Melbournefc Statement - Review of Football Department

[deanox 9,985]

I dislike the way Paul Gardiner has gone to stir up this drama.....he ate his own words for saying to wait till the end of the season to do this.

im not sure about that. i think that we are putting a review in place to decide if ND is the right person or if we should advertise the position. that doesnt mean we are sacking danniher, and that doesnt mean we are making public statements about his future and contract...

My tip

Daniher is gone - Connolly might be in although they'll wait until the end of the year (Brett Lovett as assistant) - Gary Lyon on the Board - Schwartz also to be more involved - some senior Melbourne influencers have had enough and Friday night was the last straw - very angry people apparently

I was one of them-This club has under achieved since 1965. Enough is enough. We carry the name of our city for christ sake

I watched the show last night and I got the impression that gary was saying to Voss that the melbourne job is up for grabs. Voss stated that off field stability is important to him, facilities etc. which melbourne are improving in. Voss would be in a position where, he would be in a club with a new future just like he was when brisbane started up. I feel that this would appeal to him as he could have more say and put his stamp on the club. They had very little in the beginning and our situation parallels that. Voss also talking about having conversations with grant thomas. I may be making assumptions here but I'm betting that he is so sure of being able to do the job because thomas will be handling the man management and Voss the preparation and coaching. Any others see the program?

Melbournefc Statement

Paul Gardner has announced that the Melbournefc is undertaking a comprehensive review of its football operations and strategies for the next 5 years.

"This is the logical and professional way of handling such matters, and we have fully briefed Neale Daniher and key football department staff on the process. Neither Neale nor the Club will be making any further comment on the review, or the coaching position, until the process is concluded."

Where has he stirred up a drama?

The football department is being reviewed. This kind of thing happens in professional business all the time. Perhaps a bloody sacking would suit you more, or perhaps you would prefer the club to sit on its hands and just look to the sky for assistance?

A review is right on the money IMO.

Season has passed us by...........planning for next year is exactly what we should be doing.

I like Danners........I hope he can get over this hurdle and remain coach.........but if it's deemed he is not the future, then let's get on with the job of winning a premiership!

I'm left wondering if he actually would want to continue - has he ever commented on going on next year?

Given the circumstances who of you here would go on??
