Unofficial Preview Sack Hinkley 2: Septic Portaloo

[Steve Dore]

Unless Hinkley is a complete sociopath it’s my opinion he wants out and is currently angling for the biggest payout possible.

No sane person would want to stay in a job and an environment as toxic as it’s now become. It’s unhealthy.

Don't confuse extreme stupidity for a mental illness.

Sack Hinkley 2: Septic Portaloo

 

[finbarr]

Would this be the quickest a thread has ever made it to Part 2?

 

[JUSTWORK]

What part will we be up to by the time he is actually sacked ? (Or agrees to move on)

 

[AwwThatsApples]

Reason Ken hasn't been sacked yet?

He's on a contract for two more years that isn't going to be broken until hopefully the end of 2019 at least. The board denied breaking the contract and sacking him before the end of the season. Not to mention the player constantly talking about how much they like him.

I can’t be bothered checking but I reckon the Summer of George thread probably pips it.

I know you meant players, but it's really only Wines...you know, the guy that was made co-captain by Ken when he didn't deserve it.

Don't confuse what you hear in public with what players say in private. If Hinkley was sacked today, the players will be over it by their next training session. This is a playing group absolutely crying out for strong leadership and an effective game plan.

Talk is cheap.

Their actions tell a very different story.

I'm just going nuclear on these fu** wits on various Facebook groups that keep saying

"You're not a real supporter, go support the tingles"

"You've just got to stay positive"

"Why don't you go and coach/play"

"We've got a young list and we're re building"

"We've been unlucky and we'd be in the top 4 if we kicked straight"

"We've had a lot of injuries"


ps. Donna Hinkley needs to be added to the poll

i hope they choke on their Stroodle in the Audi Club and the Advertiser subscriptions pile up on the lawn

P.S. Not Really

 

[Portology]

There are hardcore hives around the place who are 100% all-in on the youth/injuries/tough competition/Richmond/Ken kool-aid.

It is seriously astonishing.

It is astonishing that anyone would be stupid enough to use Richmond as an example.

Richmond took advantage of our Choco/Hardwick sliding doors moment, to begin repairs after their Terry Wallet "Ken-like" half decade of consistent mediocrity.

The whole bloody point is that Hardwick took a long time to get the smell of Wallet out of the place, while coming up to speed himself and personally owning mistakes made along the way. Ken's trajectory has been the exact opposite, arriving with one set of ideas and after an initial bounce struggling to make things work the way he wants them to, all the while refusing to take personal responsibility for missteps.

On a separate note, to everyone: can we please leave Donna Hinkley out of all this?

You, I, most people here know that most of these people were nowhere to be seen up until 2014.

“Real supporters” pls.

 

[AFC AFeederClub]

I can’t be bothered checking but I reckon the Summer of George thread probably pips it.

the similarities between this club & George are scary, always trying but never getting anywhere, the Summer of George was meant to fix it all then fate shows up and puts him back in his place

 

[Tibbs]

The vultures are circling!

 

[Us against the rest]

Changed my mind.

I now believe Ken and KT will both depart Alberton.

And from a list perspective, they cleaned out deadwood and old guys like Vickery, Chaplin and Deledio while replacing them with Caddy, Prestia and Nankervis — supplementing their prime core of Martin, Cotchin, Riewoldt and Rance.

Port got rid of a pair of 25yos in Polec and Wingard, brought in a pair of declining players on big money in Rockliff and Motlop, and our core of Boak, Gray, Westhoff and Ebert are now 500 years old.

But nah, Peggy O’Neal didn’t fire Dimma so we will win a flag if we just watch the years roll by.

Their mentality is literally, “be patient you ungrateful little sh¡ts, dinner’s in the oven, and it’ll be ready when it’s ready!”.

A premiership under Hinkley is inevitable. It might take 10 years. It might take 30. But it will happen. It just will.

If these idiots have their way the club will be dead inside a decade.

Don't confuse extreme stupidity for a mental illness.

Being a sociopath is a personality disorders not a mental illness. Ken isn't ill. He looks medicated though.

“FatFaulkner youse was wrong!”

 

[finbarr]

Blighty is “a bit miffed” by all the speculation around Hinkley’s future.

Didn’t see that coming.....

 

[Ford Fairlane]

We all need to make sacrifices. KT and CD in a phone hook up with Kochie discussing how to fund the payout.

When even some of our fans talk like the list consisted of Nathan Lonie, Steve Brosnan and Jaxon Crabb before Hinkley arrived and furnished us with a team, what hope do dispassionate outsiders have.

I've actually seen them blaming millennials and social media for Ports downfall.

 

[FPPF]

It looks like we will need the voice some past players. The club don't take us seriously.

Tredrea seems to be the only past player making any noise, Wakelin has voiced an opinion on radio but we need these people that have played for the club to stand up, be strong and say what you feel, after all you are the people that wore the jumper.
As mere members and supporters, there is not much we can do but vote with our wallets and feet but that ultimately will hurt the club.

Can we get a link to what Wakelin said, or someone post what he said..
