Now that the bush coach is no longer depressing eels fans we turn to the next coach and we need to look at the dangers of not getting it right .
I've read many posts regarding coaching options and they all have some merit , but he one thing you need to keep in mind is that Parramatta have a joke of a board and CEO and their is a long list of failures and fuck ups these clowns have made over the years and I'll be reminding you all about in another blog as you all need to be reminded.
If it were up to me I would make a offer to good to refuse to Billy Slater and give him the keys to the club , but this board have proven that they can't get the best to the club so it's just a dream , I would of also of suggested Cooper Cronk but he will end up coaching the Roosters in the next couple of years .
With what is available I have no preference for a coach because it is a pretty depressing field of candidates , Parramatta fans find themselves in a situation where they have to rely on absolutely stupid and clueless people to find a new coach .
Sean McDope , Jim Sarantinos and Mark O'Neill are in charge of finding a new coach and this is so depressing you can't even joke about it , even other clubs fans would be feeling sorry for eels fans.
If a club is going to hire a untried rookie they best make sure they have a board , CEO and head of football who can give him everything he needs to succeed and this is not Parramatta .
If Frank Ponissi was available their would be zero chance he would come to Parramatta because the reason he is so good at his job is that he is at a club who have had a board and CEO who give him all the tools he needs , if he says he needs XYZ then they will give him XYZ and at Parramatta he would get zero .
Parramatta has s football department made up of bottom of the barrel standard people and this is all to with the board and CEO as they do all the hiring , so who ever becomes coach will not have much to work with all help .
If Parramatta hire a coach and he is is not up to scratch this board will not sack him before his contract is up and we have seen proof of this . As fans you all need to 🙏 that Parramatta can fluke getting the right coach because we have a board who don't like to correct mistakes and and have low standards for the club and we will be stuck with a dud coach for years once again .
Go look at the press conference that McDope and Sarantinos held yesterday and look at the standard we have and you will see why Bennett said no .

Go on son be brave and tell us how great the eels football club is and all the top level people the board have hired for the club ? Go on , don't let the fear of making a dope of yourself hold you back .
So from the ones available who would you choose?
Probably Madge because he won't take shit from the board and will demand things . I'd actually wait to see how he goes in origin and see what players say about him , no need to rush things
Half of us already have ulcers and depression because of the 38 years of failure , any longer as we all will be dead.
I agree Fongy. I really hope they go for Billy Slater. A lot of the current NRL stars spruik about his footy IQ when on the field and now as QLD's coach. He would be a massive draw card for new talent as well. Imagine young Blaze Talagi being mentored by Billy? Fingers crossed the board take their time and get it right.
Billy Slater would be a dream. One of the smartest to play the game. A coach that would attract a lot of quality players wanting to play under him.
Apparently according to Hoops on 360 Parramatta were offered Bennett in January this year and did nothing about it . The board should of had the brains to realise that BA was not the coach beyond this year and got Bennett wrapped up when their was no competition for Bennett .
This board has zero foresight .
I just can't see Billy even being remotely interested but its at least worth the question.
That said, we should do what the Bronco's did as an example. The club was on the bones of it's arse a few years back. They then stole their current CEO from the Storm (Dave Donaghy) and appointed Ben Ikin as HOF. Look at where they are now. Agree we need to replace the guys at the top with some footy nous.
I agree with Caryannis, yes no way in the world it would happen but whats the harm in trying? Slater wouldn't think of them any less for asking.
We have just amputated the gangrenous limb but the body still has Type II diabetes ...
The problem has always been the front office and this was just an ass covering ploy .....we will remain in mediocrity if we refuse to get smart people in our front office. The only way this can happen is if the eels get a private owner .....with deep deep pockets to entice the best from around the game......who the F knows we sure are in a state and I think it will be well over 40 years before we even make a GF again let alone win one
