Certified Legendary Thread Sack Hinkley 13 - Another Crack At This

[simba_]

on a football podcast they very briefly spoke of Erik Ten Hag and how much he sucks, and one of them was like "should he walk? in terms of protecting his integrity?" and the other was very simply like "nah, look how much he's being paid, would be a disservice to your family". it's that simple really - if any of us were coaching a team we hated for a decade and they were stupid enough to keep paying us, we couldn't turn that down, it would be fiscally irresponsible. that is why David Koch must be slaughtered.

100%. There isn't another organisation on earth that would pay our Kenny even a quarter of his current salary.

Can't blame the ****er for taking the coin.

Ken Hinkley should feel like stepping down because he should be under immense public pressure from the media. It should be absolutely savage, like it is for Ten Hag.

But here there's basically nothing, so he can just ignore the pressure and keep getting paid.

You can't even compare the two in terms of performance anyway. If Ten Hag accomplished the equivalent of how Ken has gotten the team to perform during the season in the league no one would even bat an eye lid.

The pressure for Ken should be there due to an inability to perform in finals which has been the case over the last 4 years in particular, in conjunction with holding the record for longest tenured senior coach in the one stint as coach without ever making the grand final (letting alone actually winning one).

They basically have the opposite problem. Ten Hag can't compete in the league consistently but won a cup, Hinkley coaches a good quality regular season team but can't win knockout games.

The problem we keep having is that the media are so poor at their jobs that we're in a cycle of being talked down because we can't win finals, then the media acting surprised when we win regular season games and calling Ken a genius, to changing their minds again when we bomb out in finals.

The 2023 contract extension should have already seen several people fall on their swords.

Kia Ora from Rotorura, NZ. As the locals would say, peke Hinkley.

Lol I was in Rotorua yesterday too. Random.

We could have come together to have a Sack Hinkley protest at Polynesian
