Bluemour Melting Pot XXXI - Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot! 🔥 🔥 🔥

[SA Blue]

Summed up 100% perfectly.

But no, it’s everyone else, never us that’s the problem.

Except no one was promised anything. Any evidence of it actually happening?

 

[AceAndy]

We wait. That's ok. None of this should be played out on a public stage.

Nah i am a now kinda of guy.

 

[WeninRome]

Could be, but what does this say about the quality of the process and the committee?

I think the rumour is that its not really a process. Again, optics. But, who knows.

 

[WeninRome]

I think we all need some positive news tomorrow.

 

[Beast__Mode]

Whatever stability was assumed to be provided by not moving on Liddle and Lloyd at the same time as Teague is clearly not being delivered, which would beg the question why there isn’t a press release tomorrow announcing their removal. Whatever promises were given re: graceful exits have now surely been superseded by this malicious leaking.

whatever ‘promises’ may have been made to Lyon, they can’t have been worth much if even he recognised Clarkson was a preferred (and sought after) option. And worth even less if scrutiny of his own behaviour in previous senior coaching roles was so intolerable to him.

 

[Magical_EddieBetts]

The media will make us believe that we are going into the 2022 season without a coach coz know one wants the job apparently...

 

[Magical_EddieBetts]

I think we all need some positive news tomorrow.

Yep Cook and Clarko announced

 

[swuzzlebubble]

But Ross was clearly the better option over Scott or Buckley. What would've been the point of running the whole coach selection process?

If enough members of the board had reservations in regards to certain things about Ross, they may have at least wanted a process to probe those aspects.

 

[ferrisb]

What a shambles. And that's being kind.

This is pathetic, absolutely pathetic.

WTF is Sayers doing (sorry the buck stops with the President in this instance).

We are Carlton. ****ed the reset...

 

[Brock Landers]

Sayers has been in the job for not even 3 weeks and people are already calling him not fit for the job as he tries to navigate the most difficult and challenging period our club has seen off the field in a long, long time.

Absolute tripe.

I suggest you check the facts. He has been on the board since 2012. Irrespective of the title he has held previously he has had hands all over this situation we are currently in. It’s simply unacceptable to promise the job to Lyon, allow him to public declare his want of the role and then change your mind and subject him to a process. He is just a continuation of what we have had for the last 20 years.

Or could be Cook & choko

Cook and Chris Scott maybe

 

[BlueGum]

Nah i am a now kinda of guy.

The now of Canberra?

 

[Zlatan]

Except no one was promised anything. Any evidence of it actually happening?

It’s the absolute clearest and most logical explanation for what has occurred.

There is no other explanation that works in the bounds of reality. Unless you think Ross couldn’t get through an interview with 2 people that think highly of him (Parkin and Diesel) and 4 dipshits.

You are allowed one more hour outside your house in 3 weeks?

 

[bluekidjoe]

Thy, thy, thy.... the old passive aggressive laugh react.
It's okay, I'm only a sometimes visitor and I have more than this in my life, so it makes sense to bail now and leave it for you and what suits you. Time to watch on from a far again. This place is well and truly not what it once was. Enjoy your echo chamber, bud.

 

[Ockhams razor]

2 weeks in and Sayers is learning what it means to be the chairman in a voluntary role. He is used to wielding power as a chairman in business - in those circumstances his colleagues have no choice and must fall in line.

As a new Blues president he has less actual power - colleagues leak, background and wield power. Yet, the sh*t stops with him and he gets the heat, and blame for every mis-step and **** up the club makes. Steep learning curve for such an experienced businessman.

 

[The Bighouse]

Yep Cook and Clarko announced

Cook wouldn’t be until next week at the earliest.

 

[DangerousD]

Given the ITK's running with "ross the boss" last Wed, it certainly appears that you're on the money.

They've got a whiff of what is going on and are trying to ambush it as best they can.

Sayers can't sack them yet as Cook will wait until the Cats bow out of the finals and a footy boss is pretty important right now given impending trade season and player contracts that need to be renewed etc. Whilst it would have been great to have them both gone last week, I guess they will be as soon as replacements are in place; however, until then they will probably look to unstable the place as much as possible and ensure that they keep their jobs.

Looks like a bit of Game of Thrones going on.

How do people believe this?

So Sayers just missed out on his preferred coaching target because Liddle and a Lloyd were on the coaching panel, but he will sack them in a few weeks.

Lloyd and Liddle will look to unstable the place as much as possible and ensure they keep their jobs?

How does that make sense? There was just a full footy department review, where the blowtorch was on their jobs, causing instability at this time, makes them look incompetent, causing instability when the eyes of the new president is on you, doesn’t help yourself cause.

 

[NewDarkNavyBlues]

No contradiction at all

If you promise someone a role of that nature, then reneg and ask them to participate in a full interview process, what confidence would someone have in the organization

No proof anything was promised Arrow. All conjecture

 

[WeninRome]

As I head to bed, I’ll leave you with a comment shared with my old man tonight. Who is a 70 old man, life long Carlton supporter and a 40+ odd year member. He’s not taking this well - “debacle”, was the word he used.

I just said, have faith, if nothing else, have faith. Sayers is no fool.

Good night all. Have a bit of faith. Don’t be a fool, Luke.

Liam Jones finished 4th in the Robert Rose Most Courageous Award.

The zero to hero story continues.

Love you Jonesy!

Cook wouldn’t be until next week at the earliest.

So Clarko tomorrow?

 

[AceAndy]

The now of Canberra?

The here and now
