Philoutas Goulderides.Reported again tonight in the show with the good sort whatever her name is. This is going to end badly me thinks. Bee sting melon will be the new Zorba of the West.

It pretty much confirms what everyone thought though.
Penrith went after Ivan simply because they feared losing his kid.
Both are overrated IMO (I do mean the Cleary's.....but take that how you want lol).
Penwith seem to think the Gouldster is overrated.

Over the weekend, Kent, speaking on Triple M, said the “unhappy marriage” had left Gould “disconnected from the club” after it was revealed the Panthers head honcho would be leaving on-field matters entirely up to the coaching staff in 2019.
“I think there are real potential for dramas at Penrith now,” Kent said on Triple M.
“Given the fact the general manager of football is basically disconnected from the club in what is now an unhappy marriage.
“Phil Gould has no interaction with the football club, players or the coach anymore. When Gould who for many years has been chartered with running the football operation gets overruled on who to bring the coach in, and the coach who he has not got in the slot has a poor start to the season.”
Exactly, a shocking decision from Penrith.I love the fact that Gould had Bennett signed, sealed and delivered and the Panthers management went behind his back and signed Cleary Snr.
This isn't going to end well.
Gould may be a lot of things (e.g. a liar), but he's won more than either of the Cleary's have in rugby league.
Gould has been GM at Penrith since 2011. In that time he has presided over the following first grade coaches:
Matt Elliott
Steve Georgallis
Ivan Cleary (x2)
Anthony Griffin
Cameron Ciraldo
They have a few Holden Cup wins and have built a new COE in that time, but still never really threatened to win the trophy that counts.
Assuming it is true, and not just another tall tale getting spun to preserve some egos... do you think that maybe after 8 years they might have a point in thinking he just isn't the right man for the job?
It could be true, but the first paragraph of the story is as follows
“An investigative report from NRL.com has revealed Phil Gould’s “secret” play to bring Wayne Bennett to the foot of the mountains.”
Does anyone really believe nrl.com is out there doing investigative reporting?
Couldn’t agree more mate. Still beyond me how highly Cleary’s kid is rated and Cleary as a coach. Typical nrl overhype garbage.It pretty much confirms what everyone thought though.
Penrith went after Ivan simply because they feared losing his kid.
