My view is he wanted the money and had no intention of coaching but backed that knob Jeff Kennett into a corner saying he was staying put and Mitchell has been having a hissy fit at the thought so Kennett had to offer the payout.
He didnt seem to have any trouble accepting or having too many tears for those young players he was so passionate about either.
Clarko 1 vs Hawks nil...
Do we really think if he gets offers of 1.5 mill plus a year he is going to say No thanks ....this is his chance to secure his retirement
and then leave the game. IMHO he is burnt out and has other things, other places he wants to go but he needs the Willy Wonka Gold ticket to do it and there about 4 clubs looking for a messiah. This is his best chance to play them off against each other to up the money , we had the Review for a reason and timed it for a reason. Hope I am wrong because I like David Teague but I can feel Matho warming up the plane and having the caviar delivered fresh sooner than later..
We'll see how this plays out I guess. I just dont reckon Clarko is the mongrel people make him out to be in respect to his commitments to club and colleagues. Sure he wasn't going to walk away from a lucrative contract, who would? But I am sure he would have stayed if he had to.
