Look, The scully saga is going to go on for months. So i thought it would be a good idea to start 1 thread.

The problem is we can't afford to pay Scully 850,000 plus per season.

We can however back-end his contract though right? this means that we pay him less now, but a LOT later. This would be at a time when, if all things go to plan, we should have more members and more money.

Also, our other options are to do what judd and Carlton did. Pay Judd a couple hundred thousand to perform an ambassadorial role at visy. We could do the same with Scully.

And lastly, what compensation would we get for Scully if we lost him?

So ultimately, i dont see why we couldnt keep scully if we back ended his contract as well as offered him a Judd-Visy type job offer.

Thoughts?

 

He could be the "Ambassador" for Gutnicks Diamond mines. In all seriousness we have some wealthy supporters In high places and If push comes to shove I'm sure we could some sort of 3rd party deal In place.

I don't think we need to stress about this to much.

I had the honour of meeting Eddie MacGuire a few years ago. When I told him I barracked for Melbourne he replied with, "Well you better get out there and rattle the tin".

Cool, so it should be over within a month. ;)

I think we should just let the club and Scully go about it's business without all this MFCSS huff & puff.


We won't know which way he's leaning for months, and possibly not until the end of the season and trade time, so why not drop it until we have something to discuss?

Lets give Tom Scully a bit of credit

He looks and acts like a professional

I've got a feeling he will stay because of the incredible upside that the Dee's will have over the next few years.

Make no mistake, money is important but so are a lot of other things in life.

Thanks for starting a new Scully thread Freak.

It's exactly what this forum needed.

Anyone got one of those facepalm images handy..?
 

I think it's time to put this thread in lockdown mode and leave only one Tom Scully thread running for the time being.

Sorry, but the saga's already getting tedious, it's only into the first week and the decision won't be made for another 30 weeks.

There's still one thread there for the tragics and masochists.

Please go here if you are that way inclined.

The rest can choose to ignore it.

Thanks people.

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
