Pay walked and refused a payout from memory. All class!
Yes he walked.
Not sure re: payout, but it wouldn’t have been a lot anyway, he left in July and contract was up in October.
Still, he was entitled to the money.

At this stage, Pay is in the same league as Bellamy & Bennett. lol
I am in no way a Pay apologist.
His overall team structure and how he got us playing left a lot to be desired.
But he jagged wins with the lots of Lewis, Holland, Priest, Lichaa, a broken Foran and the like in his squad.

If Pay leads this team - I truly do believe he jags a couple of more wins than where we're at now (maybe 1-2 more). But even that is not good enough.

Also up until K Moore we had never sacked a coach. The only club along with Canberra to not. Look at us now lol sack central..how disappointing. Sacked Des 5 years ago and seem to be in the same hole with much better players..

I look forward to the chaos either way
Yeah well , How many times in our modern history have we been fighting for wooden spoon ?

Sacking seems right

A few of us hated the signing off the bat.

The others got excited at the fact he wasn't Pay. Jist turned out to be worse than Pay.
Yeh true that. Pay was def better.
Our squad is good enogh to win more games IMO not top 4 but definitely good enough to be between 6 and 10.

We still have a bottom 4 spine, an elite coach might get us 9th-12th

Yes but chucking someone else in, who may be just as bad, could be far worse as far as our reputation goes with other coaches, player managers and players.

If we dont get that new better quality coaching staff we are back to square one results wise and lots of even more angry fans.

This has to be professionally handled and thought thru best practice for the club's sake.
Readingg media stuff today - 1. If club doesnt get a better a coach club will lose players and won be able to sign quality 2 if Barrett goes the club will lose players and wont be able to sign quality

Honesty, if Barrett gets sacked, regardless of whether he deserves too or not (personally I believe he has to go), who would believe another word Phil Gould says..after only two weeks ago endorsing Barrett as coach..

Gus is the biggest bullshitter in the game, you couldn’t believe anything he said even before this

Barrett quitting would probably be the best outcome at this point - he appeared completely out of ideas n emotionally drained during the press conference on Friday.

Whilst he has fallen well short as a coach some of the players efforts have been embarrassingly unprofessional and a reflection what the club doesnt need.

With Gus at the club as an adviser you cant blame the whole thing on Trent.
They cant inspire the best out of anyone while society is being wet blanketed by power tripping commies, fuck the precedents.
