Politis Alternatives

[Danish]

who cares who the board is? Can anyone name the chairman of the board for all the teams currently in the top 8? All we need from the board is for them to understand that they aren't to meddle in football matters. Other than that they can all **** off.

Coach, Captain, then CEO are the important positions required for a successful footy club, and the CEO is only important because he (at least he should) be in charge of who the coach is.

The fat ****s stuffing their faces in the SFS carvery 3 games per year and spending half the season getting pissed in Greece mean two tenths of **** all

Gus is part of the problem.. He was great but is yesterdays man and out of touch..

IMO we won't know if Gus still has the juice till we see if Penwiff improve their performances next season and beyond.

He has certainly shown again he isn't scared to make calls, no matter how unpopular that makes him. I personally respect that trait in blokes like Gus.

Gus gave us 4 years of Smith... Remember Souths trusted him to recruit when they came back into the comp in 2002 and he brought in dinosaurs on huge pay packets.. He also couldn't seal the deal as our coach.. Again he had his habit of dredging dinosaurs, think Paul Dunn, Dale Shearer and Paul Langmack to the Roosters.. The problem with Gould is partially Nick in that Nick trusts him unquestionably... This means he gets free reign to create havoc but will be able to so without any accountability. He won't be the coach..

I don't look at it being Gus' fault his coaching recommendations haven't all worked out. He isn't here overseeing the coaches. The last time he did that we made 3 GFs in a row. All he did was recommend something he knows a lot about, being coaching a club, to his mate who allegedly acted on that advice. What happens after that IMO isn't really his responsibility, unless if he has a role ongoing???

I will judge him on what he's doing now and how that turns around his current clubs fortunes.

He puts his arse on the line. He cops heaps for his involvement in the game but I can't but respect the man and his love of the game. He is one of the very few who has put his rep on the line for the game and stood up for it as a whole thru the shit of the last 20 yrs.

IMO he cops a lot of shit that's unwarranted. But that's just my opinion mate, I respect others right to theirs.

Mate, most of these guys are connected for their own self interest.

Gyngell is a easts man thru and thru sure he comes from a famous eastern suburbs family and had k packer as his godfather but he is no toff and well respected by many including the surfing community as just another bloke - I admire him as he started out on his own in biz via his surf shops then worked his way to the top at 9

That to me is why bringing Gus back would be the perfect solution. I think people need to accept that politis is easts and probably not going anywhere like it or not. If Gus is the man who can handle him then bring him back. Recruitment wise Gus is also the man. Him and Cleary would be the perfect team. Forget about what's happening at penrith, doesn't mean they wouldn't succeed here.

Thats exactly what I said, just becasue they are not succesful at one club it has no inkling on how they will succeed at another club. I think Cleary & Gus are a much better option

If only Bernie Gurr was interested.

Couldn't agree more.

From the moment he joined us (we won our last game in 1994 when he took over in an otherwise horrendous season) until his last official involvement, we were in a position of strength.

I laugh at how people criticise him for not winning a comp during his time as coach.

He completely re-built the club from the ground up. It was a basket case (much like now) but he transformed us into a powerhouse whereby we endured a decade of excellence.

We were strong in all grades, including SG Ball and Jersey Flegg. We could look at the draw and almost pencil in which matches were "gimmes".

Like him or not, he would only be an asset to our club. Why wouldn't you want a person with his insight and knowledge involved?

Currently we have people like Noyce as the face of our great club.

I know who I would prefer.

[Kingbilly]

Its easy fixed.
Politis needs to get some logons for himself and the board members for RL internet forums, then al of a sudden they will be experts

From being quite a bit anti Gould in the past, I have come to realise football Gould is not what clown Gould is. I agree with what you say, except about Noyce, don't underestimate him.

Agree. Gus turned our club around and made it into the powerhouse club we were in that great period. Every game we thought we would win and if we did not win the game we would at least give our all. The whole club was professional from top to bottom.

Now we find our club in terrible times and need for change. This needs to start from the top and we need rich owners and Easts fans such as Packer and Gyngall to work with Politis. They need to make sure we have the funds to be a powerhouse and professional club yet bring in a strong CEO so they can stay away from the football side of things.

Our CEO S Noyce does not bring any confidence or power and needs to be moved on for John Quayle to return to the club.He would be one of the best appointments the club has ever made.

Next the players and coach. We have some great young players however they seem to have no idea how to play and seem to be going backwards in a big way.The addition of SBW and Maloney will be great however RTS needs to come in for mini, club legend but the game has past him by, and a hooker and hard working front rower need to be brought in. The coach has to go.Gus or Bellamy are the only two options to bring our club success.

This is all dream stuff that I wish would happen to make our club the most professional in the NRL and will probably never happen,i can dream though can't I ...

FTR, the only man capable of the top job hides in cupboards and is likely to be wearing a gimp mask.

This whole thread is pointless.
Bansai you are so out of touch bro.

[stephenj]

only out of touch from a coaching perspective, be great as coaching director and hed love the cash too, then he could move back to his house in the shire

[Guest]

When all appears lost,
the team is suffed,
the coach is 'shot,'
there's only one course of action,
and that is,
bring back,

Is the Dalai Lama available? His teachings that human suffering is life long, and the application to us meaning the road to spiritual enlightenment is disattaching ourselves from whether the roosters win, sounds useful in our circumstances!
