I know our few voices are probably insignificant. However, I'd rather speak up than continue to be disappointed in silence.

You don't do that if they have decided to terminate you. I'm thinking we are waiting on an answer from Clarko too. Could well stay if Clarko says he is taking a year off and would be good for 2023.

I wouldnt coach unless my contract was extended, I wouldnt be giving another year of my life so Clarko gets the players with a few more miles on the clock and better prepared for him to take over.If the board want Clarko then he has to take the job now and not use Teague as a caretaker, I'd tell them they can get John Barker back to care take and polish the coaching box for Clarko..

Certainly if Clarko says yes to coaching the Blues then all bets are off. If Alastair Clarkson for whatever reason declines the job, there is a very good chance that David Teague will remain in charge."- Sam EdmundTime On@TimeOnSEN·28m"Ross Lyon has been speaking like he might have the job, and that may be the case, but my understanding is that his chance of coaching the club have faded in the past 24 hours. I have been told there has been a cooling on Ross Lyon."- Sam EdmundMore...Quick EditQuote Quote Selected

Re: Football Department Review Reply #1059 – August 24, 2021, 08:55:23 am IF the rumours of Liddle muddying the waters re Lyon as he doesn't want SOS back at the club are true, then he is not acting in the best interest of the club, he's making it personal. And that's a fight Liddle doesn't want to pick.IF the CFC faithful had a choice between Liddle and SOS - no contest. Liddle had better not be white-anting Lyon to prevent SOS from returning. IF so, don't let the door hit your @rse on the way out, Liddle. Quote Selected
Re: Football Department Review Reply #1060 – August 24, 2021, 09:12:21 am What we are seeing at the moment is the battle between the old Carlton and the new Carlton, which will win?Unfortunately, I see this divide in the playing list as well, and I suspect people like Teague and Bolton before him are just collateral damage caused by the wheels of change and the death throws of the old ways.Oddly, I first got a whiff of this back when Harf was called in to replace Daniel Keeping in the AFLW.Personally, even if the old Carlton wins, it is on borrowed time, so despite the eagerness of some to see the return of the "SOS Faction", I call it that for lack of a better name, perhaps it is better if it doesn't win now and the "Liddle Faction" cements it's place. However I qualify that with the idea the Board needs to reign in the "Liddle Faction" and keep it operating in it's play pen. Does the Board have the cohunes?

Re: Football Department Review Reply #1061 – August 24, 2021, 09:44:47 am The noise coming from the media is about their need for a quick kill. And, of course, they all have their inside sources with any number of 'whispers'.If (and it's a big if) the Board is actually trying to digest the review findings to make the best decisions, then so be it. There are many assumptions on this site about the internal politics and who is doing what. What is certain is the need to identify where improvements are needed, and how to achieve that.This is not the time for knee-jerk reactions to suit the press. All the noise about Teague's demise is coming from the Media and Liam Pickering. DT is only human, and when pushed by the media about his fate, what else could he say but 'it doesn't look good'.Clearly, the Board needed to talk to Clarkson and Lyon or be accused of not pursuing every possible option.

Re: Football Department Review Reply #1062 – August 24, 2021, 09:46:35 am The media point the knives at individual targets, but they may not be the right target.For all that we debate, we do not know who is making the calls on players and coaches, we as fans assume it's the cockroach or MC making decisions who to play and who to pay, but it could well be the Executive."There's a rotten apple Jim, and we have to find it."
