    Check the Age website. Speculation that they haven't spoken is so far off the mark it's funny.

      Jeezus, does anyone at the club get along right now?

      McCartney sounds gone. And letting him conduct our next month before walking sounds fraught to say the least.

          Impey He fumbled a lot during the final against west coke. No outstanding traits which would attract us

            In their roles if they can't work together one has to go. They go hand in hand.

                They just have to be professionals. There is nowhere that says they have to have family BBQ's together. There are people at my work I wouldn't give the time of day if I didn't work with them, I still go in and get the job done and go home.

                  Exactly. We aren't expecting them to send each other Christmas cards, just for them to work together. I have great professional relationships with people I wouldn't socialise with. In fact they are better professional relationships because there is no other aspect to them, it's because we don't waste time on niceties and great straight down to work. Im not at work to make friends.
                  They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                    Of course everybody need not be best mates but is the friction between McCartney & Dalrymple a demarcation dispute?

                    How the club can be comfortable with JMac entering the next super-critical month of list shaping with no apparent plans or commitments between the two beyond it?

                        Surely given the end date of his contract, this was always likely to be the case? What's the alternative? Sack him early and pay him out, then pay someone else to do it?

                          You're not going to get many job offers if you have a reputation for dicking your current employer around.

                            Sure, but you'd reckon if McCartney is out the door it'd have already been all but bedded down by now, or at least the consequence of some rather strong interest.

                              I don't see much of an issue with it. There is a committee that oversees the trading period and no deal gets done without acceptance. He's a very professional guy and I believe he has mapped out all the potential trade targets.

                              We might need to have someone with him during all discussions but he won't be half arsed.

                              There is a still a reasonable chance he will stay.

                                Yeah I'd be having Chris Grant sitting in on every meeting he has.
