Certified Legendary Thread Alastair Clarkson II - signs 5 year contract w/ North Melbourne 19 August 2022 - news breaks p360

[see see]

we do. always have

Except on match days when Scotts was our coach.

 

[Cyber_punk]

I would also just like to remind everyone that AS IT STANDS - we are now the only club left without a coach in the race for Clarko.

As if Essendon plays by rules..

Dont make me insert the Brad Scott pic....

"So if Clarkson has no interest in Essendon then he could come out right now and accept the job at North. The only reason to delay that announcement is if he's waiting on an offer from us."

*Off the bombers thread.

Kind of makes sense.

Or doing his own DD on us. Much of which wont look good. But you would think less worse than Norf.

They actually believe this shit.

Makes perfect sense.

There is nothing effectively stopping a decision other than him looking at other options.

If you can’t make your mind up after a month, in all likelihood you never will or are looking for a reason not to.

This is going to sound absurd, especially given my posting history , but I just had a chat with Sonja in the lobby at work. I had no idea we worked in the same building until this morning and my jaw dropped given I was up till 2am reading every bit of info on the clarko status.

I told her I was a big fan of her work - she was definitely surprised I recognised her. Asked who i supported and was pleasantly surprised when I responded with “North”. We went to get in separate lifts (the building has one of those lift systems that sends people in different lifts for different floors). Just as she got in she turned to me and said with a cheeky smile - “let’s just get through this week ”.

Now before you all go jumping the shark - this doesn’t mean anything substantial - but it was nice to see our President is as friendly in person as she has appeared to be on TV. I’m holding my faith and I reckon she’s a good operator #inSonjaweTrust

Link just for the lols

You bastard!

 

[Val Keating]

I'd say that given the soft cap, all clubs are in similar predicament and money won't be an issue here.

Essesdon can afford to pay the tax so I don’t think it matters.

 

[hilly]

We’ve spent over a month on the one guy. We realistically should be well and truly embedded on a coach search but have put the eggs into the one basket.

By the time we potentially start a coach search and go through the process we are nearing trade week with no coach and no recruitment department.

Any prospective coach would love a say on the direction of the club at trade time, so I’m not sure I share your sentiment that it’s all ok we have plenty of time.

I think you're repeating yourself there. The club is aware the Clarko search cannot wait forever.

 

[Del191229]

What if his first call today was to GWS to say no, and his second call is to us to say yep, done deal.

And then after that Hendo texts whoever is in charge in theory at Needle Park right now and says thanks for your enquiry, but [insert name of client] has accepted another opportunity.

 

[koshari]

I hope we have a Plan C……. Plan Chocco.

is choco a steamed or a fried man?

 

[Ligma]

YALL he just wants to make sure everything is in the right place before he signs the contract.

So did you ask her about it? Or was she speaking more generally about the week ahead?

Awesome anecdote too!

Pepsi Max can EAD.

This thread is so meta, turned my head at the traffic lights and saw this in a show window

 

[hilly]

Where the heck is this evidence of a soft deadline?! I'm convinced some nuff journo has referred to it and we're taking it as gospel.

 

[Danni_Benson]

you already know the plan b, it's gunna be a panel, multiple applicants.

Oh boy, just the thought of that lengthy process. Feel for the players not knowing by year end.

But of course it’s the only way to go if Clarko says no.

We’ve certainly given Clarko enough time. Enough time to let Essendon in.

Masterstroke by Clarko’s team stringing it out.

 

[bennymate]

 

[Cool Kangas]

Nah Sherm. I am DONE. Stupid footy

But seriously if you don’t want to be at north and you’re going to go so far as to choose Essendon shudder then good luck to ya and adios.

DEADASS SONJA HAS IT IN HER BAG.

i swear if she's had clarko living in her bag for the past week i will SCREAM

 

[BTRAIN2]

Just remember Clarkson isn't going to be the guy putting the ball through the two big sticks. Sure, he's going to help us but if we don't get him we'll all have dinner tonight, sleep, wake up, have a wank etc...life goes on

 

[TheBigHorne]

Alright so Clarksons is still under my control AND he will be coaching at Essendon which is unfortunate... for now...



Let's just say, an well known streak is going to continue at Essendon.
