Official Dean Pay quits

[D.O.W.]

Wonder how my boy Thompson is feeling

flys across the world, isolates for 14 days, joins a sinking club, team losses on his debut, coach get sacked.

I’m sure he was aware of this scenario potentially happening..remembering he was contracted from next year, the conversation would likely have been “Chances are you will have a different coach, someone who can offer a bit more and joined by some astute signings”...

Let’s see if the story goes to plan!

 

[D.O.W.]

Least with Barrett they cant run the DNA line up the flag. board was backed into a corner by its own inaction and couldn't wait 18 months for Bennett, Bellamy or Flannogan so I would say its down to Hook, Barrett, Walters or that pommy coach.

I hope it’s Walters or the England coach

Who cares who we sign. They won’t be as shit as Pay

I would like to understand why the media has backed Pay here?

Nobody has even bothered to look at his coaching record? The players he has brought in? The development of players while playing for us? End of the day, I get that he inherited a tough situation, but he knew that before he came on. Why is he now portrayed as a media darling? Look at our roster on paper - it really is not that bad, it definitely is not a team that should be at the bottom of the ladder with 1 win. Look at some of the other teams in the 8 at the moment and our team on paper are better.

Yes the board is partly to blame, but I feel like because the board has shun the media out of all this, they have resorted to backing Pay.

Lots of smiles at Belmore today

But not from the players.

As long as the prick can bring some talent, cause fuck knows we have fuck all talent right now!

And that is exactly why Pay had little success.

The club has no heart and either do you guys. Hope your bosses dont throw you out to the wolves like Pays did...

If I wasn’t producing like Dean Pay was for over two years I would have been long gone two years ago. Can understand your argument to defend him but the guy showed nothing to give us any faith that he’s the guy. Become untenable and he had to go. Board next on the chopping block in the next 12 months

Is that you Mr Jackson!!

 

[KambahOne]

Well whoever is taking over as coach under this board I wish you luck
You’re going to fucking need it
Interesting times ahead

100%. You don't want to be back here in 2 years with your board factions "shooting from the tress" [as Paul Kent put it] if Barrett doesn't have immediate success.

 

[Haddaway]

And that is exactly why Pay had little success.

And he wasn't very good.

 

[berries1935]

also think a major factor was the lack of signings for next year... I get the feeling new players didn't want to play under pay ??

 

[Novocastrian]

Wonder how training is going right now..

Probably as good as it has been all year

 

[GA45]

And he wasn't very good.

That had more to do with it

 

[Chris Harding]

I don’t find it random although I’m not a huge fan he is an attack minded coach something we desperately need help with and has connections with players potentially coming here

Could he start by attacking the Board?

eh, we clearly have the worst spine in the league. with our 1m dollar man on the sidelines for half of it (which was a problem waaay before oay was coaching). The development of players i agree with, little things like support play has been non existent which should be getting banged into them. But this whole saga has been a mess and that's the board's fault

 

[Haddaway]

That had more to do with it

Yeah I'd say so.

 

[c-b-b]

But not from the players.

There'll certainly be some players unhappy.

Those who chose their position like Reimis Smith, others that didn't put in the required effort and some that might be shown the door.

Hopefully if the right coach is chosen we won't see that crap anymore.
