It’s a democracy of course but I don’t agree with either - especially Flanagan. I’d vote against any Bulldog board who proposed employing that grub. I’d prefer to find a next generation coach than employ a more than once cheat.
Agreed mate, options are limited, we either stick with Pay, take on another rookie coach or target and pay a heap for a big name coach. For me, Bennett looks a better option than Pay or a rookie coach and for Pay, no shame in dropping back to an assistant role and learning from Bennett for a few more years. He could potentially inherit a very good football team in a few years with some development of exciting rookies and quality recruitment While Bennett May have lost his ability to attract players which is another debate in itself, I believe a few more players would agree to play under a Bennett lead Dogs team than what we currently offer. And then we also get into the debate that one or two players agree to ply under a quality coach for less, giving us extra coin for better quality players across the squad. Anyway, that’s just my view but I’m married and I’ve already been wrong atleast 10000 times already today
Completely agree with Flanagan. Really hope we're not that desperate to bring him to the Dogs.
Better than Pay. But hopefully their are other options too
Thank you mate particularly for the last point you made, I'm 76 and I would add a few more zeros to your 10,000, and off to work now.
I am a Bennett fan and enjoyed his book. But I would want the fifty year old Wayne that could build a club into something and not the Dessie version at 70 that would come in like at the Knights and try and fluke a 1-3 year premiership at the expense of another 5-10 year shitfight for the club..
He's got to be prime candidate for first coach to succumb to the Covid-19.
Completely agree with Flanagan. Really hope we're not that desperate to bring him to the Dogs.
However, with Bennett ... if he were available I'd really want to see the club go for him. At this point we need to improve the playing group. I think no one would argue against that. As it seems, we'll be in a decent financial situation when compared to other clubs with the amount of contracts ending etc. Whether the salary is reduced or not, we'd still be at the top of the hill when it comes to ability to buy players.
The issue is whether they'd want to come here. Now, maybe Pay fucking kills it the rest of the year and we become a force. Great if it evenuates, but seemingly unlikely. Bennett on the other hand would be able to bring a world of experience and a MASSIVE attraction to different players. Imo it'd be nuts for us to pass up on the opportunity to sign him to once again start with a 'next generation coach'. I'd prefer the 'next generation goach' to start under Bennet and take over in a few years.
Let's be honest though. Bennett isn't coming here ... nice to dream though
So you'd stick with Pay or start all over again with another unproven coach? Each to their own mate
Thought you needed a pulse to contract covid.
