Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.Comment

If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

Darce last night said Cameron had a brilliant football brain; Walls suggested just appoint him and no need for the panel. Hawks have come out in numbers to sing his praises for his work with them. Everything I hear on the media from those who have worked with him or are close to him suggests that Leon Cameron has a serious analytical mind for the game and has had the necessary training to step straight into the job of senior coach. The weight of opinion of those who should know has me convinced he is right for the job.Comment

Of course Cameron is over the line -- bookmakers are not in the business of giving money away.
So we get rid of a successful coach for no specific reason other than a wishy-washy one of 'needing change', then we go and hire one of his old assistants and think that this represents that 'change'?
FFS, this is why we don't win shit.
I don't think telling the whole media world we got rid of Eade because he couldn't do A,B,C would be doing the right thing by Rodney Eade.
He is still trying to get a job and us pointing out his flaws would kill his future chance of landing a role.More of an In Bruges guy?Comment

But the club can give us stronger and more truthful reasons for their decisions without assassinating the character of the person being sacked.
If the club basically can't give any real reasons for legal or ethical reasons, I don't see the value of the press conference, frankly. Just a nonsense facade. I'm not saying bare your soul to the world, but there is a way to run press conferences and give real information, not just put up a pretend wall and treat everyone like mugs. Unless, of course, there are agendas at play that cannot be aired, which is a bigger problem than simply being shit at press conferences.
None of us bought the spin the day Rocket was sacked, and the actions of the club since have only further proven that they tried to sell us a sack of crap wrapped up in meaningless platitudes. How long do you think intelligent paying members would put up with being spoken to like idiots?Comment

Who knows if Neeld wants to coach at the dogs?
To answer your comment Desi, there is such thing as weeding out the ones you don't want to interview, just like any job.FFC: Established 1883

I don't think there's any doubt that membership will drop off next year. It could potentially be significant, and whilst nobody likes fickle supporters, the club is largely at blame.W00F!Comment

Just as many supporters wanted a new contract for Eade, there are many supporters who believe that a new coach is the correct decision and that the club was as respectful as it could be to Rocket in the circumstances.Comment
