Perhaps his $800k a year was on the back of the 02-03-04 crowd figures on field performances and ultimate Premiership success? His currect contract was signed in 05, Port were in pretty good on-field shape then as reigning Premier. Off field I'm not sure Mark had much to do with what was going to unfold over the coming years.
Short memory.
Not a short memory at all as I wasn't referring to his contract earlier this century, I would have thought a contract for the future would be based on what you're going to do, not what you had done in the past.
I can only assume he either:
a) lived up to that contract or expectations set by the club hence why he's been offered a new one
or
b) didn't live up to his contract/expectations and has been rewarded with a new contract for failing.
Either way the Power business is completely incompetent.
I don't really mean to be criticial of Mark. If I was completely incompetent at my job and got rewarded for it I'd take everything my incompetent employer gave me too.

Mind you if most employers made decisions like that and weren't making money they'd be wound up and rightfully so.
