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
