Coaching Staff Past Coach: Matthew Knights - Finally gets his second shot - 5/5

[TeamHurley]

I find incoherent rants on bigfooty to be cathartic! ****ing NSW right faction. I bet they were behind the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79AD that destroyed Pompeii and Heraculeum. Was the NSW right faction on the grassy knoll in Dallas on that fateful day in 1963? I suspect so!

Knights wasted to much money on the mark williams scheme and the michael barlow rippoff.

 

[Shane Hird]

Thank #### for that!!

That has truly made my year.

Good luck to Knights. He had a go, had a 'vision', but sometimes things don't work out in the coaching world. Just wasn't up to it...

 

[Skids]

Rubbish. Weight that 800k against the lost memberships/sponsorships etc and they have saved us money. After the GROSS negligence shown by the predecessors in putting this dud in AND extending his contract, this board deserves a medal!

Aren't the negligent predecessors who gave Knights an extension the incumbents?

 

[Burzum]

Isn't some of Knights' salary incentive based so we won't be paying out the entire $800k?

Labor party has always been the party for the working class/bogan types hence Port/Collingwood fans.

Labor's a left wing party? Since when?

 

[steveyk]

jezzz
i hope all these bandwagon supporters are happy
now where do we go answer me that question. Yes knights was lacking the tools of the trade in some regard, but when we were on fire we played beautifully.
this is just going to unsettle our club and stagnate us for another 2-3 years.
congratulations some of you supporters. your irrational thoughts have furthered brought our club to our knees

 

[eth-dog]

lol wat?

Essendon are traditionally a conservative club, PA and the wobbles traditionally liberal (true meaning of the word). I think that's what it means

on topic- Choco Williams

Be gentle, we have someone who's stepped out of a time-machine from the '70's when labor was a progressive, left-wing party.

 

[Phil McCreviss]

Lol @ the Unfair Dismissal ad on this thread by Google. Did an admin do that? If they did, very clever.

on topic- Choco Williams

I counter that by saying Daniel Motlop

 

[horj89]

This comes as no real surprise. Best of luck to Knights As a few have already mentioned he had a vision but things just didn't work out.

Goodluck to who ever takes over. It will be an interesting 3-5 year period coming up.

 

[daffo]

I'm thankful that the board made the tough call early so it gives us the most amount of time to look for another coach.
Choco will be there next year.

I counter that by saying Jay Nash.

- Absolutely ecstatic
- Feel sorry for Knights, but that's the caper
- Fearful that we'll bugger up the replacement process again

 

[Burzum]

Re: So was it a big enough loss For Knights to get the sack?

I guess this thread can be closed now.

 

[ghostdog]

Labor party has always been the party for the working class/bogan types hence Port/Collingwood fans.

...so you should be supporting Carlton then?

I feel the same way.

i was watching this game and motlop was acting like a selfish idiot. when i saw williams defend him afterwards i was shocked. kids go the team option and get criticised by the coach.

Well how come all the electorates in the crap bogan suburbs of Adelaide were won by Labor candidates and the good suburbs of the east went to Liberal?
Anyway, onto the topic of Knights' dismissal.....

Knights voted Liberal.

 

[eastaugh36]

Knights voted Liberal.

haha, that would probably be the only thing I'd ever agree with him on!

NEW WORLD ORDER!

So "they're" behind Knights' sacking...

Well it all makes sense now.

 

[AndyLesPaul]

My only comment is that the Board needs to tread warily when appointing a new coach.

It is imperative that a coach is appointed who ticks all the boxes - Because we have a situation where the Coteries have a taste of blood - And they may act again in the future if they are unhappy with the coach.

Not happy with this.
