Although hesitant to bring this up again, if we cast our minds back to the end of BBs tenure, there was plenty of conversation about the place re The TT sowing seeds of... mmm... let's just say, 'look at me, look at me... I know how to kick winning scores...' Perhaps what goes around, comes around? Then to have the remaining rounds of the season to prove yourself... and, taking the shackles off, change... good sugar hit which is good for a few wins. Then a haphazard due diligence re selection for new coach... and, voila.  Maybe its just me but I thought Teaguey's comments today were akin to MM's sack me I dare you comments.
However Teaguey is seen as a hero tonight, MM was seen as a grumpy old kent.

This has been in the back of my mind as well - I wonder how much support he really gave Bolts ?

It was a presser in June at the front of PP at the time the review was announced and he was asked "Will David Teague be the coach in 2022" to which he replied "Yes". I knew it was Liddle not MLG
Not much else he could say! Anything else would have caused a media storm... a little sooner than the current one!
I have a hunch that should Liddle stay his days of sticking his shnout into footy matters will be numbered. Nothing worse than a new CEO whose authority goes to his head and he starts making decisions in areas where his expertise is very limited. Stick with membership, sponsorship and other revenue streams knackers. Reckon he'd better stay in his lane for a while. Help appoint, if it happens, a new head of footy and senior coach, then let them structure up the footy department... and that includes recruitment!
The head of the footy dept should have a straight line to the Board in terms of direct reports... maybe a broken line to the CEO for some things.

So why havent they been on the front foot shielding the coaching group/team and trying to preserve the season ? No mate, no need for forgiving anyone, all good. My points were:
1. The club backed Teague at the start
2. They said no running commentary on the review or individuals, this is the quote from Liddle “The whole football department is part of this review and we look forward to the process. However, we are not going to provide ongoing commentary around individuals." Liddle in The Australian on 26 June 2021
Thats why I found Teague's comments today odd, he seems to be the one thats gone off script. There have been no leaks, its all be a media generated frenzy and I reckon TT dropped the ball today.

Bingo! I mentioned the same thing, GTC. Though I suggested that he'd perhaps been taking advise from MM! The TT plays the sympathy/woe is me card very well. Not a good tactic.

I suspect Teague would have been fine with no public comments if they had privately backed him in. According to him, there have been no public comments and he's received nothing in private either.

Fair enough, but I think the "damned if you do" is justified, if you go back and see how many coaches we've backed in, only to be sacked moments later. There seems to be little reason why this statement should be treated any differently IMO. If the public is sceptical about such pronouncements, the Club only has itself to blame.
