Football Department Review

[PaulP]

So Lyon could be the Trojan Horse for an eventual takeover.

Yep, it's starting to feel like a turf war.

Marc wasn't happy how he was carried to 300....shakes head.  And these bozos used that as part of the input data for this all singing all dancing review.  F-tards,  the lot of them. What a joke.

A very simple and much cheaper solution to all this is let the players coach themselves.

Lord of the Flys.

This sort of paranoia will be circulating within the club, it doesn't even need external influences to gain traction.

Some of this was set in motion when the original SOS decision was made, because of how badly that was handled and how the issue was framed.

Exactly, beat me to it.

The captain is kinda the coaches 2IC. Cripps hung the coach out to dry.

Players must be looking over their shoulders wondering who they can/can’t trust.

You reckon Lyon would get the ability to bring his own assistants over.
Dare him to make SOS one.  >

If they appoint Lyon and tell him no he can't choose certain assistants, can you imagine the chaos that would pursue!

On the silly side, what if Bolton applies and Lyon should choose him?

There are so so many ways to destabilise this situation, it's almost comical how it has been constructed.

Maybe but Lyon seems pretty desperate to get a senior coaching gig to me so not sure he would drive a very hard bargain immediately. Maybe he’ll to grind down the enemies over time. I can’t imagine SOS’s enemies being too keen on Lyon so there’s a rift straight off the bat.

Remember the rumours about some players questioning whether players were really injured or not towards the end of the year?

Cripps pulled out on match day against Port did he not.
Then snatched it against the Giants in the last week.
He was a late out against the Pies in R18 as well.

For a bloke who played with injections for most of the 1st half of the year, he certainly seemed to lose his pain tolerance once the review was started. Coincidence?

[Professer E]

Yep.  Just because he's contracted dont  automatically assume he'll be lining up for us R1 2021.
