Quote: Allez "'Of'? You mean 'have'?
In my view this is one of the poorest aspects to today. No way should Long and Lolesi still be in post and the very fact that they are suggests to me that the next appointment will be a safe, insular thinking one, more intent on protecting the positions of the few rather than the clear out everyone knows we really need. Why not just put Derek Traynor in charge for the interim?
I said from day 1 that Keiron was never a coach and he isn't. That doesn't mean I don't still hold him in the highest regard from his legacy as a player but the person responsible for this whole bloody mess is McManus. His sheer obstinacy is becoming the biggest barrier to this Club ever becoming successful again and he's riding on the back of his, albeit undoubted, achievement with the Stadium. He needs to re-evaluate how he does his business because I for one am becoming well cheesed off with his arrogant, self satisfied, better than thou approach. His record in appointing coaches is, with only a couple of exceptions, bloody awful and if anyone else in his organisation demonstrated that repeated lack of competence and kept doing it he'd fire them.
There's an oft used saying in business circles in that 'there's nothing more dangerous than the man who thinks he's good at something, yet quite plainly isn't'.'"
Could ov been worse (see what I did there?)
I think you're doing Eammon a massive disservice if you think the only thing he achieved is the new stadium. Look a bit further back to the fact that he saved the club from certain extinction and took us to being the most successful club of the super league era. For long periods he was bankrolling the club from his own pocket while we were losing money hand over fist. Clearly we're in a bad position currently but slagging off the man who is responsible for the fact the club even exists is a bit harsh. He's a very successful business man and has made a huge amount of money, quite a bit more than either of us I suspect, so he clearly is good at something.
I've worked in a lot of businesses for a long time and I've never heard anyone use your oft used saying.
Personally, while I wanted KC out I'm not happy with who's currently in charge and I think the fact that they've left it like that means that they can appoint someone if the right person comes forward; I'd be surprised if they wait until the end of the season.
