Can't see it happening TBH.

Can we please set a limit on "fire marty clarke" threads at no more than five a day.

Cheers,

Mick.

observer, already so many Marty-related threads. Can you please stick to them for a while?

man you guys need to just fire him already and end all these "hate threads"

what's the situation here? management just don't wanna be proven wrong or Marty's cast some love spell on the admin?

In my own way I'm quietly confident that we can win them . With the win here on Friday , the weekend off, they looked pretty good out there. Simpson is in great shape , now for 27-28mins or so . You should've seen him getting jumpers in from a step inside the threepoint line. While he even swished freethrows , perfect. Creek's gonna shoot a whole lot better.
Weigh wouldn't make the team. If there's obligation to play him so many minutes , I don't think we'll win.

I do get the impression that Management are a little hesitant to pull the trigger in these situations. But I guess you need to weigh things up overall and look at where they are in the current situation, is the season over? Is there a replacement out there currently? Is there someone we could sign now to a multi year deal? I guess I look at it in the same light as Adelaide United who pulled the trigger over the weekend and brought back a well known former coach. Yes United sucked big time, is the season over though? I believe Kossie is a better coach than Rini so yes it was a smart move. But would people be happy if they sacked Marty and brought back Phil? I doubt it.

I can't remember the exact wording, but I believe GM Leanne Grantham alluded to the fact that the coaching staff needed to be responsible along with the players. Was Leanne just speaking as the GM or was there support from the owners? IMO the statement, at the time, indicated that the coaching position/s were vulnerable. So, if the teams performance since then has not been that good what happens with the coaching staff? Will the GM and the owners bite the bullet if they agree that the coach is not up to standard? I know that this subject has been written over and over but surely a statement from the GM/Owners either in support of the coach or otherwise should be forthcoming to satisfy the fans. The coaches perceived arrogance and lack of interest in the fans is not appreciated and needs to be addressed.

Great post anon. Media training should be given to any new hire at any sporting club at this level, and especially to someone in a head coaching role. For Clarke, it should be compulsory.

Tough time of year to judge crowds too. My group is 10+ people and for the Breakers game, I think only two were able to go - so many events on through November and December.

What you've also gotta think about is if we fire Clarke what else do we lose?
I have spoken to a lot of our players and they love Clarke, i don't wanna mention any names but if we lose Clarke we could lose a few of our Future/current stars, some of their contract negotiations (maybe not so much 1 year deals but multi year deals) could be based on whether he's there or not...

Besides i truly believe this team is on the improve in a big way, we just gotta stay positive...oh hang on, this is hoops i forgot :-(

The main thing is to get Weigh on the court , even though he hasn't trained for a coupla weeks.
He's telling us , today.
Everyone looks pretty good , other than Weigh , limping around.
Don't ya get me wrong , he can play as long as he likes if he's playen good.
I think we'll struggle with Weigh limping around at these two games.

I agree true blue emcee about remaining positive and have seen a few small signs maybe better times ahead but dont think can rubbish Sixer fans for being a little negative as over last few years so much promised and then had your heart yanked out .
I also agree that obviously Clarke has ability as a coach but something is hampering getting results on court.
Maybe over coaching is problem but my other concern is the lack of respect shown to those like us that continue to support the club from Clarke.

How has Clarke shown any disrespect to fans?

I would rather have a coach tells it as it is than one that tries to BS people and spin stories in the media.

I will judge Marty by the people that want to play for him.

I have heard enough big names say they want to play for him to warrant giving the man enough time to create a successful club, not just a successful team
