    Don’t you have to tell them they are not required by the end of August ?
    If so we are just shuffling , which i am ok with if we continue to keep tracking the way we are.

    Re: Senior Assist Coach Options

    Shuffling is OK, as long as we actually bring in some new talent to perform meaningful roles. Having the same blokes rotating through the same positions isn't sustainable.

    We haven't just shuffled, we have had a few come in and out. Yes there are a few that have been there awhile. Have some faith.

    Faith got nothing to do with it. I'd like to see some of the talented folks moving around clubs at the moment enter our club and strengthen the coaching ranks. New people, with different backgrounds, plus different club experience and new ideas are essential in my estimation.

    I agree, but you think it won't happen.

    I hope. But I know Bolton, Roughy, Richo, Caracalla won’t be. My original question was did these guys overlook our offers, or did we not chase them?

    Besides Caracella who is returning home, none of those teams are in the finals. Could it just be a timing issue with us focusing on this season still?

    From what a very well respected poster around these parts anecdotally states, Caracella wouldn't last two seconds at Willy Wonka's place (and the oompa loompas wouldn't even get out of bed to sing a *!*!*!*! off song for him) so I don't want him.

    None of them were realistic chances to come to us.
    FWIW, the speculation is that there will be two coaching changes.

    Keep it to yourself but we are fairly confident that we have mastered the science.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
