@GillsInTheBlood I understand the owner is really angry about it and sponsors are pulling out. I would imagine the Head Coach will be the sacrificial lamb in the near future
Struggling to see why you tell players their fate two days before the last game given that contracts are up till end of June. Not sure what is to be gained but what do I know!
In my opinion keeping a happy / motivated camp is a huge part of the role of a head coach Tony - Right near the top of the Job description for any leader in any team sport. Even in individual sports the motivation that the coach gives athlete can make them over achieve. Skills and tactics are massively important but that mentally strong highly motivated happy player can often over achieve.
The modern day player is a fragile beast Warren. They will have a variety of things they are not happy about I’m sure One thing is for sure that if they believe they have no future then that doom and gloom spreads across the dressing room and affects the morale in the camp. I’m convinced some of that has been behind the piss poor performances since the Autumn. Not like it was back in the day unfortunately
@jamesc1988gfc Best I keep my thoughts private James I’m sure everyone at the club is hurting and I’m sure some changes are coming because this season has been bloody terrible
@neil_last I’m just a fan these days Neil but I’ll always do whatever I can to help the club as it’s my team and where I’m from. I’m sure Brad and Shannon have a plan. People know where I am if I can help in anyway.
@AdamWesgate@RobHawley81@GillsInTheBlood@StuartLewis66 I think our geographic location plus property prices in the SE limits us to southern based players in the main. The northern lads often find it hard to settle and relocate with families etc etc esp when you are playing from contract to contract. It isn’t straightforward
