Exclusive: Gus Gould to run Easts from 2014

[Ray Stehr]

The thing is Gould will attract great players, it's what we need.

Highly unlikely this will happen.

I despise them at the moment.

Blasphemer!!!!!

I dont disagree with that but he could not deliver the prize. I personally think Gus has a plan & a passion for Penrith & the juniors that he will stay out there with Cleary for the 5 year plan & continue to keep the game strong out in Western Sydney. I dont think Gus wants the GWS AFL franchise to be a success & IMO he feels the need to take the fight up to them.

I take your point with this however I dont believe Gus cares about how much the NRL is winning the west compared to the AFL as he does to how much power he possesses.

He runs Penrith atm and thats what he loves IMO.

If we can give him that power and match the dollars I think he will be right back with us. Wether I agree with that or not is a different story.

Why?

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.

Mate I posted this last week, my info came from senior parra official who is close friends with Gus. Gus will be back at the Roosters in 2014

Why?

Gus wouldn't know what he's doing next week let alone in 2014.

Finding a coach to replace Smith is a far higher priority.

[roorooman]

What a load of garbage. Gould is committed to rebuilding Penrith. Fact.
There is no way he will leave half way thru the job. He sacks half the staff and then leaves. I doubt it.

And Edge your post reads like one of those soapy magazines: "a source close to the actor ...".

Again please do not post here making false statements. If you hear something then post it, but do not make it up. It brings down the credibility of this forum.

And go away !!!

I heard chris andrson is over his meical condition and is ready for a new challenge

Heard he's lobbied the NRL to outlaw having more than one marker at the ruck !

Either the ex-Mrs Pie's favorite filling...

Or Ralph Wiggum.

Im not sure Gus is the sharp footy brain he once was...unless he is throwing some big dummy passes in commentary.

[Guest]

How good would Gould and Fittler be at Bondi......... bring it on.

We could party like it's 1996...

[Andrew Walker]

It is very exciting news

[stephenj]

and mini as flexability trainer?

[Guest]

Gould has been very complimentary to us in commentary (This could be alzheimers as he is the incredible ageing man). Fingers crossed, remember he wont be the coach, He was coaching director when we won it last!
