Ross Lyon

[Sir Why You Little 37,239]

Ross Lyon $7.5 Million for 5 years..

Paid for by the Western Australian Mining Industry no doubt.

The Shockers have had enough.....

[Choko 493]

I am glad the situation has been taken out of our hands, because on one hand i would have appreciated the winning at all costs culture Lyon would have bought to the Demons, on the other, I can not stand the way the Saints play, and am glad he is not bringing that game style to Demonland.

I felt exactly the same way. If we could be guaranteed success with whatever choice we made, I would have chosen anyone over Lyon!!! Now let's hope the first part of my statement is correct!!!!

[baysidedave 246]

Freo's list is better / more advanced than ours.

Has nothing to do with it, he went behind everyone's back, even his own manager's and they have sacked him, he is going to get 7.5 mil over 5 years, we could not match that. Its only about money not what club or who has the better list its $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$dollars

[Face Your Demons 175]

If Ross Lyon can get a 5 year $7.5Mil without assistance from his management, who needs management...

Scully you missed out son

[baysidedave 246]

I was never keen on him either, that boring negative gameplan, even St.Kilda supporters were'nt going to their own matches.

[Born to Run 204]

Bomber in play now??

Essendon to get Harvey as senior assistant which allows bomber to leave??!!

Doubtful obviously....

As opposed to our unique winning style of football.

I cant recall all the complaints when Nnorthey's teams used to win games by kicking less than 12 goals but it must have been deafening.

[Sir Why You Little 37,239]

Coaches deserve every $$$ they get...100 hours a week no problems.

Media Scrutiny Flat Out.

Ross is a very smart man....he could do no more at the Aints.

MM to the Demons...

[Demon SeaMan 108]

Throw M Harvey into MFC job interviews Let the fun continue...when's the finals start???

[Face Your Demons 175]

Mark Harvey R U OK

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

apparently this has been going on for weeks and we could not match any of the money Lyon is getting, he is getting deals with mining companies etc and will make twice as much as we could get him.

Without doubt.

Money talks.....

And he probably had to go it alone. His management group could hardly discuss it whilst also representing the coach he was about to replace.

How else could he have done it i wonder. Sack his (relatively new) management and appoint another in the space of a few weeks and try and involve them in the dealings whilst maintaining secrecy as well. Highly improbable.

Still.....not a good look.

Saints will be reeling and pretty bloody furious once the dust settles.

[Guest oldman emubitter]

The club will struggle to attract a top line coach until all the off field issues are fully sorted and there is stability and unity of purpose around the place.

Anyone who thinks that was achieved by sacking Dean Bailey is living in fairy land imo.

You can forget about getting Malthouse. It aint gonna happen.

get balme or similar to replace cc. we might have to spend some decsent bucks to get the right person or can todd take this position?

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

As expected ESP, run by Craig Kelly, has terminated contract with Ross Lyon, What a day

Kelly triggered his own redundancy clause. Well done Craig.

Boy arranged for himself $7.5m over 5 years. Shafted his own blood sucker sorry manager who was looking after his affairs no wait they werent.

And a chance to coach for premiership with side whose era is just commencing.

Boy what a low down self interested cad. Actually bloody smart move on a number of fronts

Hey BD, maybe your missing something about Freo? Hmmm

Exactly why would you sign for another four years at St.kilda?? It is the end of their window for sure.

Ross is looking after himself, why should he worry if Harvey has the same management?

[Jack Jack 415]

Mark Harvey R U OK

It's a serious issue, But I couldn't help but laugh. Nice work.

[McQueen 17,867]

Freo - more money and shorter window to challenge if they had all key players fit.

They say they're in their window every year.

If Lyon can do something with Freo in the next 5 years I'd be impressed.

A case where the blood sucker, I mean manager had a clear conflict of interest and was unable to represent Lyon if Harvey was a client.

If anything Craig Kelly just looks redundant and Lyon looks uber smart.

The Saints look terrible out of this

It's like taking your house of the market and buying a 'DIY kit'

Hope you know something WYL..... i'm gonna bloody brain you if we don't!

Did it well didn't he....!

[Real Demon 232]

Gotta say I'm impressed with Lyon's slick work here, he's one switched on dude!

Tough on Harvey though, Freo have absolutely set him on fire!

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

Wrong.

In 2010, they rose from 14th to 6th.

In 2011 they were crippled by injuries and finished outside the 8. They were better than that.

Lyon approaches them and arranges a deal to coach them for 5 years after saying the Saints are at the end of an era.

If you think it is just the momey. Hmmm think again.

But it is certainly not not about the money

Ross Lyon $7.5 Million for 5 years..

Paid for by the Western Australian Mining Industry no doubt.

The Shockers have had enough.....
