Quote ="Chris71"JK got us to a Cup Final and won it and was then got rid of by Kath, rumours being because of sandwich gate.
To be fair Peter Sharp got us to our only GF appearance and was then shafted figuratively speaking by Kath along with the Cooke affair so he quit. Had he been left to do his job without having one hand tied behind his back I reckon he'd have moulded us into a decent team and would have got the best out of the players he had.
Peter Gentle was unfortunate in that he didnt know enough about the players in SL and AP at the time was still pretty green. AP had McRae who pretty much abused his position and gave poor advice to both AP and Gentle which ultimately came at the cost of Gentles job.
Now AP is much more knowledgeable with his own trusted contacts both her and in the southern hemisphere I think he would appoint the right candidate from Aus, NZ or the UK.'"
Fair points, we just never seem to get it quite right do we.
This appointment is so important. On paper at least, this squad is more than capable of challenging for trophies, I'd hate for us to look back at this period in a few seasons and lament it as another opportunity lost.
