Anybody in the know have a clue when we will hear more about the new signings of Davey and Pele, the announcement of Ciraldo? Burton re-signing? Feel like I wake up each day waiting for this news but still nothing! Im very impatient lol
I thought Potter changed his tune a bit in the press conference leading into last weeks game. He mentioned being willing to coach other teams if it was an option. I think we've already told him he doesn't have the job.Gus did say from the beginning that we wouldn't look at getting a new coach until September.
That means Potter will get until seasons end to prove himself as a candidate, and if the Ciraldo link is serious then I won't expect an announcement until after the Panthers have finished their finals run.
My thoughts anyway.
If he doesn’t want an assistant role and Gus is really set on Ciraldo for head coach guess he may be gone. Personally not having Potter around and resetting the player to coach relationship by introducing a new figure isn’t the best idea considering what we’ve built. It’s tough if he doesn’t want to stay he is one hell of a coach to do what his done in a side that has played years of shite footy is phenomenal. Ciraldo with Potter assistant is our best bet tbh but Potter surely would take a head coach roll elsewhere over an assistant role here .I thought Potter changed his tune a bit in the press conference leading into last weeks game.

Great idea. Wait till we're playing the best attacking football for 10 years then sack that caretaker coach that brought it about for a defensive coach. I fail to see exactly why Gould is God in this. He has liked Ciraldo for years, so what. He sacked Hook for Ciraldo then Penrith Board went behind Goulds back and signed Cleary. If Ciraldo was any good, the Penrith Board would of confirmed him as Head Coach.If he doesn’t want an assistant role and Gus is really set on Ciraldo for head coach guess he may be gone.

If it was my choice I would make Potter head coach in a heartbeat over Ciraldo.Great idea.

So Potter was next man up here, Gould as clearly evidenced by his body language doesn't think much of Potter, and is having to death ride him till seasons end, hoping we lose a few more games, the lustre of Potter wears off, and he can anoint Ciraldo.
If I was a Dogs Board member and I have liked what I've seen at training and the smiles on the players faces on matchday, I'd want more of that Potter magic and I'd be negotiating a 2 year extension with Potts right now. No need to wait for Gould. The Dogs have their man and his name is Michael Potter.

Could well be a possibility.I thought Potter changed his tune a bit in the press conference leading into last weeks game. He mentioned being willing to coach other teams if it was an option. I think we've already told him he doesn't have the job.
Fitler or Slater?I think the coach has been signed, Gus always swings towards the media’s assurance, but he intends to shock everyone.
I will never leave out Shane Flanagan just yet. It’s seems Shane has calm down a bit.
Will just have to see the outcome. I’m not convinced Cameron Ciraldo is a done deal.
My only concern is would Ciraldo want a popular with fans, respected old boy coach who has turned around a boring, inept struggling team and is surely popular and respected by the players?The rumours doing the rounds is that Ciraldo has already signed the contract and Gus and him are waiting for the best time to announce. On Potter I have no idea, would be good for him to stay around, i'm sure Gus will be in Ciraldo ear making suggestions considering it will be his first head coaching gig. Warburton said a week ago he hoped it would be announced in next two weeks. So one week to go on that timeline.
If its Ciraldo, Gus probably trying to avoid the same media circus of the Barrett signing and affect on Pennies....he cherishes his legacy at that club.Death riding Potter had a good lol at that, as if....
Coaching announcement after our last game is that the most likely scenario?
