What would you guys do if the board didn't want you as a coach???.I know what i would be doing,negotiating with another team.
I think you miss the one GIGANTIC point.
We don't have to speculate who wants whom or not.
I won't have been sore at him if he left on his own.
The main sticking point with fans is that he tried to rip Manly apart.
Examples (no names mention but I know who they are):
- Abusing one staff for not going with him right in front of others.
- Sitting outside another staff's home for 2 hours trying to coerce him into signing with the Dogs while he's still Manly coach.
- Harrassing another to encourage him to go to the Dogs.
Imagine if he was successful in taking everyone with him.
Manly would have been but an empty shell and there were even doubts we would be open for business. Everyone was tipping us for our first ever spoon in 2012.
It's because many have stayed, that brought stability to our club.
It's also a blessing we have Tooves (a true Maroon and White man).
You can now stop defending Hasler because it's a losing cause.
As Arko have said,
"I’ve got no objection to Des (or anyone) leaving the club and going somewhere else if they feel that they can do better for themselves," Arthurson said.
"But if Des, or anybody else, is involved in decimating the club and pulling it to pieces, that’s when they get me off side.
"I spoke to Des, I rang him about it and I said, 'Des I’ve got no objection to you going to Canterbury if that’s what you want to do’.
“But I said, ‘I would hope you wouldn’t do anything to induce players or anybody else to leave the club'.
"He assured me he wouldn’t do that.
"I spoke to him again last night.
“He rang me and he denied that he has been doing any of this.
“What can I do but accept his word?
"It looks very bad."
He lied to Arko because those staff he tried to poached have already confirmed that being the case and we also know he was desperate to get Foran as well. He later got T-Rex instead.
He's just a down right dirty stinking liar and a two faced mongrel.
