Leathlean and Bassatt using a lot of weasel words and avoidance in trying to explain Rattens demise.
Lethlean gave him the contract didn't he? He should be the next in line for one in the neck.

afl had to appear strong in sacking him for inappropriate actions against women but then he immediately “finds” a job as head of football with the saints - no double standards or boys club here). Saints then sign Hannebery on big $$$$. Hill and Ryder also on reportedly big $$$. Leathlean after immediate results, which didn’t happen. Lethlean now CEO and imho is just trying to make himself significant and is only marking time until he is welcomed back amongst the ole boys club at the AFL.Simon Lethlean should be shown the door too, the trouble is another door would open for him at AFL house.
Their one & only flag was on the back of half a dozen Tassie players so maybeThe Tassie Saints has a nice ring to it...

Yeah. In Warner's book he reveals how GM was ropeable that the story got leaked, not that the sleazy stuff happened. Also I'd love to know a) how much the AFL paid the PR firm to launder SL's image, the media blitz about how great he is and how someone that good cannot be lost to footy, fair dinkum, it was relentless, PR is expensive and b) how they hid the funds. Probably just appeared in the budget as "PR" in with all their other 'legit' PR campaigns.Lethlean and Gill are very, very close mates.
Yes; without any of the premiership success.
For a bloke who has never achieved the ultimate success as a player, coach or administrator he certainly has an over inflated opinion of his ability and for some bizarre reason continues to wield influence over that club. Probably just one of the number of reasons why they are so perennially rubbish.
It would be funny if Walsh brought in Bucks.
Three months is a long time in football, um coaching. ( think it’s 100 days so less than 3 months).This from just 3 short months ago.
"St Kilda coach Brett Ratten has signed a two-year contract extension, keeping him at the club until at least the end of 2024."
St Kilda president Andrew Bassat said Ratten was the right person to continue to lead the team."
“As the leader of our men’s program, Brett has secured significant buy-in from his fellow coaches, staff and players alike,” Bassat said."
“In addition to his strong football IQ, our players appreciate his ability to develop strong relationships, which he uses as a foundation to challenge each individual to get better and to deliver their role for the team.
"This balance, and the ability to unite his coaches, players and staff in a relentless quest for excellence makes Brett the best person to lead us towards our much longed-for second premiership.”

Why would he take the job ?I reckon Figgy would be the most likely candidate for that reason
Depends on what is in his contractAn employment lawyer would have a field day sueing the Saints over this. How can they can sign him for 2 years only a few months back and Ratten only get 6 months wages.
Can almost guarantee that the AFL would be covering the remaining 18 months to avoid the Saints or the AFL being dragged through court and the negative publicity that comes with ruining peoples lives due to incompetent club management.
That’s why for the previous 2-3 years they traded their picks and paid ( overpaid) for players they thought would get them there.Why would he take the job ?
Probably the worst coaching job in the AFL even worse than the Norf job atleast they know they are *smile* and accept it
the Aints actually believe they are in the premiership window
