By the sounds of it, he’s already got one foot out the door while we’re in the middle of our finals run. This fat snake can’t gtfoh soon enough.

Hi Chewy just got back from a few days back home in the west where the ken to west coast rumor is still floating around and people I spoke to had mixed feelings about Ken potentially moving to west coast. Some thought he would be ok some thought not. I certainly think if he made the granny or even win it he would obviously be safe at Port but he would then be even more desirable for west Coast who may make him an offer he can't resist and leave port anyway your thoughts?
Nothing that Chewy hasn't already told us.
Despite my frustration with Kens recent finals form, I’m still willing to give him one last chance this year.
On the post above, it’s now obvious that it’s the senior coach, the head of football, AND the board. Everything else has changed: players, assistants, CEO. The board, being above all, is the main culprit.I don’t know who Slobbo is, but why is he talking about this NOW? It took me a few months SEVEN YEARS AGO to realize the issue.
I couldn’t know the actual cause, but it’s not hard to raise the hypotheses. It’s ALWAYS a leadership problem. It doesn’t leave many suspects: captain/leaders; coaches; front office; chairman/board. That’s it.

There are a few things that need to be parsed out.People are treating this as "if Port make the prelim, Ken stays".
I'm not sure it even really says that, but more importantly I think Tom Morris doesn't know shit. I think the only way he might see next year without a GF is if we lose that prelim by less than a kick.
Noticed this with FaganAFL coaches will always back Hinkley and defend him in the media because he's the poster for stability and achieving nothing which can be used in their argument to keep them their own jobs

I think Will Schofield is a pretty good source for West Coast info and he seems to think Steven King is the man hence the wait until Geelong are done.I understand why people would ask the simple question of why anyone would want Ken Hinkley as their coach - specifically West Coast?
At the same time, West Coast have had more than ample time to line their next head coach up, and they appear no closer now than what they were over a month ago.
If they wanted a coach who was either not currently in the AFL (like Hird), or an assistant who did not coach in the finals, they could have done the deal well and truly by now.
Assistants who are coaching in the finals do not have to wait until their season is over to jump ship to another team, so they too could have been done.
However, if they are targeting a senior coach who is currently coaching in the finals, they have to wait. The only two logical people based on contract situations who fit that criteria are Bevo and Hinkley.
I heard around a month ago from a well connected player agent with no benefit to gain by releasing this info to me, that there was more than just a little smoke about the interest from West Coast in Hinkley.
It beggars belief that any team would want Ken after his latest failure on Thursday in conjunction with all the other failures. But that is beside the point - if a team is going to offer a long term deal, that's Port's good fortune, saving potentially 900k to ensure the footy department doesn't blow its soft cap next year, not to mention getting Ken off the books, sign me up.
FWIW, it won't take West Coast to offer him a deal to get him off Port's hands. Port are prepared to sort out a pay out even if West Coast don't come for Ken.
I hope I'm right too. I can't speak for everyone at the Club, but there are people at the Club who are directly involved in the decision to keep or sack Ken (and I may or may not have spoken to them), and these individuals want him gone even if the Club makes a prelim.
Say Port loses this week and Ken is given his marching orders.I think Will Schofield is a pretty good source for West Coast info and he seems to think Steven King is the man hence the wait until Geelong are done.

How can I watch more things from him?
