Ginever signs on for 2008

[pipers]

Well, he certainly has a large and pointy chin. Well done 'Pies.

Huh? Point?

Refer to post "why are all the eagles ginger?'

LOL GOLD!

[Wedgie]

The other issue here is that with 4 AFL clubs and at least 2 SANFL clubs in the market for coaches it could well become a bidding war for the best candidates. We can't afford to get involved in that sort of thing, and surely Tim, with a couple of years under his belt, and a series of premierships as a player, has a LOT more to offer the club than an un-tried former player or a non-Port person.

1 year is a good move. Presumably it's Top-3 or out for Tim in 2008.

Very good point fatal, I was wondering why they reappointed Tim but I think you've hit the nail on the head with your point.

[Dutchy]

So where will J Clayton play next year then?

Umm, Port.

He is not unhappy.

time will tell....

Yes, he looks like Clutch Cargo A hell of a nice bloke, too nice to be involved with Port

Ron Fuller went from U17's to League GF in first year of league coaching.

I am happ Tim has been appointed again.I am not happy with all matters off field though.

Sadly these off field issues will have some impact on the rest of our year,I hope nothing of this rolls into next year.

CARN THE 'PIES

Care to share with us the off field issues?

Many of us have heard about no cash flow, players not being paid for a month and possibly longer, other players finding out how much some high profile players are getting paid (if they actually get it) and a few likely to leave at seasons end.

Also the deal re the POW Hotel is a shambles according to all reports but it was a desperate attempt to generate income but all it has done is generate a huge debt with the shared/original owners reaping all the benefits? Is that on the money so to speak?

I can confirm,or deny those rumours.

[BPBRB]

LOL very good I'll take that as a neutral sitting on the fence then!

Thankyou. Does one sensible post in 100 give me the right to a bun?

[smac]

It would, but your ratio is nowhere near that good fatal.

Bidding war??? I know a lot of other clubs supporters who would happily contribute $2 a week to keep tim at ethelton for a longer period. I'm more than happy with this appointment, will take a bit longer to equal the phone throwers worst coaching record at the club though.

It does warm the cockles to know that the first ever Port coach to not beat the Bays in 4 consecutive outings will remain at the helm next season

Agreed, he seems to be able to inspire his mob to give away 3 quarter time leads as well.

I still think footy is mostly played in the mind though - if the team wants to win, generally they will. I'm being Captain Obvious, but if a team is good enough, they can win on any ground and in any conditions, provided the mind set is right.

And the coach would be chiefly responsible for setting the mind right in his players wouldn't he?

In driving home the message, yes. The players should know what's required of them to win a match though.
