Here is the scoop of a lifetime. Firstly, before you read what I am going to say and start planning your attacking response, just read this:
Gus Gould on coaching NSW: "If they're looking for a decision now for me to coach Origin, the answer would have to be no," Gould said. My situation could change dramatically in the next six months if they were prepared to wait but that may not fit into their timetable. I don't know what my life holds in the next 12 months. I don't know where the broadcast rights are going, whether I will be working in media, what the Panthers' situation will be like in that time."
Ladies and gentlement, we missed out on Ricky Stuart despite high-level interest in both camps, simply because Ricky couldn't wait one more year to get back into the club coaching game. The job here was his, if he was prepared to wait until 2014, so I am told. Why: because the Board does not want to sack another coach at this point in time.
From 2014, however, I am also told by an impeccable source - and no to the few dullards who will reply asking me to name my source, no - that the powers that be who run this place (not just the Chairman) want Easts to start winning premierships regularly, have had enough.
They have also woken up to who is available to run the joint as football "supremo". This supremo will effectively be the GM of football operations, and will be empowered to put in place a coaching staff as he sees fit.
This football supremo will basically be given the job for life, as long as the results trend the right way. This person is on our radar. We are on this person's radar. This person has served an apprenticeship running a football club and tough decisions have been made out there.... tough decisions that will ultimately benefit that joint after the lunatics finally realise they don't run the asylum.
From 2014, ladies and gents, there will be a new dawn at Bondi Junction. The person that saved the joint once before will be back. And this time he will mean business.
