It seems Sage and Brewer are at total odds with each other as well

Glory have gone down the Glory Hole here

Edwards taking legal action, they just said on channel 10 he didn't want Burns sacked but rather the captaincy removed.

Good.

http://www.letstalkfootball.org/

Listen to the Jason Brewer audio, the changes they wanted to impement on Edwards will be done on the future coach.:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Should have changed his last name to 'Not Edwards'.

Is anyone surprised? Honestly it's all media handling bullshit. They dont want us to know the story.


Take them for all their worth.



Omg. Can not be serious. Monkeys could run this club better. ](*,)

This gets more and more depressing.

So where's the user who tried to say other managers wouldn't be deterred by the club's treatment of Edwards because it wouldn't apply to them?

I for one shudder at the prospective scrap heap managers who are desperate enough to accept those conditions.

Candidates are coach Chris Coyne, Mark Rudan, Ante Milicic and Gary Phillips I noticed Bayswater FC sent out a tweet supporting Coyne for coach before Edwards was even sacked which I thought was a bit of a bitch move.

All of them are not overly experienced, I would prefer a proven coach, because the club really really really needs to get this right.

Just chucking another name out there, how about Phil Stubbins?

I'm not sure General Ashnak could handle that.

F1dave is writing an article, had to even check with a lawyer with what he's saying!

Gonna be great

Players still getting involved on Twitter:lol:

Okay so apparently at the fan meeting tonight Tony Sage pissed off a lot of people.

I like how today's Worst has the CEO saying the interim coach this weekend will be free to have their own team selection and strategy.
Surely that can't be the coaches role?

Sage has apparently told Naven to decide to take the club out this weekend or he's gone.

tony said the opposite at the meeting today. this will get interesting.

i dont agree with what went on but i will thank tony, jason and the other fella (board member) for coming down to talk to the common folk.

Any chance of a summary from those that went to the meeting tonight?

The more point of views of the night the better

I think F1dave is writing an article on it, he doesn't seem to impressed.

Share Sausage:)?

Report I got from it was the opposite.

A lot was said, it was very open and frank, heated at times, people spoke up and there was maybe 15 or so fans there. I think much that was discussed is hard to decifer at this stage, need to sleep on it.

x2!

No fn surprise, KNEW it was coming! Such a dodgy way to get sacked, bizarre at the very least, certainly within the realms of 'wrong' in many respects and possibly worse, in other respects!

He is due his just compensation and even satisfaction after this almost career ruining, drama. This wasn't JUST a sacking - His reputation was DRAGGED through the mud with the 'son bias' innuendo/accusations and the INGLORIOUS blow up in the change rooms, INSTIGATED by Burns and co!

Yes, we know life can be 'Unfair' but to say this scenario was handled 'unfairly' may be an understatement. Yes, something HAD to be done, a process gone through, examination and due diligence to get to the root/s of the problem, but that process was clearly flawed and the outcome AND explanations for this outcome, thoroughly unsatisfactory, in a wider, professional, sense!

FTR I sound really harsh, but like the rest of you, we all still want what's best for the club and that's why this scenario has bothered us all! We DON'T want the club to be suffering these disasters, these public embarrassments etc... We all want to see the club succeed as much as, IF NOT MORE THEN, Sage, Brewer and co do, most certainly!

So it's FAR FROM FUN, getting the boot stuck in - It's a shameful affair for all - Including Edwards himself I'm sure. I'm SURE he'd have mixed feelings taking his beloved club through legal action - but his hand forced and many of us fans can well sympathise with his circumstances, what we've witnessed, atleast publicly!

*Me in boot stuck in mode again*

=d> Indeed, CEO must've been temporarily confused, needs to get back on message - Or he could be the next for the 'formality of a review' and exit! ](*,)



He WHAT now? Seems the coaching staff were ALWAYS 'the enemy/bad guys' in this mix - CLEARLY. Loyal Naven, former long time captain, another Perth Glory Legend, positioned in an another untenable scenario. He'd be wrecked given what has happened, his principles, integrity and long service, including as NYL coach. My gd - Don't FN DOG Naven too Sage! BUCK FN HECK - OFCOURSE - COMPLETE THE FN PROCESS, YOU HAVE TO, MAY ASWELL GO WHOLE HOG, YOU HAVE LIL FN CHOICE SAGE. Naven was public in his loyalty and condemnation, including via Social Media. CLEARLY he was part of problem, right Sage? OR WRONG?!

Pressure's on Naven, get back in-line with this Player-Run club or ship out boyo!

