A great man once said, "I'll predict anything except the future." Well, okay, he wasn't great, just my colleague, an aging Scot with German roots who enjoys fish 'n' chips as much as any Aussie. Even so, I'm going to have a go:

At some point in the next few days, in a media conference, it will be brought to Simon Goodwin's attention that this week there has been a lot of discussion in the media about the MFC. Simon will reply that moving into the hub has helped them to "shut out noise" or words to that effect. Oh, and there will of course be "learnings," "looking to the future," and other glib phrases which signal that he is failing to deal with the issues which he has been dismissing in this way for a very long time.

A quote I would like to hear from him is this: "Never again!"

Any coach would say it @Grr-owl, it was telegraphed as soon as the article was written. That's ok, it's the language of coaches and football departments.

 

 

Yeah. It must be a trope. They just roll it out.... 

Add to the impression that MFC isn't serious in confronting its shortcomings. Automatic dishonesty. I mean, the last thing I want to hear is that they are ignoring the noise. There's a lot of truth in that noise, and ignoring it is dumb.
