Oh no, another messiah in the offing??

Yep. Pressure on Teague unfortunately has just skyrocketed IMO.

Yep like I said previously Clarkson had Hawthorn by the short and curlies and Kennett had to roll over and give him the money, all that crap about seeing out his contract was just BS so he could push Kennett into a corner.
Caro was right all along which isnt often but this was all about money....I'd say the decision has already been made on Teague and I'd expect either Clarko or Lyon to be in the frame.
Clarkson will now field offers from about 4 clubs IMO and pick the best contract/lifestyle.....

Clarkson will have been extensively briefed by Bolton, so if he does come here, he'll know exactly what he's in for.

Which begs the question as to why he would actually want to come.

Clarko wants the money IMO, this is his superannuation contract, you listen to him and its about where he is going to live/lifestyle etc and football might not even be a priority. Does he want the pressure of Collingwood or Carlton for example?, could easily take take the Gold Coast job if offered and relax a bit more up Nth with little expectation other than to do better than Dew...
I'm sure we will be pitching though and if Caro is right again then we will have another Messiah to lead us from the wilderness....

I reckon Collingwood.

That's a good point.

Until we have a professionally run club that is united from top to toe and stable, this cycle will continue to repeat. If Teague gets chopped, he would have been in the job 2 1/2 years. That's following on from Bolton (3 1/2, sacked mid season) and Malthouse (2 1/2, sacked mid season). That's disgraceful behaviour.
