A poor appointment in my view, one that you can only assume was driven by the Magpie Board Members. Ejected from the SCG for throwing cups of urine in the air during the Mexican Wave, not having the common sense to make himself scarce on Mad Monday etc.
The Club had the opportunity to free itself of the past and create a new, unattached culture, free of the Sironens, Roaches, Leeds, Paytens etc. Anthony Griffin would have brought not just a good coaching brain, but a new group of assistants and most importantly, a mature, no nonsense approach, without having to pay homage to any political masters
Having someone with more money than sense seems to be our only long term hope
