I don't encourage anybody unless they're absolutely and totally committed and understand the pitfalls of the role that they're taking.
It's tough, absolutely.
The people, the kind of people, the personalities, if you like, or the characters that get into what I would call the...
presidential and committee and uh board positions in those clubs and uh it seems that that culture if you like over a period of time is very very difficult to change and uh i think that's and i you know i i sense and feel that for the clubs that i worked in when i got there i found that they're all significantly different in their makeup and that you needed to understand the values and drivers that uh
that club were sitting on if you were going to work in it and be successful.
So it's a very demanding job, as you well know, better than anybody else I would have suggested.
And I'm just very disappointed that Michael got to the position where he thought that, A, he wasn't wanted, and, B, that he...
He couldn't do the job that was required.
One thing as a senior coach, you never lose hope as much as the ridicule is around you and the pressure's on.
I think the day you lose your personal self-belief and hope that you can turn it around, then you're done.
Well, you never give up.
In his private moments, he would now recognise he's not getting another contract, wouldn't he?
If that's the case, then you should knock on the door.
I think we're a bit weird, the coaches.
We're not rational sometimes.
I'm sure there's a belief piece there that he's a waver, of course, and there's a little bit of hope there.
But if you lose your hope and your belief, then there's no point.
G'day, Gerard.
Oh, yes.
It's something I must admit I didn't expect Gerard to be quite truthful.
