No Pelchen is. That is why Watters is gone and not any coup from the players.
Watters was not up to it. The players dealt with him and so knew this. But Pelchen is the one calling the shots.

You do realise we are taking about him having 2 days off about 3 months ago.

If your hire someone, and they are not up to it, you let them go.
If you draft someone, and they are not good enough you let them go.
It is actually a good thing that Pelchen can recognise and act if someone is not working out, even if he was part of the original selection process.
A fool is the one that does not act on their mistakes.
And sport is an activity where mistakes are plentiful. Coaches, players, recruiters.....

Firmly believed senior players never got on board.
Their all getting off lightly for their last 2 years, on & off the field.
Finey confirmed joey was gonna leave, roo being linked to pies genuine as well?
When Milne was omitted, we saw who ran the club.

Re: Players running club...
I have heard Schneids has removed the vending machines and taken over the Canteen and drinks procurement (17 to 23 drinks per man per day).
CJ has taken over media and marketing plus OH & S.
Lenny has taken over the laundry service as he keeps things so neat and clean.
Joey has taken over all club contracts and finances (this is a good thing because hes tight fisted and doesn't like writing cheques - will save us a fortune)
Chips is now in charge of travel arrangements ( he already has some flight credits he can use)
Gilbo will be handling all sales and ownership of club merchandise including visual images.
Dempster will be fitness coach.
Grammy <redacted>
Sheesh maybe this players running the show business might actually work

The problem is most here keep saying senior players. it was basically all players whether young or old who couldnt get him at all.

You don't reckon that if Joey wanted to leave they would have traded him?
Roo to the pies genuine? Please...
Re: Players running club...
Having run my own business for quite some time I can tell you that occasionally people can perform really well in an interview process but once employed turn out to have some very serious issues. And the opposite can also be true. In fact one of my best staff members scuttled in the door and would not make eye contact when she dropped off her cv. As we were looking for someone at the time I had a quick read and told her that her cv was unacceptable and whe would never even get as far as an interview.SainterK wrote:Pelchen was one of those who appointed ScottsaintsRrising wrote:Unfair.SainterK wrote:Is being painted by quite a few.

Have had some very overconfident people as well who interviewed really well but turned out to be disasters when placed on a work trial.
Am actually pretty comfortable with the fact that watters has gone

Not a hope in hell. SW would have been in the meetings with Joey. There is no way the club told Joey 3 weeks ago SW will be sacked. And again I say it just isnt senior players unhappy with SW.

You scolded me for inferring joey was upset and wanted to go, now finey says as much, and I'm still a dog with a bone?
Upset he got in trouble for rd 23 suspension, upset for getting in trouble for hiring dwarves.
Pelchen would of told them Scott was going, trade week only just finished, the board met yesterday to confirm it.
So now Pelchen and Scott were able to coexist and run meetings with players together p66?

You cant seriously think certain players were told 3 weeks ago that SW will be sacked. Not a hope in hell. Something like that would get out for sure. And are you actually saying you dont think both Pelchan and SW would have been in meetings with Joey. Come off it. As much as it seems they couldnt get on they still would have had to have many meeting together over the trade period.
Re: Players running club...
Doesn't mean Pelchen didn't assure them successfully when Scott wasn't there.
Why's this so hard to fathom?
It's been going to happen for 6 weeks.
