Scott Fulton [Discussion]

[TYGA]

Scott Fulton is a better recruitment manager than McDonnell. Sheens is a caretaker coach grooming Benji. I have more faith in Fulton to acquire players not sure how this is even a discussion. It’s a smart move in my view. Not offering Brooks more than an ever age salary is already the first good sign.

 

[hammertime]

My guess is that there’s a master plan to get rid of Sheens and Benji.

Surely not. They are 1/2 a season in for a 5-year plan. Whatever it is, it wouldn't be about removing Sheens and Benji.
It may be around ensuring some independence & governance from a boys club forming.

Exactly.

They won't out Benji. They may or may not out Sheens, and to be honest he has not performed as well as we would have hoped. They have commited to a 5 year plan with Benji and I reckon that is still going to happen.

What the Board however have done is go "were not putting all our eggs in the one basket, if Sheens keeps delivering a big Suck! Others here are going to be able to advise and take over. We want you to succeed Tim, but you need to give us success if you want the power."

Watch Sheens recent press. His teeth are grinding. Working for muppets will do that.

He’s not the main problem, unless it is he who is using Pascoe as a puppet.
Pascoe has overseen 8 years of failure.
If our goal is to play finals footy and win a GF, then he has failed and needs to move on.

I see it as Lee runs the joint being the main income contributor. Lee loves pascoe.

What are we judging Sheens on - Year 1 wooden spoon, Year 2 - 16th half way through

Looks like we dodged a bullet with pretty boy Ciraldo - he’s inherited a premiership winning roster in his maiden year as head coach but the Bulldogs have shown bigger-all, just a few last minutes wins on the boot of Burton .. Sheens is coaching through a rebuild and relying on the boot of a minimum wager in Wakeham

Hopefully not, but they definitely lost trust in him. Otherwise they would have told him.

Fulton runs the list hire's and fire's and Sheen's is the coach now total power shift

Sheen's is employed to coach Fulton's list of players and with Mac there he signed who Sheen's wanted

If Fulton and Sheens can work together great but this was obviously a power play between Lee and Sheen's lee needs to be the big guy

Are you sure about this redistribution of responsibilities?
If that’s the case now, if players aren’t performing do they sack the coach or recruitment guy?

Sheens with pooped Skins in the 3rd.

And the 5th.

When can we expect Fulton to start signing players?

Sheens was in no position to demand he brings who he wants. He was the GM of football, he had a say in whom was already at the club. Him demanding we hire a real estate agent as our head of recruitment was absurd and should have been bluntly rejected straight away.
Our management didn't have the balls to take Sheens on, but now that we're still pathetically embarrassing they have more leverage.

Sponsors are meant to sit back and let the experts operate.

And sponsors not meant to become Chair 🤣

I don’t know much about Fulton, but the media seem to hold him in high regard and his appointment was well received. Does anyone know why, I don’t look at Manly‘s recruitment as an example of excellence, has he been great ant identifying youth? what am I missing?

 

[balmain boy]

The club could not sign a first grade quality player. Sheens comes back and suddenly we have a forward pack capable of competing. What possesses a bunch of totally unqualified idiots in suits to go above him and mess up his planning, 6 months into his head coaching stint? I will always support the jersey but it’s getting increasingly difficult when it’s being run by incompetent egomaniacs.

Mess up his planning?? How?
By sacking an incompetent muppet, whom had already been sacked three times in the past 15 years, twice by us? Sheens has everything his way except now for replacing a useless old fart for a highly skilled younger professional. It's a massive win for the club, and Sheens. Fulton may actually be able to lure players to the club, whereas Warren could not.
I hate the clubs management as much as anyone, but this is one thing they've absolutely done right in correcting a previous error.

His youth recruitment/development is what has earned him most of his plaudits.

He set up a lot of the pathways in the Western Syd/Blacktown area in which the young Polynesian kids in their side now (Schuster, Olakau’atu, Koula, Fainu brothers etc.) came from.

 

[balmain boy]

Watch his recent press. He’s got the shits and is likely to leave. Where there’s smoke there is fire and in our clubs case it’s a dumpster fire.

Watch his press conferences? really?
He's always been a grumpy, scheming old man
