Certified Legendary Thread Sack Hinkley 13 - Another Crack At This

[El_Scorcho]

Well in their defence they've done a lot. They have pretty much moved every chess piece available to them outside of the senior coach. Their determination to stick with the status quo on that front is literally the reason they will never win anything as it currently stands.

Every good chess player knows that quite often a sacrifice is required to put yourself in a position to win.

Koch, Restas, Cardone, Osborn, Hinkley, Davies, Cripps and Parker have all been at the club for a decade or longer. That's insane for a successful club, let alone one in it's least successful era in 154 years.

There are members on the Board who are genuinely miffed as to why the Club hasn't been able to win a premiership under this regime.

How ****ing dumb are they? Do they actually watch our games? They probably spew out the 60% win loss herp derp.

We have no power to remove these ****ing idiots and they've been around for way longer than in reasonable for sports club board members.

And I mean, who could blame them?

Ken Hinkley is just so damn charismatic and handsome.

Every time he opens his mouth I’m hypnotised by the wisdom that springs forth from his golden tongue, and rue the fact that I could shadow him for a quarter-century and still wouldn’t know one-tenth the things this man does about football.

In your defence, one tenth of nothing is still nothing .

They don't want us as supporters. Fair enough, I don't want them as a club anymore

Yep,they don't want anyone from the magpies days,we expect premierships,the new breed are ok with not being last, occasionally making finals ,that's ok,I stopped membership and going to games many years ago,I'll never go to another game, barely able to even Supporter the club anymore,it's really just more the fact I've been doing it so long it's just a habit that's hard to break.

But any club that has Ken as its senior coach doesn't seriously care about winning a premiership on their watch. Either that, or they're delusional and incompetent.

Also Ports:

Quick, trade Houston for a packet of chips, and make Cam Sutcliffe development coach of 2 groups.

The club really doesn't feel any outside pressure at all, going by Richardson's reply email to me.

They feel so insulated behind the walls of Alberton, along with the media protection racket, the silence from past players, coaches and previous custodians of the club.

I'm struggling to understand what this club stands for, nobody seems to care, the only person I have heard speak out about Ken besides Tredrea was Chocco Williams, when he said (I don't know how Ken does it, he has the Adelaide media eating out of his hand).

As far as Richo is concerned, the players are 100% behind Ken, membership is up and we should all be excited about 2025.

We will never get the real Port back again, I am now convinced of that.

I am being a little greedy though, they delivered those 3 premierships in the last 5 years, how ungrateful can I be.

They stand for earning enough money to live comfortably. Thats it.

We're so miffed that we haven't won a premiership after 12 years. What else can we do to give Ken the best opportunity to win one?

Imagine where the club would be if they were stoked with Ken.

It starts with a love for the club and the values that it holds, that is, doing the most to win and if you can't, you are moved on. You are willing to sacrifice for the good of team, even at your own personal detriment. Why? Because you love the club.

At the moment, we have a group of selfish people who refuse to sacrifice for the good of the club. It starts at the top with Koch and this filters all the way down to the boot studder.

Without the love of the club, they will keep their jobs and never do the right thing by the club and only for themselves. The rest is just BS and propaganda.

Your source runs hot and cold.

How can you know that members of the Board are miffed but not know why?
