Norman sacked

[on the rails]

So much crap being posted from those who have no ******* idea.....

LOL - there's more non Sturt people that are "on the money" than you think re this topic. You don't think that SFC Board Members and Admin Staff don't have contacts / friends outside the club or the membership???

Anyhow I am sure your "one man out of state" SFC Supporters Sub-Branch would have discussed amongst yourselves and got to the truth!

[gossipgirl]

the truth is out there ..... somewhere ... just never here

I don't care what insults you can throw at me, I am happy with the information I have been told and from whom. Not saying I am 100% behind the moves but just funny that some on here like to spread absolute lies...

Norman tried his guts out but just didn't have what the SFC wanted for moving into 2012 and someone else showed that they had the plans and that is the direction they went.

Unfortunate but changes must be made when you finish bottom AND see that the coach isn't prepared to change to make ammends.

Ive pretty much given all the info vaguely as I can but if you darlings need more, pm me and we can continue this like gentlemen instead of clowns looking silly

How do you know you aren't being fed lies Jimmy?

At half time of the last Sturt vs. North encounter some very well connected Sturt people told me that Norman would be gone and in fact many expected the SFC Board to sack him the following Tuesday after the Board met. I understand a big issue was he had "lost" many of the Senior Players and a few would go if he was to stay on in 2012. I have since found out that the delay in this announcement was due to the SFC trying to secure another ex SANFL coach to take over but that didn't happen so Maloney got the job.

Yes was Mark Mickan however he refused to do to someone else what was done to him and wouldn't talk to them until they had informed Norman that he was gone. Board kept trying but he wouldn't budge. The bloke is full of integrity. Pure class.

Or maybe just maybe because the Sturt job isn't full time it didn't fit in with what Mark wants to do with his professoinal life in 2012??

I love these guys who say "they" know the truth but can't say how. That just makes you another poster with another opinion based on maybe nothing... you're big noting yourself without providing any evidence you have inside knowledge...

... comes across like bulls**t to me.

In the end Norman wasn't up to scratch. Nice guy but bad luck, he had a crack as he publicly stated. If the club appointed Maloney without due diligence then that's mighty risky. I will be asking the club the question at the AGM and I hope I get a good answer.

That said, Maloney is the man and I'm happy to give him a go, i think the team attitude will be much improved, but it will be a hard year. I would have liked to have seen Mickan take over, but that's just me...

On this very forum, people "in the know" claimed that the club was about to go under and wasnt paying it's players.. then the club came out and announced a modest profit.

If people here are so "on the money", tell me who the preferred person for Duane Massey's position is.

It's possible, but the timeline of events fits the official story better than the one on here.

Sturts financial poistion is old news now. The club is on top of it and trying to reduce debt and are in far better position than in recent years. The funny thing is the most recent innuendo about Sturts financial position came from a Port supporter.

[Barto]

If Sturt didnt go with Maloney from within, who was it from outside that would have applied and got the job?

Jarman

I reckon the Andrew Jarman persona has cost him dearly. Doubt he'll ever get a head coaching job in any big league from here on, made a fool of himself acting like a clown and people remember those things. I'll bet it was mentioned during the washup at Brighton Rd,! Do we need a 'comic' coaching us, irrespective of his past coaching record, it's more about his character.

That schtick gets old real fast.

Well I'm sorry if letting people know what's going on is a bad thing simply because I don't follow the club in mention.. would you like a scanned copy of a SFC bank statement, or similar to let you know my info is good.... and barto, I'm pretty sure you know what I stated is fact...

Interesting. You have a scanned copy of a SFC bank statement?
I'd be VERY careful suggesting that you even have access to this sort of information Mickey.
One thing I know is that we're not reliant on an AFL team for our survival allowance, one that is bleeding the whole of football in South Australia dry!

A bank statement won't show Sturts financial position .

Maybe just post the figures you have .

What does one thing have to do with the other? Worry about your own bloody mess.

[CUTTERMAN]

Yes Mickey, worry about your own bloody mess

Geez some people on here love taking things out of context...

1. I don't have a bank statement, scanned or original.
2. Even if I did, do you think id be stupid enough to post it on here..
3. Even if I was that stupid, it wouldn't be enough proof for you guys..
4. Just because people don't support a certain club, doesn't mean they don't know people who are involved in other clubs.. friendships do transgress football club allegiance you know..


I suggested the statement tongue in cheek as a reference to the level of proof some people in here are demanding for info posted.... maybe I should of added a smiley or 2.

[Booney]

Topic of this conversation - Sturt and its coach/coaches.

Topic you decided to discuss - Port Adelaide Football Club.

You decided to change subject.
