You know what... the more this reform happens the more you have to question.. Is Dib fixing up the problems of others, or his own mistakes?

Guys. This is Dib DNA overkill. The football manager is merely in charge of logistics. Making sure players know when training is, arranging travel, accommodation, team lists to media etc etc. They don't recruit. They don't coach.That's why some of you have never heard of Thompson. It's a nerd role.

They also make sure all the jerseys are clean :p

But in all honesty I never rated Thompson. Would have been good to have someone like Kevin Moore back in the fold as the manager because he was a smart operator and I'm my opinion made ever call correctly in terms of recruitment and retention (look where idris is now).

Maybe Farrah is saving himself from potential non re-election.

Perhaps both. Everyone has been blaming him for the debacle we are in, even though no one knows exactly who made which decisions. but for me, even if he had something to do with our current situation, and even if he is only trying to save his job now, i think he has made some really good appointments of late. Im not giving the guy a glowing review, but at least he is trying to recrify what many have claimed are his mistakes by appointing pay, giving farra the football manager job and trying to bring back our lost culture. Well done i say.

The good thing is he's making the changes quick and affective. rarely clubs can make good changes like that in a short period of time and bring the club on the right path unless they have a strong board. Dib ain't perfect but he gets the job done. Expect more positive changes.

Just need Billy Johnstone now to complete the rebuild. I can feel the stars aligning in 2018 and beyond.

Actually, Thompson was employed as a high performance manager, designed to bring in cutting edge performance enhancing systems to footy on the back of his role doing something similar in swimming. Can't say he was successful though.....

What about 2002? I remember being so confident & cocky during our streak and the we got busted haha
I still hurt from that. Especially as the other clubs in the eight would have all been doing the same; they just didn't have a whistle blower in their ranks.

Popular choice, the former Steelers coach knows how it works and will work well with Pay, things are slotting in well at Belmore.

Bit of both probably.
