All i can go on is body language RN...Malthouse seems keen, & G Lyon looks confident.

If nothing happens i am in the same boat as all of us.

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

Wow with Mark Thompson record after 6yrs at GFC helm , i guess you'd answer the same way... same pedigree, same stock

Lyon's probably getting a few bars of that in his show bag too!

Maybe we should recall Diamond Jo! Our new sub-committee member

[Deeoldfart 8,005]

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

Unlikely that we will ever know the full story, but I agree that the dollars would be a huge part of the equation. On the other hand, Lyon is a self-professed career coach, and imo the strength of Freo's list would have been a critical part of his consideration.

[McQueen 17,864]

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.

We shall see....

Over-rated, under-performers.

They were at near full strength when we belted them by 16 goals too. Still can't win on the road either..

G Lyon looks confident.

I Agree WYL and have stated this in previous posts too.

Hope we are right.

"Man of Integrity"WOW!

Just thought I'd correct your typo here WJ. I believe you missed the word "no" in between "of" and "integrity".

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

But he approached them first, so how could it be all about $$$$$ He didn't know what they would offer, he just knew he wanted to go there.

Move on posters - time for MFC to choose from one of the good assistants out there looking for the opportunity to step up.

Just heard on SEN that RL was even able to name his amount to stay at St Kilda. He also walked into a board meeting, told them he was leaving and then walked out, leaving for Perth.

I am not a lawyer far from it but if RL had a contract for 2012.

Couldn't the saints sue him?

Hahaha, exactly. Sounds very "self assured"

I would guess so. He is supposed to give three months notice to terminate. Obviously he will forfeit all monies owed, but after that, I don't know.

Reported widely to have a nice 'get out ' clause. Which it seems worked a treat...lol

This guy is mercenary.. to the max.; blindsided everyone ....except Freo of course .

Why do I have a funny feeling one GL got wind of it. Good smokescreen.

Don't agree with that one BB he looked just as surprised as everyone else.

[dees64 104]

I have no respect for this guy!

Basically chased the $$$

His own mgt team have walked away from him!

[old dee 23,781]

Did the saints window just slam shut?

Or was it just an ill wind blowing down the corridor?
