The whole MM "if I don't coach next year, I never will" should be a massive warning to the people making the decisions.
AFAIC it's MM saying "I'm available and I have no intention of going through a process so don't !@#$%& around"
Well if Ratt's is gone then surely we need to open the position to everyone who may be suitable. I know the current thinking is we need an proven coach, but that belief is driven by the perception the club itself isn't a place that can support a newbie, even if he is shown to be the best available.
This position would command between $500k and $1.0m, surely there is more than one candidate?
If the club structure is so poor it can't support the next big thing in coaching surely the structure should be fixed so it does.
By picking MM do we miss out on a Scott, Clarkson, Sanderson, Longmire or even the next MM, Woosha, Roos, Lyon or Mathews.?
Will the current group of players fall for his endless stories of the ANZAC's, The Roman Legions or Hannibal?
MM is as much a risk as anyone else. If they appoint him fine, but don't do it because they reckon it will drag in an extra 5000 members and that he is the possessor of the secret recipe, because he doesn't. Do it because he is absolutely the best candidate.
For what its worth..... MM knows he has the job unofficially.
He says to do it now... but also says after october.
he says he doesnt cut another coaches lunch but left a year early from wce.
it s just smoke and mirrors.... he doesnt wanna come to carlton as the man who killed ratts......
i think u r all trying to read too much into the mm speculation.
he gets hassled by media and plays his game.....
