All very sad. Regardless of Des Hasler's choice to leave, surely he must feel the pain of the supporters watching the club lurch to disaster, and key staff bailing left, right and centre.
My good mail is he negotiated the deal, as many suggest, well before the semi finals. Once Manly made him the last ditch offer, it was already over. Not because he had signed, but because he had agreed to terms on a handshake. Des being Des, the deal was done then and there, regardless of what was to come.
His actions in leaving, and Canterbury hijacking en masse our key staff is sickening, the darkest day in our club's history (excluding the merger)
I will support Manly till I die, regardless who coaches them, owns them or thinks they own them.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out Des.....US versus THEM....Indeed!!!
