Interesting to see Sportsbet giving the two potential Collingwood candidates the shortest odds for our position.

Eddie & Pert have got to be squirming right about now.
 
Why doesn't the club just put 500,000 on Johny Barnes at $201
Sign him up for a year,
debt solved, money left over for a new coach in 2011 and more development/recruiting ;D

That's one of the best ideas I've heard in a while.

Absolutely brilliant thinking Drod!! :hihi

Make a cool $100 million.

I say do it Tiges. Sign him up for 1 year, collect the cash and then get a new coach at the end of next year!!

We'd be an even bigger laughing stock but at least we'll be rich!!

More entertaining media conferences...would be freakin hilarious...that bloke is a numbskull!!
 
Why does he have to coach for the year?

Appoint him, let him preside over the trading period just to get cred, then have him retire for unforseen medical/personal reasons and appoint Hardwick/Richardson/Cameron etc?
 
100 Million in the bank and a priority pick next year. Seriously, we can't go wrong.

unless our new coach is involved in the Grand Final in some way, then it'll be after the GF

why? when alistair clarkson left port for hawthorn it was preliminary final week in 2004. also when laidley was appointed at north melbourne he finished off the season at collingwood

haha that's not so stupid. argentina have maradonna as their coach, but it's only a token position... everyone knows that others are pulling the strings behind the scenes. we could do the same with john barnes ;D

With that much money we could just pay for a few kneecaps and the rest would stop laughing

We could become the Mafia of the AFL...oh wait Dimmy has that covered :mad:

No tigertime, I was referring to the other TT, tigertough12. I left out the 1, it should have been tt12. I'll edit accordingly.

No Problem Baloo ;D
