Sorry people, I think Rothfield may be correct.
If true, that could be a good thing anyway from Manly's perspective. But I can't see him stepping straight into the Suppository-Wankstown job without putting noses out of joint over there.

I really think Phil R is just trying to stir the pot on behalf of his News Ltd masters and his old mate Peters.

I think Hasler will live to regret his decision. I also hope he falls flat on his face at Belmore.
 
Whatever happens with Des happens, but my worry is what about the support staff are they going/staying especially Noel Cleal. Its funny i know we bought certain players from clubs years ago that were internationals and everyone said we bought premierships. I cant ever remember us or anyone else buying a premiership winning coach and his support staff. That is effectively buying a premiership winning club minus the players i really hope the Dogs get tarnished with that moniker of buying premierships now.
Even if Des stays you can rest assured the media monkeys like Kent and co wont let this scenario play out normally they will pressure Des at every turn and print innuendo and lies constantly to unsettle us. If you think it was bad this year wait and see what happens next year. They will be saying Des is on the phone to Greenburg non stop signning players, etc it is going to be hell.

When we lose players next year, which will happen, it happens every year. I just hope none of them are to the scumdogs
 
Rothfield also has the following piece of drivel in the same column as his item about Des.

Premiers to shot birds

THE Manly Sea Eagles sure know how to party. Headed up by Brett and Glenn Stewart, the premiership-winning players turned up at Moonee Valley for the Cox Plate last weekend and were later spotted at Crown Casino, where one onlooker described their behaviour as "only just acceptable".

http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/whats-the-buzz-manly-sea-eagles-coach-des-hasler-could-switch-to-the-canterbury-bulldogs-before-the-season-starts/story-e6freye0-1226180271532

Looks like our club and the Stewart boys are still a long way from having any friends down at the DT.

On the plus side, the club has come a long way since 2008/2009 if this is the biggest dirt the DT can dig up on us. "Only just acceptable" - WTF does that even mean??? And who is this mystery "onlooker"? Sounds to me like it was somebody who wanted to say something bad about the players but couldn't actually fault their behaviour.
 
I know what you mean MADMARCUS, especially any good ones as most guys who have left in the past have left on good terms and made it easier. we didnt really lose anyone we wanted to keep exept for hodgo but i reckon Des already knew that cherry was better and let hodgo go. co-incidently the only one we did lose was to the dogs. the others like josh perry, glenn hall, mark bryant all ended up overseas so it was easier to take really.

I would say they behaved no better or worse than any other bloke of their age. last time i checked it wasnt against the law to be a little bit loud and messy when your had a couple of beers. Although some people in the Daily Telegraph would rather just get in the car and drive home when they get to that stage rather than make a fool of themselves.
 
If they had bothered spending more than 30 seconds investigating this they would have discovered that the manly boys were out celebrating Jason kings up coming wedding. Are guys not allowed to drink and have fun with the groom-to-be anymore?

Pretty piss poor journalism, even by the DTs low standards.
 
The Weasel in the Herald reported it as Jason King's Bucks Day and it included Steve Menzies, Chris Hicks and current Manly players.

Mind you, yesterday the Herald's main story was on the European Financial Crisis and Implications whilst the Telegraph focussed on Warnie being attacked by a Pigeon. Kind of says it all!!!
 
I love how how Rothfield states "by my information". This rumor about Des leaving early has been circulating over at the Bulldogs forum with other ridiculous rumors for a while now. He has obviously had a look over there and decided to print this ****.

Remember when he said that Ricky Stuart would likely be coach then a few days later, Toovey was announced? Don't believe this f***wit.
 
There is a saying that good news never made a newspaper sell, so they have to write something that will help sales, unfortunately for Manly we are in the firing line with all the crap that has been going on, it will pass. Manly will still be there next year and that's all that matters to me.
They must be getting hard up for stories when they published that Todd Carney wasted no time settling into the Shire with a foot-long lunch at Subway Cronulla on Thursday.
 
I don't, but my understanding is that Des is pissed with the board and vise versa. This we all know, and so it may well come to pass that the boiling point is reached either before or just after the beginning of the season. I note that a report in the Sunday papers a cabal of our rulers came together to map out a strategy going forward and Des was not in attendance. Perhaps he will orchestrate a sacking so the 'get out' clauses are triggered. Am I being paranoid?
 
Well the latest rumour i heard from david penna supposed cousin, is the whole support staff is gone, get this zobra get a job on bulldogs board + foran done deal and stewart considering option too me it was piss talk but who knows.
 
My information is that there are certain f,wits at the Daily Telecrap who masquerade as serious sports journalists but spend their time drinking themselves to a stupor and then getting into a car and driving. Of course we all know these people are the most honourable of citizens who would never do things like that.
 
So let me get this straight rothfield, Manly players were seen at a race day enjoying themselves and Carney was having a foot long at subway??? That is **** reporting! I want to know what kind of foot long it was.

Zorba or anyone for that matter, can only be elected by members of a club to a board of directors, people don't get jobs on a board, so that puts that whisper to rest, the last I read Zorba was considering running for the Manly board.

As to the others, we have been hearing these same rumours about since after the GF and at the moment that all they are, so why worry about something that might not happen.

When a new coach takes over, he is going to have the support staff he wants, we don't know what Toovey will do, there is an old saying a new broom sweeps clean and I am sure that will happen both at Manly and the Scumdogs in 2012.

Rothfield speaks through the hole he sits on.
 
For those who are old enough to remember we had another great coach who took us to 2 premierships in 3 years. He was Manly through and through played 129 games for us, Frank Stanton. When he left it was sad and he went on and coached Balmain and Norths with no real success. After a couple of year we ended up with another legend Bob Fulton. Now with Des going with a similar record we end up with another legend Tooves. Success will continue after Des I have no doubt. This club has more spirit and culture than any one person and there is no way any other club will be able to buy it. Thanks Des but time and people move on. You wont find the success you've had here.
