Scott Watters Sacked!

[S.R.J 418]

SEN on twitter has just stated that Scott Watters has been sacked. Holy [censored] the focus might be of us for once next season

WOW...

[hardtack 10,520]

Yep, AFL just tweeted the same... Scott Watters believed to have been sacked.

Edit: now confirmed by AFL on Twitter

[S.R.J 418]

I know it finally just got put up by Jon Ralph......apparently the players plus coaches didn't rate him enough to lead the way.....holy [censored]

Holy crap....
Seems very sudden as far as his tenure goes (there have been rumblings however). What has been going on behind the scenes there? Did he subscribe to the same line of thinking that Mark Neeld did? What the bloody hell is going on? I thought 2013 was the first year of their rebuild and compared to us, they were down right respectable!

terrible timing after most of the viable replacements are essentially no longer in teh market.

[titan_uranus 24,980]

Unbelievable.

Even more so given the comments he made this morning on radio. This. Morning.

"St Kilda coach Scott Watters has maintained that there was "massive upside" and "a very optimistic feel" about the Saints team he was leading despite reports that the club's football department was fractured, with substantial conflict between Watters and football chief Chris Pelchen."

"Speaking on Radio SEN on Friday, Watters said suggestions that his relationship with Pelchen was strained were "almost laughable".

"Chris and I are absolutely perfectly aligned from a list-management point of view and that really was from day one," Watters said.

[beelzebub 23,313]

why am I not surprised....... its StKilda...lol

[dazzledavey36 54,430]

Some players would be shitty now that trade period and free agency is finished.. Nicky Dal did the right thing.

I feel for Watters though.. Wasn't he on SEN before saying that the president had told him he was there for the long run?

Something not right..

[beelzebub 23,313]

Seaford implodes just a bit more each day

If he was going to be sacked on the same day, how could the higher ups let him on the bloody radio to talk about the club? It sounds like something we would have done during our 'red and blueprint' era.

Don't know why, but I feel sorry for them. Haven't seen the wheels fall off a club this badly since... oh yeah, that's why. Empathy.

[beelzebub 23,313]

Seems like most of Mickey Mouse's proteges are told to go get Donald Duck'd !!

[Bitter but optimistic 22,223]

I suspect Kim Duthie was behind this!

Heard the interview this morning, when I listened to that, couldn't help but feel he was in trouble

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

As a Melbourne supporter all I can say is thank you to Essendrug, Saints and Lions for making us look not so bad.

[beelzebub 23,313]

Yep I tuned in this morning to hear what Watters had to say.. And basically only a few hours later.. this.. I am absolutely bewildered! I literally fell off my chair when I heard this...

You would be extremely happy if you are Longer, Savage and Co that have just moved there, I wonder if Wellar still wants to go to the Saints.

James Magner could take the job as a player/coach.

He will definatly get a game then
