Maguire sacked

Problem is that the modern coach is just a man manger, a middle man between players and the board and a scapegoat when things go pear shaped. Could you imagine how long Jack Gibson would have a job these days with these whinging modern players with their massive ego's that need constant massaging. Also could you imagine him taking orders from Crowe and co.

Remember he had to deal with Ron Jones.

Big Jack always demanded to be paid $1 more dollar than the highest paid player - Wasn't many players who didn't get along with Big Jack and Sterlo considered Big Jack his second Father - Bob McCarthy was the only one I can recall who didn't when Big Jack was coaching Souffs Vermin(1978/79) -McCarthy came back to Souffs in 1978 from a two stint with the Dogs(1976/77) - McCarthy even trialled with the Roosters in 1979 pre-season cup when not offered another year at Souffs in 1979 - Conjecture about this still exists - McCarthy says he retired but I remember reading that the Roosters told him he would not be signed-so he basically was forced to retire as no other team wanted to sign him. Bob Fulton was captain/coach of the Roosters then in 1979.

Ronny Jones got the club out of near bankruptcy and built the club as we know it today - no Ronny Jones no Roosters - pay respect to the great man

Uncle Nick came into the picture in 1976 with a 3 year deal ($150k)- City Ford to sponsor the Roosters

I did say the modern day player where a group of players ousts the coach ala Gold Coast. Jack was the boss in his day and had no problems relegating a player to Reggies if he wished it. Today is all about ego management ala Hayne ect.

JT - Ronny Jones he saved the club and all should celebrate this great man - again no Ronny Jones no Roosters and you cannot ever deny this fact EVER - you like to use John Tobin as your namesake - that John Tobin dude was a criminal who already spent time in jail and will have a longer stint this time as well - cocaine trafficking again - involved with the Titan players being caught for cocaine as well - ripped me off too from his newsagency as well as you know - Your JT dude was a crook - Ronny Jones was Roosters through and through and saved this great club - never should anyone forget him

In reality, who is either inbred enough or that desperate for cash to want the job?

Plenty.
Souths are disliked on here but out in the big wide world it would be considered a privilege to coach them.
