seriously mate it's not a slanging match at all! I just want to know what the committee of TTGSC is thinking when they have had 3 coaches in 3 years & each of them bitter with the club PROMOTION, CHAMPIONSHIP & A CUP FINAL I cant understand what they expect & what a coach has to do to keep his job? Let me ask you Jay just with the facts you know is there a problem at the GULLY & do you think they dealt with Brad fairly? & DONT SIT ON THE FENCE JAY give em a squeeze !
I don't need to speak for Brad or TTG's committee, they can do that well for themselves.
The facts as I understand it are that a group of players had told the committee that if Brad was coach, they wouldn't be there next year. Apparently there were 8 or so. From what I have been told, Brad only knew of 1-2 who weren't happy with him.
When the committee had heard of the player revolt and had the application from the new coach, they decided that he was a better option than Brad. They then informed Brad that he wouldn't be getting the position. Everything that Brad has said on this forum is true and correct. Personally, I think he has handled himself very well with the situation and he will get a gig as a coach somewhere next year. Rumors have it at a First Division club.
I have since been told, through second hand informationt, that Brad wouldn't be getting the role for next season. This information was made known to this person on Cup Final day. This person was also told who the new coach would be. If that is true, it would be very disappointing considering TTG could of won the cup and Brad was still a goner. This though is all specualtion and like in most things in life, we will never know the true story.
I don't know what had happened with previous coaches from TTG.
Apologies to Brad for mentioning a few things that he said to me in private.
Thats all I know from what people have told me. I'm happy to stand corrected by anyone who can prove otherwise. This isn't my opinion but what I was told. I'll keep my opinion to myself like I do on a lot of things.
At least it gives us something to talk about in the off season.
sqeezed like a true proffessional Jay I said dont sit on the fence! I didn't meen to tear it down! I agree Brad's handled himself well, I can't say the same about the club. It's a very DANGEROUS thing when you let PLAYERS DICTATE the terms of the coaches appointment especially when he did so well? May-be they should start looking at the players & start supporting the coach? sounds like in-mates running the asylum to me

care to add to that Jay Walking - only 2 first Div jobs up for grabs - Vale & Westies that I know of & I aint heard this rumour.
well this is all interesting reading to me! as being one of those ex ttg coaches,whom only coached a season and parted ways,all i can say was that the pres was fantastic with me till and after i decided to leave the club.
sure i was perplexed with the constitution stuff and certainly let certain ppl no about it but no person was bigger than the club.i got reapointed but decieded to move on,but sure there was a few ppl at the club that didnt like my style of coaching and instead of coming to me hid behind shadows and told other ppl whom where loyay to me.
i had a great time at the gully all being short met some nice ppl and a few bitter ones whom no who they are,but at the end of the day i moved on and so did the gully.
i do find it a little odd 5 coaches in 5 years and i hope the club does get some stability and stick to the same coach be it there new one for more than 1 saeson,as being the coach there you prob only can expect 1 year to achive.

Finally someone who know's what there talking about! Thanks getstuckin for the insight. No offence Jay
Sounds like a tough gig, but i guess a coach is fully aware of this strange constitution rule when they accept the job.
Gullies are obviously desperate to get to div 1, then you would think this coaching merry-go-round would slow down a bit?
Brad is a well respected guy. ttg a well respected club. Rumours have it that Brad will be coaching again pretty soon. good luck anyway, thats just football.

What wouldv'e happened if TTGSC lost the Championship because the league forfited Croatia, because it may have cost them promotion & Brad's job? They need to come up with a better solution than they had this year so that a club getting punished wont cost others club a League Championship! Just imagine if it was your club or your job! N T HAPPY JAN !

I think the point is that Brad would of lost the job even if they had won the league and the cup. The success the team had wasn't the issue.
Not the point Im trying to make Jay! TTG aside the league need to look at what there going to do given similar curcumstances next year because clearly it wasnt the right thing to do to cost a club that had done nothing wrong ! I believe they shouldve wiped out all there games & points to be fair so not to cost any innocent club? May-be, may-be not, but it needs some thought !

It didn't cost Gully promotion, it cost them an opportunity.
The league weren't able to deduct points from teams as it wasn't in the competition rules. They only had the power to suspend teams. For 2008, the rules will be amened so that the league has the power to deduct points.

Yeah sorry Laney. Brad couldn't coach Saturdays anyway due to other committments.
