Marina Go on League Life

@ said:
Poor Buzz wouldn’t know whether he was Arthur or Martha atm. Hates Gus and Go equally. Wouldn’t know which axe to grind.

Buzz is too old and decrepit to grind an axe these days…...the dribbling old park-bencher is content to swig a flagon of gut-rot and whittle his wood instead.
 
Ivan is not innocent in this he is however benefiting by Gould and the Panthers being hammered by everyone for the arrogance of
1\. sacking a perfectly good coach who has done a good job 4 weeks before the finals.
2\. Approaching Cleary for all the reasons that suck about that - that we have all discussed a thousand times already.
Will be interesting to see how both teams go this weekend after the turmoil.
 
Where there is smoke there is fire
It is always the case
Alot of things went down but there is plenty of denying and sweeping under the rug going on
It's no over yet
Just delayed
I cant see Ivan lasting the full term now
Panthers need a coach next year
If not Ivan then they may be forced into a 3 or 4 year deal with another coach
That won't work for Ivan

Ivan needs to front the media before the raiders game ….

I wonder …..... is he timing this as a motivation for the Raiders game?

Saturday: Pascoe, Go and Cleary announce 3 yr extension
Sunday: 84-2 Tigers

No? Overthinking it?
 
Go said all the right things but I would not necessarily believe everything she says.
What we are seeing at the moment is a high stakes game of poker.
BS coming out from both sides.

Seems that way the more it drags out.

Can't understand the hate for her

She does everything for the club

The hate will solely be because she's a 'she' and not a 'he' - gender bias runs deep. She has done a great job under some very trying circumstances, as has Pascoe.

The “hate” was that she didn’t have a clue what was going on when we appointed her.

Further, she was appointed based on her gender rather than merit.

No one cares about the fact she’s a woman - it’s only ever been about getting the right people for the right job.

The same “hate” was being spoken about the other clowns running the place at the time.

The “hate” was criticism, not sexism. Let’s not confuse the two.

Just saw the interview on replay. I thought Marina Go was absolutely spot on with everything she said, and I have previously not been her biggest fan. We are in good shape with her chairing the board.
Some of the negativity about her in this thread is hard to fathom. She is the real deal.

Eerrr…who said anything negative about Go in this thread?

One comment said she was big noting (my words) herself about attending non-WT board meetings.

No such comment in this thread. No one even mentioned her other board meetings. You can relax mate…this thread is a Marina Go love fest

I swear some members on this forum are going through an existential crisis at the moment! One minute it's "I hate Ivan raaahh! Untenable! Rahhh!" then suddenly "omg let me have his babies"

The backtracking if he stays on. And if he re-signs. My God. Hilarious.

Wrong i don't think anyone is back tracking , don't you worry Ivan has played his part in getting something organised at the Panthers .
Personally Cleary ain't no Bellamy , he always seemed an honourable bloke and if he had no intentions in going anywhere he would of come out by now and said so along the lines of " i Have a Contract here at the Wests Tigers and i will be honouring it " .
If your Clubs CEO comes out and says " if he asks for a release ? it will be denied " that is what fans want to see….well i certainly do , don't care if he wants to go in 2 years time but don't fold at a potential request and make our Club look piss weak , that's what matters most to me .
 
Marina Go Interview

http://www.sportingnews.com/au/league/news/ivan-cleary-coaching-future-wests-tigers-chairman-slams-phil-gould-for-approaching-coach/17atf2wjo0q1i1u1ouv81zzy5d
 
I like her. She has obviously upset some in the media previously and they have tried to hunt her, otherwise people are having a stab at her being a token woman. You'll get that and I think she expects that, shows more about the person than her.

The interview was exactly what I wanted to see from our Chairman. Better than interviews given by other chairmen, thats for sure.
 
This whole saga has been handled extremely well by Go and Pascoe so far.
Great to see such a professional change in how we as a club handle adversity.

The main point is - she was the right person for the job, no matter what she was. She has proven this over the last few years in spades and is still proving it.
 
I'm proud how our CEO and Chair have responded to this Cleary situation.

This has been initiated all by Gus and when you compare how the two clubs have represented themselves over this saga the last 2 days its chalk and cheese…they may well have the better facilities and roster(for now), but I know who has the better Leaders and its clearly the WT....and that will not be lost on people... Well done Pascoe and Go!!
