No Oppo Supporters St.Kilda sack Brett Ratten

[crasha301]

Lol Tom Brown

Also great timing by club
Not a lot of media on tv or radio to give the sacking oxygen…would be frustrating for journos…

Can't see tom brown going out and door knocking in this weather, smart play saints.

Is Pyke the one with mega millions in commercial endeavours and said he doesn't care about a job in footy?

 

[tomjoad]

Yze would be the media front runner but I'll go left field and say they get Ross the Boss Part Deux: Electric Boogaloo.

This could be very real. Watch Roo & Joey pump his tyres

 

[tominator8]

It’s only a six month payout now.

People are making too much of the recent re-signing.

We had a review, we confirmed he was crap, we wielded the axe.

This is the way to do it, no messing around and we move forward as a club with a better coach.

Where are you getting this 6 month news from mate?

These media **** wits are gunna do my head in with that narrative … I think our list is decent

I look at how Melbourne went to the next level and it’s when may lever Oliver etc joined petracca and Gawn as all Australians

Who has the potential to be an AA next year ? In my opinion it’s possible for any one of Steele Sinclair Marshall king Higgins Wilkie Howard Gresham

Some more likely than others but if 3-4 of those elevate to that status we make the 8 easy

 

[stavro#4]

The timing of the decision will heighten speculation that the Saints may have already set their sights on Ratten’s replacement.

Contenders for the role could include club great Lenny Hayes

New chief executive Simon Lethlean will have to own the decision. As the club’s football boss before taking on the new role, he would have played a role in extending Ratten’s contract when the club surged to a strong start to the season.

What a f’ing ride being a football supporter,
I feel for you guys, hope it works out for the best.

playing blinder and saving us, he wouldn't have half the wins on the board.

Best decision the club has made in decades. 1 membership saved with this news.

 

[Saint Shags]

Is Pyke the one with mega millions in commercial endeavours and said he doesn't care about a job in footy?

No he's the one that likes to hold team bonding pre season camps.

 

[PandaG]

100% this. It's a massive waste of money.

Meh
Only 6 month pay out.
Rather that than lose games memberships and talent
His game day coaching was amateurish and the little insights we got when he spoke with the playing group was almost embarrassing at times

 

[sasaint]

Untried - Yze McVeigh Lade Harvey

Recycled - Lyon pyke Buckley Hird Rutten Bolton Noble Leppitsch

Take your pick.

Hird

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Maybe you knew something trying to trade for some future 2nds and thirds

 

[Winmar2Lockett]

We got development.

We had no one in control of list management

Ross back & throw the chequebook at Jason Cripps as List Manager.

See ya Gags & Rath can probably jog along too.

 

[Sun Ra]

SEN opening up the lines now to Saints fans. Some w***er called Marcus is kicking things off ......

 

[stavro#4]

All I know is, if some second rate skid mark like Lade Hird Bolton etc gets the gig.


I’m done.

A tweet you could expect from good ol Ralphy

I'd kill for simpson but won't happen

 

[PandaG]

Finnis ticked it off.

Of course he did
Same guy who ticked of Richo so many times
Reason Finnis was moved on
Same as Lade
Same as Ratts

Nice guys - No good at running a footy club

 

[PowerBaz]

Call Ken!

Was this even on the cards? Crazy, I figured he’d be there for the next two seeing as he just signed.

Would you have someone lined up to make this call now?

 

[stavro#4]

I'd kill for simpson but won't happen

We won’t be poaching someone in a senior gig.

 

[triggering bro]

All I know is, if some second rate skid mark like Lade Hird Bolton etc gets the gig.

I would take Hird in a heartbeat. Couldn’t give a shit about his past indiscretions. He’s a competitive beast with ultra high standards. Bloke doesn’t know how to lose.
