How are they comparable? One is a coach that has run the team into the ground and is deliberately not playing our best youngsters. He's proving more and more by the minute that he's not a FG coach and is doing more harm than good..
A late friend of mine was a Federal Govt Minister, a few decades ago. He told me a story of a visit he made to New York. Reporters interviewed him at the airport. The Archbishop of Canterbury arrived at the same time, so both were interviewed in the same room. He told me that the big story in NY was illegal brothels; so the reporters asked the Archbishop - "are you here to deal with the brothels?" - as if he'd know what the story of the day was. Surprised by the question, the Archbishop said "are there brothels in New York?" The headline next day read - "ARCHBISHOP SAYS, SHOW ME THE BROTHELS"Baffles me why anyone would ascend that paywall with their hard earned too.
Yeah, not surprising.

What about a demotion to assistant coach?
Well, on Monday we’ll finally see whether that combo of coach and player (not exclusively of course) can deliver a much needed shot in the arm with a win.
Pretty rare for anyone to accept that I think - such a loss of face for the individual - unless they’re made of Teflon and so eager to remain at the club because they don’t want to do anything else.
Now you are just ignoring facts to suit your narrative.
OK. Let’s see if the Tigers make the Top 9 again as they’re so good at doing in recent years.
Assistant coach is better than unemployed though
Sure - so depends on how any individual feels about that. Often though a public demotion is just too humiliating.
If Pay is stuffing up as a Rookie coach.. isnt also part of the clubs responsibility to support him and make sure they do their best to support him..
Jim Dymock did (tongue firmly in cheek)
People making decisions at the club are ultimately responsible for this, even me not being a fan of Pay can see that they haven't done enough to support him. I personally don't think it would change our football all that much, Pay simply isn't good enough and you can't micromanage all the things he does.
Any coach in any sport has the freedom to choose the team he wants on a weekly basis, and will have his own methods by which he makes those decisions. Pay has show that he is a loyal person, and He wants to give the players a chance to redeem themselves. But the issue for me is that this very same team was comprehensively beaten, out enthused, and embarrassed 2 months apart, but in 2 consecutive games. I honestly expected the boys to be pumped for the last game, but they were meek as fuck!!! So as far as I'm concerned, they had their chance and failed. It really is time for new blood.
He barely even had that on Sunday. I have never seen him so completely deflated!!!
