It's a no-win situation for the club, long term it will take a minor management miracle to keep both SOS and his boys at the club! I've no confidence!
It's the elephant in the room and the potential issues were obvious from the start;
- If SOS get s the sack but we want to keep the kids.
- If the kids are no good but we want to keep SOS.
- If one kid is a keeper and the other not.
- Whenever some other past-players kid gets snubbed!
It's a minefield or player and fan disengagement!
Nah its fine.
Jack will get to 100 games easily enough and irrespective of how long it takes him, he has a role at our footy club. The recruitment of McGovern flies in the face of him showing favourtism to his boys as he has chosen to take a player who should push Jack out of the team, but Jack appears the better option (at the moment).
If Ben doesnt pull his socks up, delisting beckons.
If SOS is unhappy with either of those scenarios, he can feck off too.
At the end of the day, it only becomes a problem if we want it to be one. Currently Stephen is the blue chip performer of all of them and if parting ways with dad means Jack wants to leave Carlton given his potential, and his current ability we should take or leave him accordingly.
