[Latte Lad]

Yep, great appointment by the club. Marshy is a great club man too, and will still have an active role off field me thinks.

Hmmm, very interesting...bloodless coup ?

PAOC FOOTBALL CLUB ANNOUNCES COACHING CHANGES FOR 2010

Following the record-breaking result this year the committee has been working towards the club’s entry into Division 3. With the AGM looming followed by the silly season, it won’t be long before summer training is underway.

In the meantime David Marsh has advised the committee that he has decided to step aside as coach of the A Grade. His decision has been influenced by a number of factors, the most critical being additional commitments to his business. David was unsure whether he would have sufficient time to focus 100% of his energy on the coaching role next year.

The news isn’t all bad though as David has confirmed he wants to remain involved with the club and has expressed a desire to serve on the committee in 2010. This is fantastic news as someone of David’s experience will be an asset at club management level.

For the first time in our history the club found itself in Division 4 when Marshy returned to the club following the 2007 season. He immediately set about stimulating the off and on field energy around the club, with his sights set on premierships and progressing to Div 3. Since then Marshy has empowered the club through one of its most successful periods with 5 premierships and three minor premierships won in the last 2 years.

He exits the coach’s box with ‘mission accomplished’.

The strength of the club is there for all to see and Marshy capped off his time as A Grade coach by being the only coach in our history to win two A Grade premierships. These were done over 20 years apart, another amazing record!

The committee is greatly appreciative of the dedicated effort and personal commitment David Marsh has invested in the PAOC Football Club.

Appointment of Rocky Butterworth to A Grade Coach

David’s decision to step down has created the opportunity for his assistant Rocky Butterworth to take on the A Grade role. Rocky came to us at the end of last season from CBC and had an immediate impact on the playing group.

He has a record of success and is looking forward to continuing the progress made under Marshy as we approach the challenge of Division 3.

Congratulations Rocky on your appointment!

Ahh, ever-so reliable Jimmy, right on queue

All you gotta do is rattle his chain and there he is !!
Hates being second to give out the news does our Jimmy...

[Felch]

Thats all covenient spin !!!

Rocky wanted Marshy's job the day after the GF, and now he has it !!!

I heard Marshy pulled the pin as he didnt want to make his deplorable coaching record against the mighty Thunder any worse...

FWIW, its a good move appointing Rocky as coach, IMO.

In return for Latte lad buying me numerous beers last Friday night, I let him respond first.

I only posted it because Felch raised the possibility of some mischief - of which there is none.

Marshy only ever agreed to 2 years and set up his own business last year. Everyone has been enjoying the 3 premierships over the past 2 months, and once everyone sobered up, the committee gave him the opportunity to think about the future. The rest is in the announcement

[Felch]

So, in other words, he was told that he was probably going to be replaced with Rocky, so he stepped aside.

[Lazarus]

When was the last time I heard "Mission Accomplished"?

[Jimmy_041]

Fertile mind Felch - comes from all that recent study



Might be better served trying to work out how to beat our B Grade next year - that itch is still there...................

[Jimmy_041]

When was the last time I heard "Mission Accomplished"?

Wouldn't have been from your coach this year..............

[Felch]

Thats someone elses problem now.

I intend on fuelling quite a few fires this year by the way...
