Opinion Sack Hinkley 11 - Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest

[edgie]

The media, 2015, 2018, 2021, 2024 pre-seasons

'Port are one of the premiership favourites and should be playing on the last day in september after big off season recruiting'

The media, six months later

'Port are garbage, they were garbage then, they're garbage now, they have a shocking list full of holes, it's rubbish, and it's a miracle that master coach Ken Hinkley has them so high above last'

 

[ClintEastwood]

I still think it was worth of a book

Just a short-story bro. Not sure how I'd turn that into a book. But thank you.

What is the argument for actually keeping Ken these days?

Is it purely contract, the fact it is mid year and the hit to the soft cap we'll take? I mean lets hope he has no more than a 6 month payout attached.

Do we think we'll lose some players to trade outs if he was to go?

I can't think of any other valid argument for keeping him.


He doesn't get results, he isn't good for marketing, his presence is hindering our players. I mean what other argument is there?

'Who else' is certainly not an argument. It's a fear tactic to use on the ignorant.

Honouring the contract is about all.

And I get that from the board.

From my recent experience with the club it would by hypocritical of me to ask them to sack him as they gave him the extension and I believe people in a position of power or influence should honour a contract or offer they make, hence why I was dirty with the club for not fulfilling its offer to my Daughter.

I chose to voice my displeasure verbally, in writing and via cancelling our memberships.
The club has since taken steps to correct that wrong by sending my Daughter a gift and yesterday I had my Wife deliver 2 bunches of flowers to the Female staff whom I upset when it all went down.

Im not asking the club to reneg on its contract with Ken, I plead to Ken's conscious to do the right thing and voluntarily part ways on the grounds that he's achieved all he can at the club and give someone else a go.

Lets all move on without the hate so that we can all get back to loving our club and the game.

The disrespect shown to our supporters from the club administration and the media is atrocious

Job done.

If you're good enough to win 13 games in a row - with the only previous non Victorian team able to achieve this being the 2001 Brisbane Lions super team - then you're good enough to win a final.

This ex post facto bullshit about the list is a fallacy based on Hinkley's failure to get the team to perform when it matters. If we win those games, which the above suggests we were capable of doing, then nobody is talking about the list.

No coach was getting us a finals win with the state of the list in 2023.

Hinkley had ground the players into dust chasing his August contract extension. So the list was in a terrible state for that game.

But that's when I'm sat down folding my arms (or buying food, or still walking in, or --- more accurately --- not there at all)

Crazy times.

Then proceeded to absolutely shit on his players in the post Semi-Final presser like no coach I can remember in my time following footy.

"I can guarantee if some of the replacements played, the result would have been much worse".

He should have been sacked for that comment alone.

Does Eddie think we were booing the players? Because he then used an example that the coach would give the players a bake after the game.

Can everyone who sits near the dugout buy a donut and throw it, not at Hinkley, I don't want you kicked out, just on the grass near him?

I think it would be very cathartic for all involved.

Supporting port the last few years has increased my alcohol intake threefold.

Only threefold? May I suggest that you've restrained yourself rather impressively .

A contract is a promise to pay Ken Hinkley a certain amount of money, it's not a promise that he gets to coach us for two seasons.

It was a 2yr extension of a current arrangement yeah?

Wednesday afternoon and Ken Hinkley is still trending on X - no doubt the regime would see this as a groundswell of support for their man

IN KEN WE TRUST

 

[philreich]

Hinkley's coaching record

GC 13-0
STK 12-1
NM 10-2'

So he should.

And the 1 loss to the Saints was achieved via the most extraordinary accuracy in the history of the game.
