I know that there are many disappointed Eels fans at the moment and I certainly don't want to add to the misery or dejection but what is your current gut feeling as to what will unfold this year in terms of possible changes:
1) The current coach will remain and see out his contract until end of 2022 regardless of results or finals appearances.
2) The current coach will be asked to leave at end of 2021 and Flangan or another coach will be assigned for 2022 onwards.
* This will result in exodus of some players due to their dedication to current coach
3) The current coach will be given another extension for 1 or 2 years.
4) Something else and if so explain.

3 he will be resigned till the end of 2023
I think we will fall to 6th place and bow out immediately in the finals.
2? Is it dedication only as the coach is there or to the jersey????
2 although not sure about Flanagan nor your predicted exodus.
Yep. I think Madge will be sacked first
Didn't someone report here that Arthur took a massive pay cut for 2022? Therefore his payout will not be as much as say it was if we sacked him in 2018

Yeah took a pay cut for 2022 apparently, but i can see what you mean by not wanting to pay him to do nothing
No, no, no. That would be a mistake. The club cannot let the tail wag the dog. It must dictate the terms. If BA isn't in the clubs future plans then he must be let go af seasons end. If we have to pay him out, so be it. It's the cost of business. We cannot have a season where it's all about the coaches future.
Well if they do that we can kiss season 2022 good bye as well. We'll struggle to deal with the inevitable speculation about BA's future, and you know guys like Kent, Hooper, Wiedler, Read et al will have a field day with this one. There'll be all sorts of board imposed deadlines, on how many wins BA needs to have etc. Every presser will about BA and his future. If he won't quit, which he has every right to not do, then the club only has two palatable options, extend or fire.
Have a look at how the Sharks was torpedoed because of speculation around John Morris. Our board simply cannot allow that to happen. The cost of the payout to BA will be miniscule compared to the cost of a lost season.
As Nick Politis is fond of saying, "Losing is bad for business".
Option 4.
Parra signs Brad Arthur for. 25 year contract so he can coach his grandson that hasn't been conceived yet
