If ratts is a great coach we should bring him back.. Lucky nobody else touched him.
He's much better equipped noe than when he came to us
That period of ratten and sticks plus hughes the board the footy managers has destroyed us.
We didn't bridge any gaps..
Well I don't think its a case if you hated Mick you thought Ratts was great. Its more Mick was miles worse than Ratts, who we thought was average, ad we paid him double the cash for the trouble
What happened was we got Mick the messiah in and believed everything he said and did, and gave him complete control, something the Pies were smart enough not to allow. So any good work that Ratts, Richardson, Brown etc had done was completely removed and replaced with nothing.
Board was dumb enough to believe it was a silver bullet, true. Best course of action would of been to either bolster the help around Ratts in 2012, or replace him with a coach from a proper process, who was willing to build on what had been built and see if they could take it further. Instead Mick has basically done a Mark Neeld and blown the house down and replaced it with shit.
Ah but I did say that Mick would stabilize the rot and the club has a crap board.
Mick wasn't capable of stabilizing the rot now will whoever takes on the role next
And I was right about the club from top to bottom...
That doesn't sound like a silver bullet...
Ratten should never have been coach in the first place just as he is still not considered head coach material ten years on with ten years experience.
Our recruiting has been crap
Our football department pathetic
Our board rubbish
I think you're pulling my thoughts on Mick I'm isolation and you know it
