Football Department Review

[LP]

This isn't a shot at you GTC, but most footballers these days are nice. Back in the day you wouldn't let players from any team into your house.

Sellers is a goose. If your team mates are here today gone tomorrow, how can you build any kind of relationship, any kind of synergy ? If you have a losing mindset, how hard is that to break ? If you have a club that is trigger happy across all aspects of the football department, how can you give 100% to footy when you're constantly looking over your shoulder ?

Our players are not soft, they are not overpaid fat cats who are just chasing big contracts. Players have been coming to us for fat contracts and brown paper bags since the 60's. Our blokes have lost the winning habit, and have been witness to far too much instability and uncertainty, far too much list turnover, far to much coach turnover, which is why they play the way they do.

Yes, based on history our club doesn't get it, many fans don't get it.

They think footy is like working in Jack Elliott's era, The Wolf of Wall St model, where you just hire and fire until you find a Clark Kent as big as you who can get the job done at minimal cost and high profit.

Fans are completely wrong if they think a coach change in modern football is a flick of a switch, it's the exact opposite. In modern football a coach and list overhaul automatically consigns your club to another 5 to 7 years of rebuilding / team building. Another generation of talent thoroughly wasted.
