Maybe Holmes' salary was also included under the salary cap and GWS needed to make cuts to fit Lucky Phil in

Let's hope he's real pi%%ed and spills the beans on this other 'saga'.

So now the truth will come slowly leaking out....Good, that is all i ask.

Maybe this is why Jimmy made that statement in the paper earlier this year when he said "It is wrong that young players have to lie"

Open up their books for all to see...

So they can afford $cully's dad

I like the thought but i believe the AFL's response to you will be

"tell WYL he's dreamin' .. "

Hot News Flash.

$$cully's Mum is now the new CEO

This whole situation is really starting to stink!

This really appears like the AFL sacking the CEO because they realise there is a mess that needs cleaning up (and covering up) before the [censored] really hit the fan.

With the apparent imminent appointment of Dave Matthews (big AFL brain) as GWS CEO it certainly looks as though some direction has come down along the lines of 'this is embarrassing us, people.'

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,693]

Is there any evidence that Holmes' sacking is in any way linked to Scully Sr's appointment? For all I know, Holmes' might have been against the idea or he might have developed the plan or he might have had no idea. And any one of those reasons might or might not be behind his sacking.

hehe....hahaha....HAHAHAHAH!

looks like the AFL are trying to pull them into line, they are spending money willy nilly that the AFL invested i mean sheedys son as a recruiter, and scullys old man now aswell if they were highly rated recruiters then fair enough but i have never heard of them this has got sheedy and grubby allens dirty prints all over it just seems like there trying to milk the AFL to line there own pockets i doubt they really care if GWS succeeds or not as long as they become rich in the process. GWS is destined to fail why the AFL put sheedy and grubby in charge is mind boggling

i wouldn't be so quick to make that assumption...seems there is infact large amounts of "Trouble at Mill" up there in Rooted Hill

[Jordie_tackles 354]

Ok so if he hadnt already Scully has shat all over his image, atleast he and his family will be very very rich

[beelzebub 23,313]

I would think it'll be a cold day in hell before much really eminated from the bowels of GWS . Keep in mind its books are really just a chapter of the AFL's own. Vlad isnt likely to unveil much anytime soon.

Be interesting to see where Holmes heads next.

Agree.

Can't help thinking that GWS is looking like the AFL's worst-managed club.

And they aren't even an AFL club yet.

Head of recruiting stood down for bizarre abusive behaviour against former colleagues, just as the peak of trade and draft period comes in.

CEO sacked without an immediate successor. Either he's a total crank or the board is a bunch of total cranks, or both.

Two senior coaches who are both a bit weird, and no clear relationship in the coaches box.

Overpaying junior non-stars, completely failing to recruit anyone capable of true on-field leadership.

Actively antagonising the 'old' AFL community for media attention in ways that mean nothing and impress nobody in the Western Sydney community.

Weak sponsor group, weak fanbase, weak community involvement, pathetic 2nds competition.

Whats going to happen is in 2-3 years time they will have to offload at least 5-6 young players to keep $cummy and fat Phil in the salary cap, the club will be in Tassie in 5 years, its a bloody joke.

[Flemo56 396]

Even Tassie don't deserve this effen lot

The contrast with the gold coast is amazing. GWS is an abdolute circus.

So true I can't believe the difference between the two. The question is when did Phil scully agree to the job and when was it offered to him? I doubt the AFL gives a damn the draw is out soon and then something else will come up and it's all going to be let through to the keeper.

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

Some of the hand wringing here is overdone.

There is no doubt Holmes has not been clearly open with the Board on the offer to Scully senior. And he and the Club have been badly exposed for it. It was a poor commercial slip up by a CEO and he has paid the price for it.

The perils of the GWS have also been the perils of other Clubs over the past couple of years.

Now there was one club that sacked their coach and were going to sack their CEO instead.....
