Pay was never going to be the coach from 2021-onwards. They left him there to scrap all the shit up.
He should of not received a one year extension last year, or as it is, let him finish this season off
This is a total waste of a year now. Fair enough if they had another coached signed up now who could use the remainder of this season to build for 2021 along with the offseason.
What now?
They sign Barrett and he comes in at November? Transfer window of half decent players is gone and what? Barrett work behind scenes with the Dogs? Absolutely not when he is full time at the panthers.
3 coaches in one year?

Panthers are second on the ladder and look really good this year.
They definitely have a chance at giving the premiership a crack.
By the looks of it, on and off field, the panthers are in order.
No way they release any player or staff member at this present moment to halt there march to the finals
Hey if Barrett takes the Bulldogs gig, and your Penrith, do you really want a future opposition coach hanging around getting in the ears of your players?
Though with him honouring the rest of the season with Penrith May speak volumes of loyalty and commitment in the eyes of new recruits.
The lessons learnt by Barrett at Manly May in fact have served as the apprenticeship he needed to have before knowing exactly what he needs to know and implement to becoming a successful 1st grade coach.
How to deal with a toxic board over his shoulder, who to have on his left and right to help him and what kind of balance of roster.
If he is awarded the job now and doesn’t come till next year, he’s got Within six months of planing and recruiting to think about.

I agree on the extension last year but it’s history. They did want Pay to finish the season but he walked out on the club what other option is there?
As you say this season is done I’m glad a new coach isn’t involved until 2021. You don’t want a new coach winning a spoon after 10 games with this below average squad which is very possible no matter how good the coach is.
They’ll have a new coach for 2021 within a month and I have no doubt at all they’ll be working on the roster for 21 straight away no matter what position they are currently in.

No i dont see it as a waste of a year. It would have been a shit year for a new coach with no money to spend. We only now have money. So if we get Barrett, hes going to have it a whole lot better than Pay had it, from the start.

I cant say Barrett has earned my respect as a coach yet, but im ok with him coming just so we can get moving on Step 2, get players. And it will be easier to get players if the coach is settled going forward. I still think players are what we need the most.

The scariest thing is giving Barrett $3m to spend

If we're stating the obvious this season was a write off before it began and we should be using this season to prepare for 2021. I mean things like playing players in the positions they're going to be playing in 2021 (I guess it's also dependent on recruitment, we should know where we're recruiting tho, we should of actually done a lot more recruitment before this point too) so we can already work and start on combinations. Another thing would be giving kids like Averillo and Wakeham a proper go.

Of course he's going to be working behind the scenes with the Dogs. Every new coach does that. He HAS to be doing that. If he signs, the next day he'll be on the phone to Cotric to try and get him over.
Penrith are not that stupid to assume it's not going to happen until the season is over. Whether they decide to keep him is another question but he will be actively involved in recruitment.
