I don't think gt showed enough to suggest he's worth that much effort, he did ok with the resources/situation, and like others I'd be interested to see what he could do with a full pre season with his players and I'll back him if he returns. However I'd rather we had someone with more experience of coaching outside of the top tier and someone who clearly wants to be here and sees us as an opportunity not a fall back option. Even in our current state I suspect we would have a few suitable candidates to choose from.

Interesting to know who is available though, bearing in mind any p/t coach with outside employment is required to manage the f/t part of the squad

Really baffled why the owners are still entertaining Toovey after all this fannying about.

Well, because we are unlikely to get anybody remotely at his level in the game. And from his POV I assume he would take a better job if one came along, as would we all. And I assume he has in mind the loyalty shown by the club to predecessors and is rightly mainly looking after number 1. As we all would.

If Chalmers as employer hasn't given him a deadline then whose fault - if that is a fault - is that? If Chalmers is happy to give Toovey until November to see if he wants this job or some other, can you blame Toovey and his agent for using the time?

Toovey is not a Bull. he has no historic connection with the club, and only officially started when the season was nearly over. He doesn't owe us much, in the circumstances he was thrown in. So why should he wear sackcloth and ashes if offerd say an NRL assistant job or similar in sunny Aus? How many of those criticising him have yet bought a season ticket?

I'd like Toovey to stay but this needs sorting now. He's had long enough to decide.

I suspect Chalmers already knows what's going on.

I thought that a couple of months ago. And still thought it weeks afterwards. It's now dragged on so ridiculously long that I'm no longer convinced Chalmers has a clue either.

Yeah, certainly hope so. I remain unconvinced though.

Although far from being heavenly Owners..I have to remind myself that only God moves in mysterious ways!

Not certain that's true either...

chill out guys, take a look up there top right at those hot Latin/Russian/Antarctic/Gaucho Online Beauties to take your minds off this crisis and on to genuine nonsense.

Oh, you only get prepper's adverts for a container load of rice and shot guns to be delivered to Islay? You must be doing something wrong!!!!

It is my pleasure to say: THIS, FA.
