What's wrong with everyone? Where's the WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS thread?

Make one LDC. Don't think, don't hope...ROOS!!!!

One more piece of uncut, confirmed news.

MFC wanted 5 years, but Paul Roos would not commit. However, Paul Roos verbally said he WILL coach beyond 2 years and beyond 3 years if all is going well. Roos wanted an out should admin, board etc fail to maintain the structure and standards he requires.

This should keep the entire organisation in line.

This is what I had suspected. This was Roos clearly saying to PJ and Bartlett that the job's not done yet.

Get the structure right and he'll stay longer.

yes....quick.....the B$T$ thread is under threat

1) Thank goodness we can steal something out of the season

2) suck a d brisbane

3) 2 years is awesome, long enough for him to instill his values on the club, and encourage the development of another coach!

I really hope he can bring across Cameron Ling, Paul Williams, Michael Voss and even James McDonald, we would have several options to choose from to take over from roosy if he feels like a short term contract is all he wants

[Machsy 2,856]

I think the shorter than expected contract may be key to enticing the best candidates for assistant coach positions.

It's a perceived carrot for taking over, but once they are in place, I'm sure Roos will talk them around for a longerterm apprenticeship, a la Longmire.

Maybe an overtly positive view, but it's the one I have.

Or GNF's explanation is probably a lot better...

I'm currently in my school library and just heard the news. I probably celebrated a bit louder than I should've. Everyone is giving me weird looks now.

I also like it from a MFC POV as there will be life after PR just like there was life before PR - this will mean we don't have a massive payout if it all goes to water.

Where do I sign to help out?

Me too, different school library. I can't make a sound our librarian is mean.

BREAKING NEWS:

Finally good to see a decision, I don't have a Messiah complex about him, and think his reputation is overrated, (he won one flag when most of the competition was in rebuild mode) but he was the best out there, and there was a sustained period of finals at least, something I would like to get used to

I will wait and see what we do with the list and who he thinks are good assistants, he got it right with Lyon and Longmire (part of the reason for his success), are there any of the same calibre out there? ( I personally hope he keeps Rawlings and Brown)

The two-plus-one nature of the deal says to me that Peter Jackson is the greatest negotiator of all time.

Remember how the last four-year deal we signed turned out? Not so Flash.

Jackson has not only landed the biggest fish we could have hoped for, he's done it on his terms too. What a CEO!

[Slartibartfast 15,761]

How long til someone starts the Sack Paul Roos thread.....

I didn't know how I'd feel until it was done but I believe this is the best I have felt about our club in 38 years as a supporter.

How many times have you said that in the last 38 years?!

Welcome Paul. Good luck.

[Rocknroll 912]

Looking forward to seeing the well trotted out "culture change"

I pretty excited about this, To be honest this year, as an overseas supporter, I have dropped of the radar. Not much to hope for. Not much to tune in for.

Now I have hope.

[Jaded No More 57,820]

I have so much work to do today and my boss is starting to get [censored] at my lack of concentration.

Only so many days I can use my "dad is in hospital" excuse before she realizes I'm actually just posting online about football.

Best feeling I've had for a long time regarding this club. It's amazing how Roos has turned my feelings of despair to feelings of hope.

WINNING!!!!