My god, I'm not even that long-term of a Glory fan, that committed (Membership-wise, years following, attachment to code etc), but could almost cry, reading your post Iridium1010! :cry:



So in terms of opposite, you mean Burns is taking legal action at Edwards seeking Burns' removal as Captain? :p

Oh yeah, THAT'D be right - In the 'upside down land' that is Perth Glory! Don't know whether to: :lol:, :cry: or go: :p aka 'loopy'!



Damn only 15 people, guess we lucky THAT many turned up - Good on you 15 folk, GOOD ON YOU. I would've liked to have been there, not for excitement, but for concerned necessity. The events at the club have gone from long-term degrees of mild-mismanagement or slightly more, to a sudden explosion of thoroughly disturbing levels, just as when things, the 'outlook' was looking soo bright, positive, optimistic under Edwards-era Glory! It's such a shame that era has ended soo early, given the mini-revival of 'West Australian pride' and 'Glory of Old' he was leading. It was wonderful, while it lasted.

:(

You 15 gave good value it seems - We all look forward to a more thorough run-down of all the Q&A. Atleast credit to Brewer and even Sage, for organising this AND being there, in this clearly difficult time for all. I don't envy Sage or Brewer in their positions either - we all know how difficult this scenario would've been, heck, it may've been more difficult than we could even imagine?! But there was an absolute and very strong sense, that this and many things, could be handled alot better and even justly. Even as a fan of the A-League generally, and looking at scenarios/lessons from other clubs. Glory just does soo worse and the Brisbane Roar parallels circa early Ange-era, maybe there are subtle differences in the detail, but... It's bizarre and even disturbing, just what has transpired here.

Again, what would a 'football brain' on the board, make of this? Or even a PROPER Technical Director who'd help oversee and even handle this? Mich d'Avray, IF he was TD, would NOT be happy with the whole scenario, for sure!

The consideration, the pov or side of the coaching staff - The contrasting politics/dynamic of the scenario - it just seems it wasn't even understood, let alone 'considered' or what not. It turns out Edwards and co were on a hiding to nothing, from the get-go!

No wonder Edwards seeks a lawyer now - He clearly needed one from the start of this process - to help DEFEND himself and present his case, to Sage and co! But when it's a some kind of 'Inquisitorial System' where the defendant is 'Guilty til proven innocent' - No, 'ei incumbit probatio qui dicit' or even Corpus delicti here - one wonders even IF 'Audi alteram partem' was REALLY applied/understood too?!

No, rather, Ali Edwards became 'Persona non grata' right away!

Perth Glory = Peakesville, Ohio, in the Twilight Zone Universe!

[youtube]Vj76l3-EvJo[/youtube]

Edwards: "That's right, I'm a very bad man, you keep thinking that, you keep thinking bad thoughts about me - And maybe some man in this room, some man with the guts, somebody who's so sick to death of living in this kind of place and willing to take a chance... somebody please sneak up behind him, somebody end this NOW, WHILE HE'S THINKING OF ME! WON'T SOMEBODY TAKE A LAMP, OR A BOTTLE OR SOMETHING AND END THIS?!!"

Though this little boy has a few willing collaborators. Sage and Brewer must continue to think 'Happy Thoughts' about these boys, or else they will end up in the Cornfield with Edwards, his sons, Naven and the rest!







'That's a REAL GOOD thing you done there, boys, a REAL GOOD thing!'

'Thank you Sagey.'



Oh gee, isn't that a REALL GOOD thing, that's a REAL GOOD thing those boys have gone done, isn't it?

Sure is! It sure is a REALL GOOD thing!


It sure is, 'The Good Life', isn't it? ;) #-o :(

Dude there was so much said it's all a total mindf**k for a football fan to either believe or accept. For eg, it was the clubs position that they explicitly told Alastair Edwards after last friday night to NOT, after warning him by e-mail and text, not to talk to reporters at the airport when they got back. Another fan on the night says they can back this up by having seen the message. As well, even things like the Glory crowds in the NSL are questionable; a very good source on the night says those figures are not accurate, to say 15k crowds were there in the old days is exaggerated. 11/12k is more likely at the time. See what I mean? Even things to do with Ryan Edwards contract was dodgy.

You Perth Glory fans need to encourage another consortium to buy Perth Glory.

Are you trying to get a gig at LTF? Nothing you have said there has been reported. Is this what Sage and Brewer were saying at the bar?

Details of Ryan's contract should certainly not be discussed by the CEO and owner. Besides the the board have to agree to the contracts of players, are they trying to blame Ali for the contract? Or was there a stipulation that Ryan receive a first team position?

Have heard our club called Perth Glory PC. PC for Poker Club. Those that play poker with Sage are more important than those in the Football department.
