Just heard on the news for the umpteenth time today that we probably cant afford the best possible candidate for the coaching position. We have rid ourselves of debt and should be able to pay plenty for a good coach . Success will bring future financial gains i would have thought . I admit to not being a financial guru but i would like to think we can go after anyone ...

    I think it's easy for a lot of people to think debt free = open cheque book. It doesn't!

    Even if Malthouse were to coach us, I feel a bit sorry for him with the expectations that they will place on him. Actually, goes for anyone who coaaches us, but worse if it is Malthouse. As we saw him at Collingwood, it took him 10 years to get a flag.

    Yeah it took him ten years but in that time he had 2 losing g.f s and other finals appearances. Carlton are debt ridden it hasnt stopped them spending on their facilitys and players. When you start being succesful you get it back...

    Dont think he would be under more pressure than Buckley possibly taking over back to back premirships...??

    i agree. The MFC must be aggressive toward getting the best coach...Malthouse would bring 50,000 members next year.
