Maynard GONE [Official]

[since41]

An interesting subtext on assistant coaches being interviewed is what happened with the Saunders brothers that led to the bust up
One of their gripes was that they and the manager had no say in which players were coming in
The club view was that they knew this when they were appointed so they should just get on with it

We recruited well in some cases, Abbott, Bass, Platty and Bedeu for example but poorly in many others. Apart from Jarvis (when he fancies it) who else has done well?
Others have said that Maynard lost some of his best players, Macca, Dan, Nemane plus Robertson & JJ for most of the season through injury
My fear is that whoever is coming in will have to work under the same conditions and see players coming in that he doesn't want or need

Which is why a lot of Managers/ Coaches don't apply and or turn us down they want their own players, style and tactics.

I wonder if recruitment, contracts is covered when they do their coaching badges. If not, they shouldn't ever have control over this.

Style? The owners want to play entertaining, attacking, skill/possession based football I think. Not too much to ask and hard to argue against
Tactics? I think as long as the above is met, a coach is free to do it his way
