What the hell is it with Manly and factions and how do we ever get past it?
Obviously the most damaging faction shoot out has been ownership and, while that infighting is apparently done and dusted, it does feel like the lingering stench of that particular faction war is still damaging the club.
Word has it that the faction war was the undoing of Toovey when he backed the wrong horse.
Now it seems we have factions once again tearing the club to pieces. Firstly there’s the Fultons vs the Hasler lot. Then there’s the apparent split between the playing group - and don’t tell me there’s not one.
Others say it’s Tartak vs everyone else but the whole player manager thing might be a problem in many clubs.
What on earth can be done about this stuff?
If it was me I’d turf out the lot of them and start again which may or may not be why I’m not running an NRL club.
When I was teaching it was dead easy to find the leader of the damaging faction and just white ant away at them but of course that wouldn’t work out for a bunch of so called adult, so called professionals.
I’m interested if anyone can see how our club, so deeply tangled in these factions, can ever get ongoing clear air.
Anyone?
