Redleg should do one of his countdowns!

[Superunknown 4,243]

this fellow and the caliber of his resume does not fit the MFC archetyoe

 

 

based on this in depth assessment one can only conclude this is a suspect appointment and it is impossible not to conclude this is some deep state double agent activation by the Collingwood FC intelligence apparatus designed to keep us wedded to the bottom of the ladder through a complex and entirely coincidental-appearing set of injurious events in 2020

Apparently we beat out a number of overseas clubs, two AFL clubs and an A-League club for his signature.

This bloke clearly knows his stuff.  Great coup for the club.

Are we paying him overs to be at our club?

Let’s hope he gives the edge we are so desperate for.

Would be better if that came from within the playing group imo.

Is your logic akin to Buckley’s recommendation of Neeld prior to us appointing him?

You’re right my humour needs sharpening

Does anyone know why he left Arsenal?

He was essentially sacked after Arsenal lost to Chelsea in the Europa League Final.

Big words from a Misson supporter.

If I was him I would be sending anyone iffy in to go under the knife now to get them ready for preseason.

I would of thought so... but you have to remember Arsenal is one of the biggest sporting clubs in the world. It's a high pressure job which is heavily reliant on winning!

4-6 weeks in rehab is code for 12+weeks but we don't want to tell supporters and sponsors that

So we have beaten other suitors from  overseas, AFL and ARL to capture his services? Must be worse basket cases than us for him to reject them. I hope we haven’t overpaid. Suspiciously looks like that as we have been there before.
