Mark Harvey sacked / Ross Lyon new Freo coach

[Ox]

stuff Harvey!

Been there for years and still cant coach out a season proper.

[mightytiges]

Lyon did the deal behind his managements back, who also manage Harvey.

So Lyons management have sacked the snake Lyon for doing his won business.

Unbelievable.

That explains how it wasn't leaked to the media.

[mightytiges]

Be interesting to see how Ross coaches them. Does he put in a boring slow crowd the defence game plan that helped the saints cover there deficits in there list or does he allow Freo's list to play to there full potential and free them up more.

It's going to be harder to play that lock down high stoppage gameplan on the big Subiaco ground.

[Dubstep Dookie]

Lol Melbourne and St.Kilda....

Too bad, so sad 

[mightytiges]

LOL at Grant Thomas - "St Kilda has a history of inventing ways to stuff up!"

So true .


The Saints offered Lyon a brand new unconditional 4 year deal and were expecting him to sign it this arvo and Lyon has blindsided them. The Saints are so in shock they have appointed a interim coach even though it's offseason and there's no coaching to do  .

Haha Grant Thomas is brilliant with saying line like that. Can't wait to hear it from him on FC.

Appointing an interim coach is abit of a joke. Surely the assistant coaches could of worked together with the list manager through trade and draft period.

The one that has been backstabbed is Harvey who had no idea this was coming and was actually working on list management issues today. He had a year to go with his contract at Freo and Freo just tore it up and said Lyon is replacing you.

Footy clubs can be brutal when they want to be.

The management company is/was not only managing Ross Lyon and Harvey but Garry Lyon as well. So all the players in this charade were under the same management.

Ross Lyon getting $5 million over 5 years.

The St Kilda president said earlier in the week that Lyon was "man of integrity"

I think not 

[10 FLAGS]

Ross Lyon is only looking after his family. All of us would have done exactly the same in his position. The guy has probably got a young family and this is his chance to set up his family for life.

St Kilda's CEO office will need to buy new carpet as well as Nettlefold was pacing up and down with a phone at his ear for the past 4 hours looking totally shocked.

And he couldn't do this earning $600k for the last year of this contract and over the next 4 years at probably $700-800k a year

It's not so much that he's quit the Saints it's the back handed way he's gone about it

Integrity my backside

Essendon set the scene last year with Knights - does Hird have much integrity? Not in my book
If Harvey is so good, the Saints should appoint him

Its not about integrity its about money and longevity in the game. The moneys fantastic and he leaves the saints as they need to do a proper rebuild, if he had failed he would have been out of the game in 3 or 4 years. This way he gets the massive pay hike, goes to a club where Harvey has made some hard decisions, stays in the game for atleast 5 years and if he has a proper exit strategy again could see stay in the game for atleast another 10 years. Its all about money and longevity and I cant blame him. The saints have always been a rabble and they will be rabble again soon.

[Eat_em_Alive]

The question is where can he take fremantle from here?
Who will st kilda appoint?
