Strategy Our Next Senior Coach: 2019 & Beyond... is Matthew Nicks

[GreyCrow]

For the last time. Matthew Nicks will coach the AFC in 2020.

So why the delay in naming him?

 

[dogs105]

For the last time.

Thank **** for that

 

[Trigger13]

We heard you 653 times ago.

Well, my source better be right then. I’ll pipe down now

lol...and what if he doesn't? no one will give you credit if he is indeed our next coach, you have flipped a coin.

Or back under a rock

 

[Hang_Time]

Been plenty of rumours that the results of the review will be announced tomorrow.

Bad news Friday good news Monday

 

[Brett Cummings]

That would be hot garbage.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Rowie also said it will be announced any time of the week that ends in day

smells like Rowie is just riding off what Roo has already said in terms of timeline

 

[Trigger13]

Thank fu** for that

I sense a little frustration in this board.

Or back under a rock

Never. Ill just never trust me source again.

 

[JimmyTheScoop]

I'm hearing press conference tomorrow. Not sure if related to coach, review or both.

If anything would be review, as Bicks just said new Coach, next Wednesday.... waiting for trade period to finish?

 

[Morning_Fog]

According to Rowe, announcement Wednesday.

I call bullshit.

Hypothetically it is announced next Wednesday, I doubt they have even appointed anyone or have a person set in stone.

That is still 6 days away. If they have appointed a senior coach today and drawn up a contract and expect it to stay a secret until next Wednesday, they have rocks in their head.

I would be expecting a 1 to 2 hour window between telling someone they have the job and announcing it. Stuff like this gets out very quickly and judging the past, the Adelaide Football Club want to control the narrative on every story and release information their way.

6 days is way too long to keep this appointment a secret. I strongly believe Steven Rowe isn’t correct on this case.

The club knows who the coach is.

 

[Morning_Fog]

The club knows who the coach is.

Maybe but the person who will become the next coach doesn’t.

 

[pjcrows]

Maybe but the person who will become the next coach doesn’t.

I'd suggest he does.

 

[Morning_Fog]

I'd suggest he does.

Why not just announce it?

 

[loujay]

Unlikely that there will be an announcement next Wednesday as its the final day of the trade period and the way things are going most of the crows trades will occur Tuesday and Wednesday. Any coach announcement would get lost.

Maybe announced Monday but using Chapman’s 14 days at the b&f and Reid’s 10 days on Monday may not be till next Thursday

 

[Brett Cummings]

Because roo and co like to be ****in annoying.

This makes sense, and that we’ll want to manage when we release the info. But my suspicion is that once we have our man, leaks will start coming thick and fast and we’ll be forced into an early announcement.

To annoy you!

But seriously, there are a lot of reasons. Obviously the findings of the review need to be announced before the coach does. Then there are other things to consider, such as the assistants or the rest of the football department. The coach may have been given time to put his own coaches together, or he may need to discuss this with people.

I'm in the minority but I'm totally fine with the process and the time it's taking. I'd basically lost faith in the club's operations but this is being done correctly.

Agree to disagree. I don’t think they have even appointed anyone and when they do, an announcement will be made right away.

I don't mean to be a d*ck, but that's not really how it works.

Why don’t you tell me “how it really works”

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Why don’t you tell me “how it really works”

Last time we hired a coach, the club knew who their candidate was for ages before it was announced. I'm pretty sure one of the other applicants was even frustrated by this. Can't remember who exactly but somebody complained that it felt like their interview was a complete waste of time because Adelaide already had their man.

Even robert harvey would be better than nicks.
