Sack him Now

LOL… We aint that broke.

We are guaranteed $21M over the next 3 years through the NRL Grant. As I said earlier, I wouldnt pay him out regardless. Let him take us to court. If he doesnt accept a reduced payout, let him know you will drag his name through the mud that no other NRL Club would want him. With his ego, he will take the reduced payout, & the next grant will of arrived by then. Solved!

I wouldnt sack him eitherway _. I just dont see the sence in people justifying keeping someone based on it being to expensive to pay them out. How expensive is it to keep them?!_

_Yep, sometimes you just have to cut your losses and head in a different direction, as it makes no economic sense to jeapordise other areas of the business as well.\
\
Having said that, and despite writing my concerns about Taylor on here for a couple of months, I don't want his head immediately, however, WT should be making alternate plans and interviewing in case things don't improve or worsen._
 
Taylor hasn't hot the nouse to turn this club around . He's got nothing !
It'll be back to the drawing board after his tenure IMO .

I can't see him being punted, but if they did who is around who can turn the club around ?

Bellamy ? Griffin ? Brown ? Parish ?

Bellamy would be a million dollar coach but what price do you put on success.

Anyway as I mentioned I can't see any change at this point in time.
 
**<big>Coach Jason Taylor says South Sydney's loss to Wests Tigers is club's lowest ebb
July 07, 2009</big>**
>
South Sydney coach Jason Taylor says Saturday's thrashing by the Wests Tigers was his lowest point with the club.
>
Taylor held a clear-the-air meeting with his players before training as the dust settled following the 54-20 mauling by the Tigers.
>
"It's the lowest the team's been in my time here," Taylor.
>
"Regardless of the fact that we lost a heap last year, we were a confident team at the start of this season and would have had nightmares about us getting to that point.
>
"But we've got there and now we've just got to bounce back from it."
>
Taylor said his team's defence had been "non-existent" against the Tigers and it was time for his charges to start showing they were capable of playing in the NRL.
>
But the former NSW Origin halfback said he had been encouraged by his team's response so far.
>
"At the end of the day what we've been producing hasn't been good enough," Taylor said.
>
"It starts with our training, we've got to improve it right there and then, that will spill over onto what we do on the field.
>
"When I say our defence is non-existent, it's there at times and then it just disappears and that's just a concentration thing.
>
"… You can't just say we've got to concentrate and then it will happen, we've got to do it at training and we've got to work hard at improving it and that's what we've started on today.
>
"One of the things about it is our training sessions haven't been extremely poor. They've just been a little bit down a couple of times here and there but it's the NRL.
>
"It's a high standard, so we've got to get it up there."
>
Taylor's comments were backed up by his captain Roy Asotasi, who said the Rabbitohs were guilty of giving up against the Tigers in a performance he claimed was "unacceptable".
>
The New Zealand international challenged his teammates to prove their critics wrong in Friday's match against Penrith.
>
"The performance that we put out on Saturday night was not South Sydney, it wasn't our style and we know that deep down," Asotasi said.
>
"We knew that we kind of gave up and this is a tough competition and you've really got to step up. It's a game that you play week-in, week-out and you've got to do it 100 per cent.
>
"Our true colours will show on Friday

Some familiar comments in this Taylor article from 2009.

"What we are producing isnt good enough" or my favorite "Taylor said his team's defence had been "non-existent" against the Tigers and it was time for his charges to start showing they were capable of playing in the NRL."

6 years on and still blaming the players and telling them they arent NRL players.
 
I was at that match in 2009 and vividly remember that when his image he was shown on the ground TV screens there was loud booing from the Souths fans. Nothing has changed.

Well I to have given Taylor's structure a caining over the weeks,but then again we haven't got Roy Asotasi in our team ,we have some very ordinary players and some absolute talent in our team,we need Taylor to bring the best out of all of them to be a competitive unit…that is his job full stop...if he can't get them to work well together then he may as well move on..just my thoughts,coaching is just that work on your strength and sharpen the weakness,it can't be that hard if you are an NRL coach,that's what you work toward and end up with the big dollars ...for your expertise,otherwise don't put your hand up and give people a false sense of achievement in the coming seasons....if you employ a top notch lawyer to get you off a minor conviction and you pay him big dollars,but you end up in the klink,you certainly would be asking the big questions I would assume.. 😱pen_mouth:

_Err that NRL grant is eaten up by player salaries and team costs.\

Regarding the court thing, haven't we already learned from dumping Sheens?_

_What so we learnt that it can be an expensive process but we didnt learn to put a performance clause in future contracts._
 
Our reputation as a decent team is in tatters, it will cost 21m to buy a decent fringe first grade centre and backrower

I'd like to hear what The Board is doing about this and the NRL for that matter. The Board appointed Taylor so I would like to know how they are interacting with Taylor in regard to our declining form and results. If the NRL have put the breaks on the clubs recruitment through the Board which I believe they control, to the point where we are heavily disadvantaged recruitment wise as compared to clubs that don't have the NRL s close scrutiny of the salary cap because they are not represented on other clubs' boards then the NRL needs to consider the effect this is having on the club and its supporters/members. There has been much written about how poor our previous administrations have been in relation to cap management and this is probably a main factor why we shed so many experienced players at the end of last year, I assume it was one of the NRLs strategies to get Wests Tigers back on track financially and cap wise (through the Board) however the net effect looks to be a wooden spoon or close to,with no chance of improvement in sight given no recruitment for next year. How does the NRL expect the club to survive through this or is that part of their motivation?

Its a very good point you raised. You can't inject yourself in a board when things are going pear-shaped to get a little stability, and then have them sit serendipitous and watch the last 15 weeks unfold. For mind, it means they are either privy to something we aren't, or the end justifies the means.

The trouble is the board being an independent NRL elected board havent got a clue. They have no football background whatsoever.
 
The bottom line is the current squad is not of First Grade quality. The mix of youth and experience is off. Unfortunately we don't have the resources to do much about that. The reality is we have to continue to develop the young players with the current coach.

If you can't pay him out then rather than sack him you have to re assign him and put someone else in the current organization in charge.

_The club can use the NRL Grant any way they feel suitable… Yes we did learn from Sheens. We dragged out the legal bs to get him to accept a reduced payout!_
 
I'm pretty sure the grant has to be used to cover salaries.

To be fair, JT hasn't got the necessary tools at his disposal yet to carry out his duties.

Give him the team he wants and then judge him.

All the more reason for a rationale, non-emotional based decision for what is best for the club and the bottom line. Like the new CEO; doesn't need to know the game inside and out, every rule and every player's junior club; just need to know enough about what drives growth, gets them out of trouble and keeps the money flowing in so we don't end up in the same place we are at the moment.
 
I wonder if Farah has any inclination to coach. Could we do worse than have him as captain coach so as to enable a transition of Cherrington? Farah's form is on the slide, maybe less minutes could work for his overall game, a coaching gig would keep his ego intact and he's still top of the tree with his beloved club. The years done, with no signings for next year we'll be at the bottom again or there abouts, but at least the team would be stable for a year without excuses such as the coach losing the dressing room.
