players not improving and watching as someone that wears their heart on their sleeve with the results and it is so obvious that a new coach is needed . McGuire looks like he is wrecked m he has no ideas and to continue to accept that as an organisation is ridiculous. Pathetic and unacceptable.

Be careful what you wish for. Isn’t Madge a well known defensive coach? I guess at least he can spend all his focus on getting that in order while sheens and A2 sort out the attacking structures

Well played to the actors in the club who fought against making this another Groundhog Day. If it was Justin, good job sir, credit where due.
