Opinion Sack Hinkley 5 - Lower The Blinds

[rignanv]

I listened to that interview and didn't hear that at all - thought it was the opposite. He's said over and over that Hinkley is contracted until next year.

The way I interpreted it was Hayes asked Richo a loaded question. Something like "Surely Kenny has done enough to be coaching in 2023?" Richo then mentioned how he's contracted for 2023. Cooney then asked something along the lines of whether we'd need to play finals. Richo then mentioned it being a performance industry but there's no point speculating. Basically saying we'll take it 1 week at a time. Maybe I was just in a good mood when I heard it but I interpreted it as Hinkley being gone end of year

After 10 years performance defiinately matters. I think that’s what this discussion is largely about.

It’s not like it’s his 3rd year.

..... Richo then mentioned it being a performance industry .....

Unless you work in the public service you work in a "performance industry".

The company I'm working for at the moment sacked their CEO a year or so ago for poor performance, measured by various KPIs, after only a couple of years in the job.

I have KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) to meet. The problem with Richo and his "performance industry" is that Hinkley's KPIs seem to be constantly being adjusted to ensure that no matter how poorly he performs they are achievable.

 

[Thunderer]

Sack Hinkley, I reckon.

Sounds like they might see how the next month and a half goes.

We have:
Dockers
Giants
Dees
Cats
Pies
Tigers

If we have genuinely turned a corner, we win at least 4 of those, sit at something like 11-9 or 12-8 and Kenny might get backed in to make finals and continue the momentum in 2023. If we lose 3+ then its clear we are miles off and it would be impossible to keep him on. That's my interpretation.

I hate this he might be still around next year... He's had more then enough chances.. he ain't a coaches dick... Sack the useless prick already.

You heard and interpreted correctly. Richardson was just throwing out the classic diversionary lines and batting away the questions as best he could without openly giving the game away.
Had either of them asked "We know Ken is contracted for 2023, but can you absolutely end any speculation surrounding his future right now by categorically stating the club will 100% be honouring that contract? Over to you, Richo".
The response to that question would have been interesting.

If the club had genuinely turned a corner you're not scraping home by a bees dick at home against Gold Coast.

Yep. We've basically had two good quarters all year (Q3 v Sydney and Q1 v Gold Coast). Outside of that we've been about 12th-13th tier.

They lower the bar to suit, so any KPIs are met and can't be disputed.

Yeah I'm just trying to interpret the club's position and I think its how they see it.

We should know a lot more after the Dockers game I think.

 

[Lefti93]

was optimistic earlier in the season but i don't think it's happening, this is reminding me of 2019 too much.

 

[Loony Juice]

Yeah not bad
This may be more accurate

 

[tribey]

The problem with Richo and his "performance industry" is that Hinkley's KPIs seem to be constantly being adjusted to ensure that no matter how poorly he performs they are achievable.

Keith Thomas deeming 2017 and 2019 as successful, and concluding that Hinkley was absolutely the man to deliver a premiership after each, was when the train left the station.

Cemented an unapologetic culture of mediocrity that will take years to shift, if ever.

It’s pathetic.

You are absolutely on the money with your comment re the public service and performance, or more to the point the lack of the `performance' part.
I have a couple of mates, (and got to know numerous others) from our friday night drinking sessions at the Sussex hotel back in the mid 70's to mid 80's, who all `worked' at the nearby state government building, and that place which had something like 300 plus employees, and was then vacant for years and is now apartments, was from what they told me, plus what I observed from their work habits the easiest gig in the history of easy gigs, put more simply it was bludge city, no enterprise that had to make a profit could have survived for any significant time at all.

The now non existent Public buildings Department was just as bad, my old man had 6 or 7 `tradesmen' under him for 20 plus years when he was in charge of maintenance at the Repat, and when I asked him how many did he need, his response was `2 or 3 capable blokes who know what they are doing', and when I said why don't you do something about it his response was always along the lines of `not rocking the boat ' with the PBD.

Interesting opinion, I’d like to hear your reasoning

 

[TazD]

Clarko caught stealing bricks. Greatest sign that he'll coach us next year.

 

[TeeKray]

Interesting opinion, I’d like to hear your reasoning

It's certainly a questionable view in light of the fact that he single handedly saved the club.

You can't be serious

Hopefully 1 week closer to his sacking.

SACK HINKLEY.

 

[dirty2]

Warming up... Sack hinkley.

 

[El_Scorcho]

I'm not that worried. Even the mediocrity endorsing losers running our club will sack him if we don't make the 8, and I don't think we will.

If he's here in October, I expect a transformational level of supporter backlash that will see not only Hinkley go, but Koch and Richardson as well. Organised protests as well as mass organised non-attendance or late attendance of games (everyone goes in at quarter time) etc. It'll be a wonderful time to be a Port supporter and we'll look back on it fondly.

You're dreaming or super optimistic?
Sacking Hinkley is a monumental task that no one in administration has had the courage or audacity to achieve.
Who could possibly achieve such a feat?
