Conspiracy Theory: Gerard Healy

[felixdacat 459]

I like the idea of the conspiracy but would go further to add Roos to the hypothetical conspiracy. I.e Gerard and Roos get together in some seedy back room to discuss the strategy of getting rid of Cam Schwab, Mark Neeld Don Mc et al. Final end game to get Roo as coach in the MFC.

All a bit of stretch and as conspiracy theories go not all that juicy or exciting but something to think about whilst waiting for the next game.

Snape lol

I liked Snape. I have serious misgivings about GH allegiances.

If was any truth in some red and blue in his veins we might have seen him fly the flag once or twice.

Strangely i dont recall any occasions.

Does anyone have a grasp of Gerard Healy's true relationship with the MFC?

Obviously (thanks, Trenners) his brother is the Football Director. Many here deride and question him, but I can't help but think that there is more at play here.

How he teed up Brock McLean to open the tanking debacle again that ultimately flushed out Schwab, McLardy and others on the board.

The fact in the media he somewhat set the agenda for the timing of Neeld going - bye bye at the bye.

I have heard that he is very well connected and regularly discusses the state of the game with many key powerbrokers.

Could it be that Gerard has had more involvement in all of this than we truly appreciate?

The word on the Land is that this was closer to truth then conspiracy. So do I win a prize?

What land? Aren't you just using the ends to justify the means. Personally I'd say Roos had no desire to coach before the jobs started calling him. When he was on 300k+ to coach the swans academy and a healthy deal with Fox he didn't need the money. And Healy would've had to have a serious guarantee from Roos before he launched into this rear action that has cost us a huge pay out to the CEO and coach and board turmoil. If it was the case you'd have to ask why he wouldn't stop Schwab's reappointment, why they couldn't find any decent candidate to run a board challenge and then why we couldn't have waited to until the end of the year to sack Neeld who might just have had a much better season behind a freshened board and CEO, with possible a restructured footy department before this year.

If we get Roos, to go with an impressive Peter Jackson and a new president with AFL support it will all be a nice result. But think of the pain we've suffered to get here. No doubt even with AFL support we will also dip into debt in the next 12 months as well.

I really wish some of these so called experts had predicted these circumstances, no re hired Schwab and avoided a huge payout, got a better more focused board in place and head of football that was experienced and helped Neeld. That way even if he did fail which seemed inevitable we would be in a much better condition now.

The vast majority of conspiracies are usually just [censored] ups.

It would pay every Demonlander to remember that if we had not tanked there would have been no story.

It would not have mattered what Mclean said or what GH did or said.

Well said OD.

And I am not sure why there is the poor servant angst on Healy senior from MFC. For the past 20 years he has been in the media and some expect that MFC are in for free ride from him. I am sure the Swans supporters aren't that unreasonable.

Yep could not agree with you more regarding conspiracies and (D) Land but, the question still remains unanswered by you both. Do I get a Prize?
