One of our wags on here suggested a way of getting rid of MON is retiring him.... a tongue in cheek suggestion may I say! I'm sure he can be sacked if required?
A retirement package or sacking may not be necessary. We will still need to find a replacement for him and frankly it is up to Ryles and the CEO to say we need more in the position of GM Football.
Hard to argue with that need face value, me as a past supporter of MON having suggested previously that I am surprised he still with us.
I have also thought in recent times that he has been kept because he had a focus on the total scene, grade and junior developments,
Interesting in the sense that everyone rubbishes him on his negotiating ability. We really cannot judge him on that, as it is subjective. Many on here will say he can be judged and he has failed.
Frank the Tank made a defence for him based that it is a hard job if your hands are tied. We won't argue that one with Wiz but I do not hold him totally responsible and the so called abject failure's of R&R, LB made the point that our recent signings and success gives him a success that has not been aknowledged.
Just to throw another opinion in......How's this sound?
I wonder if we should get someone like an ex or current player manager just to do contract negotiations and leave MON with the overview football role. Once they agree on who they want let the assigned Head Hunter can go after the target..... and/or have the same person quietly make it known who we don't want. It can be a totally different player management philosophy.
Maybe we can loan juniors/development players to Perth or PNG on the same basis that Melb seem to do it. Also it is someone who can monitor who is after our juniors and what defences do we have to combat and manage them.
This type of role fundamentally doesn't necessarily sit as an automatic for a good General Manager Football and maybe this ancillory management role is a good way to go.

So do you propose bringing in another large 6 figure salary to do the part of MONs role that he doesn't know how to do ?
Let me ask you this , if you hired a manager at your second hand shop to do a list of roles and paid them to carry out these roles , who was constantly fucking up the valuations of PlayStation 1's and you were losing money due to this , would you find an alternative manager or would you double your investment and hire someone on similar coin to just do PlayStation valuations ?
Or how about this ,
Are you retarded ? He has a fucking helper , he's called a recruitment officer. They're both idiots . Now you want to give them another person to help these two boneheads to do their jobs ? lol we will have more people trying to recruit players then we will have players.
Yes I am retarded and feel very sensitive about it....that's my excuse, whats yours!
PS I am retired as at last year and if you want advice on how to run a business, I am happy to help you out. You won't like my advisory fee's by the way.
Actually you show you know nothing about me, or my business dealings. It also shows you know fcuk all about anything that requires any acumen.
Stick to your level of Wizardary, you are out of your depth in the real world
Hows your 14 Lomac's going in the Illawarra, surely you have placed them all by now. Maybe you should get MON to help you offload them.....I'll do the playstations and you can look after the board games.Lol
You didn't answer the question ..
He is off hiring someone to answer it
Haha !
😂😂

I never answer to you in any form Wizardry, Randolph couldn't hire a fire hose at a bonfire and Tank starts laughing because that's what mates do.
So be it!
Wests Tigers have a spot open for their HOF role. Why not a reunion? Yes he showed his little fella at a function, but those people could be gone now. He won a comp with Benji, he is good for a decent signing or two. It is perfect marriage. We don't want to lose MON but a homecoming might be inevitable.
In all seriousness, you mention my comment about recent signings. He is good at finding diamonds in the rough and moneyball signings. But at the same time, as Wiz mentioned, it is easier to sign when nobody wants them either. We need some big fish. Lomax is a start but need more than that, MON hasn't really done that. He has been given a bit of cash to work with and signed nothing for 2026 where other teams are making signings.
How do you know how little it was LB. That's definately below the belt.
It is below the belt, as all of them are.
Sorry Poppa i saw the opportunity and took it. I'll leave the chat now.
