GT on SEN this morning said RL is doing a better job with the Saints than he ever could.

Discuss!

OMG WTF?

Once again GT is stating the bleeding obvious!

What??

I keep saying, I have thought GT has been quite resonable in ttrying to look at the saints so far this year in a un biased way. He has given credit where it is due, and called any concerns he may have. Im not surprised at all to hear him say that.

Got an audio link?

Like to hear him say it.

The quote could be good for someone's sig

BigD · Post: # 730128Post **BigD** » Sat 25 Apr 2009 2:18pm

I heard it as well.

I thouhht he said it sincerely and with a genuinne tone of admiration in his voice.

The context was:

He was asked early in the show, "do you wish you were still coaching them?" to which he replied, "No , I couldn'to the job thast Ross is doing at the monent" (or something along those lines).

I thought it was quite a reasonable thing for him to say but certainly not worth turning into a three page thred or anything like that.

I doubt it. It's only a big deal with a couple of people on this site who like hearing the sound of their own posts. Sounds to me like he was just being politely diplomatic and giving Ross some acknowledgement for the performances so far.
How about we sort this out once and for all and get the club to alternate between GT and Ross for the rest of the season. Whoever coaches the most wins is recognised as the best coach.

I am not sure why this is such a surprise. Everytime I hear GT talk about the saints post sacking I think he has been pretty honest. I have heard him talking up Ross a few times. Everyweek this year he has been very positive. I think GT would be as excited as anyone about how we are going. Take away how you think he acted as coach or "Club dictator" as some want us to believe he is a true saint through and through and loves the boys as much as we do.

Who is Grant Thomas?

asiu · Post: # 730143Post **asiu** » Sat 25 Apr 2009 2:34pm

he's the bloke who layed some foundations around the place

remboy · Post: # 730144Post **remboy** » Sat 25 Apr 2009 2:34pm

If we're serious we should get Alan Killigrew back.

HarveysDeciple · Sat 25 Apr 2009 2:39pm

hence the reason for my hesitation...

a poster with undoubted anti gt agenda using this thread to push said agenda and start a fight.

mbogo · Post: # 730151Post **mbogo** » Sat 25 Apr 2009 2:39pm

GT is the bloke that got a group of young men to believe that if they stayed together then success would follow - and they are still together. This is to GTs credit!

I think you mean footings.

Context - Brereton made some comments about someone and GT was asked his opinion. He didn't hear DB's quesstions and when asked he said he was dsitracted thinking about how good the Saints are.

Whoever the other guy is said. "are you sad you're not coaching them?"

GT answered, "Not at all Ross Lyon is doing a much better job than I could"
