He at least needed a year or two coaching a lower grade team. At any other club he’d have been given a role like that, not here. His appointment was a feel good story they could sell to supporters. “He’s going to bring back the magic of 05”. Not acknowledging the many more years of failure.
He has a momentous job ahead of him doesn't he !
I am more than happy to do that ! I am just wondering if he is in over his head especially if he is going to try and do the football managers job as well
Again - it was the circumstances under which Fulton was employed that has created division. Benji signed on believing the club was moving in a direction under Tim Sheens - a five year plan. We now know that the club/administrators didn't trust/ gave up on that process given their interference, which made Sheens position untenable. It's hardly surprising that Benji is testing his authority because what he got sold no longer exists, and Fulton coming in trying to exert his authority over recruitment on the back of it - not too surprising that they are butting heads.
Sure he did and Fulton would have to be living under rock to not be aware of the WTs recent history but if the two don't get along - then given their positions and their responsibility in developing a squad at a club that historically has difficulty doing that then it would be insane - for the sake of the club moving forward- to persist with it.
The dramatics with this club are all off the field and the very reason why they can't get it right on the field and every fan who is still hanging in there is triggered by it.
How are the dogs going? Give him a fair go before you put the boot in.
The dogs have a different issue than we do, their players are jacking up because of the coaching techniques.
Under the current administration thats exactly the response that is music to their ears.
Sure, on a macro scale, no doubt about the result being poor. But drilling into the reasons for the result can provide some hope.
The players have actually credited Marshall for those wins. When you look at recent interviews from Api & Papali'i they have stated Sheens gameplan just simply didn't work which says it all really. Sheens appointment was a utter failure & an embarrassment.
I’m not entirely sure it was a failure and embarrassment.
If it was such as you say, then why not get rid of those who keep making those blunders? Why not sack the boffins who forced a reluctant Sheens to carry the job title of Coach and Head of Football Dept.? Sheens thought he was going back full time to his Head of Footy job when he finished running interference for Benji.
