I hope underpantsman takes your bet.

Please please take that bet Thaipantsman wherever you are. Do anyone who hasn't already blocked you a favour.

Sorry for taking the thread off-topic...

The blocking tool has gotten a massive workout since I discovered it about a month ago. This site is now much easier to read without having to wade through the useless contributions of the mentally feeble and hysterical rantings of the loonies.

Huge call mr Thaipants. Hilarious more to the point.

I will be in Bangkok on friday...

another forelock tugger!

Maybe you'd prefer to appoint our coaches on a 6 monthly basis, so we could get rid of a couple a year when they don't work out? Why don't you stick to selling pants to fish, you'd probably do better at that.

And you reckon I'm a forelock tugger.

yes! You seriously think Neeld is Melbourne FC's saviour?

Can you read? Way to miss the point genius. I said he should see out his 3 year contract - that's hardly proclaiming him savior of the club. Sacking him before that wouldn't even give him the chance to prove himself a dunce like yourself & the cabal of dullards ruining these boards think he is.

If that's true better start looking for another club to follow!

Unlike yourself I don't turn on the club & can critically assess someones performance based on facts, not my own set of unrealistic expectations & gut feelings. As I stated earlier this club will be just about dead if we sack Neeld after 5 minutes in the chair. I'm Melbourne til I (or it) die(s) I wont follow another club, Thanks for your interest though.

Maybe you'd be best served not following the Bangkok Bongs so arduously?

He deserves to coach it out to end of 2013 and lets see if he's any good or just hot air.

The only hot air around this subject is the methane emanating from your mouth.

AFL

Malthouse won't travel to coach

Jon Pierik Mick Malthouse interested in coaching again, but not at Port Adelaide

So? Do you really think Malthouse will want to coach us if we stab his former 2IC in the back, 5 minutes in, after he himself put him forward for the Dees job?

Go the Bangkok Bongheads!

Coot, are you suggesting that this club follow basketcase Pork Powder in a race to the bottom?

The warning for Neeld is don't be crap? Don't be employed by a club that refuses to give you any FD or recruiting money or full say in list management? Don't be employed by a club that expects chicken salad after giving you chicken [censored] as your main ingredient? Don't accept a two year deal as a rookie coach? Don't be the first coach to lose to both start up sides?

Plenty of prophetic warnings for Neeld there, Nostradamus. Hopefully the MFC board don't have the same delusions of granduer as the Port board (& presumably you) & Neeld is judged on his 3 years.

Do people who make these asinine suggestions even think about the consequences? If the MFC board was to sacrifice another coach at the altar next year, would there be any credible coach interested in taking the reigns at our own basketcase? Quite frankly, you would be worried about anyone who was interested.

The AFL would just about shut us down.

So true. Oh yeah, sack a new coach after 18 games, or one season, and just get Malthouse or Roos or some other premiership coach who has suddenly developed a death wish and are lining up at the door to be the next sacrificial bunny!!!

Neeld is the coach of the MFC for 2013 and 2014.

Is he any good?

I seriously doubt more than 1% of Demonlanders have the slightest idea.

I certainly don't.

What I am confident of is that we have a fairly poor list.

Neeld or whoever is going to take at least the next two years to make any worthwhile change to that.

We have no choice but to sit tight and go with the blows.

I hope we show some improvement in 2013.

But all the talk about Mark Neeld is at this point a waste of time and produces nothing but division.

Lets just back him to get us out of the hole we are currently in.

Wise words from a man who knows this club well.

I question the statement that we have a fairly poor list - yes, there is a lot of work to do, but that is a coach's challenge.

At this stage I have seen no evidence that Neeld is that coach. You may well be correct in saying that we are wasting time in discussing this, but sometimes I believe circumstances call for drastic action.

The evidence is in front of the trained eye - there is no room for blind faith in this situation.

Should we just rely on blind ignorance then? Give it a rest.

If you do enough "forelock tugging" you go blind. I think that's the case with these guys Crawf.

Is that how you 'see' things, your age, or just your IQ?
