Certified Legendary Thread Sack Hinkley 12 - Finals Are Scary

[El_Scorcho]

Nup 3 months later it will be Ken Who?

3 days.

90% of Hinkley backers will agree that the club made the decision at "the right time" the second he's sacked.

If it's framed as Hinkley stepping down, they'll say that it was "at the right time and he knew he'd done all he could and set us up well for the future".

The idea that there will be any backlash at all is pretty funny. The biggest backlash will come from these people reacting to the rest of us celebrating on social media and rubbing it in their faces.

It just perplexes me why Port management persist with such a failure of a senior coach after 12 seasons. This is why they should also resign from their roles too.

 

[El_Scorcho]

I agree, but 12 years is a long time and rightly or wrongly it will be traumatic for the club in the immediate

The club needs it's boat rocked pretty significantly. Hopefully a few others fall off.

Look if the dud is at the best and fairest without a farewell speech then it isn’t happening. Then as supporters / members the decision is in the individuals hands. 2025 will be the same as the last 12 seasons.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !

This is the thing. We've all known Hinkley was a bad coach for like 7 years.

Some of these idiots gave him a contract extension just 13 short months ago. Are any of those people going to be held accountable? lol. If i can get to the AGM and there hasn't been significant change, that'll be the question i'll be asking.

Chewy disappearing at this juncture is giving me strong Lyle Lanley vibes

(jks jks love you Chewy)

If I didn't know the situation better I'd be suspecting it was more like the famous Alex fake death from the Crows board.

Kenny has a job to finish.

Uninstalling the blinds to take back to Geelong?

Hope your birthday presents are shit

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

There's actually nothing more Ken like to announce his resignation, but still get paid out and then make the B&F about himself.

[Janey]

I am panicking.

So am I, just trying to make myself feel better.

 

[PowerLil]

Everything he's ever said and done confirms he will never step down. The complete arrogance and narcissism of the man is endless.

And act like a martyr for getting paid 800k to do nothing for 12 months.

Anyone telling you he's staying or that he's gone is lying.

No decision has yet been made, and won't be made until after the coaching reviews.

I think you're right and the B&F is as late as it would be announced. If we haven't heard anything before that there will be record numbers streaming it and waiting with trepidation to hear something.

Ok and before the B&F on Friday, Chewy?

 

[Jojay]

I am panicking.

Chewy always said any announcement would likely be end of this week.

 

[Ported]

Gotta keep emphasising that the most selfish thing Ken can do is stay at the club next season and burden the playing group with his extra pressure

 

[Chewy316]

That's the logical deadline but I keep asking people about that being the deadline and everyone has kept it open to be a possibility to go on even longer than that.

I can't sit in a puddle of pee for the week such is the pants wetting!

 

[philreich]

Kony sucks

To be fair, getting yourself suspended after less than 12 hours on bigfooty is quite an achievement.

 

[Waspy79]

Carr is hanging around Adelaide for family reasons. Is that the type of ruthlessness port should seek in a head coach? That just reeks of a bloke cruising to me. He’s happy playing second fiddle to a spud.

Ok cheers bud

 

[Willsy10]

Do you think he'll accept the assistants job at Bell Park?

Yeah bloody oath, they said Bell Park's got nuffin left, Kenny says be stuffed we've got nuffin left.

Worked for that Centrals coach whose name escapes me
