Seriously what was the alternative option? They wanted to sign Fitzy and i 100% support that. If they dragged that on well into the season the ship sails on some potential signings when noone knows who the coach will be next year. Once fitzy was signed there wasnt much choice but to pay Morris out and let him go. Every win would be questions of if we did the right thing getting a new coach, every loss its pushing the daggers in harder.
There was never going to be a perfect way to handle a coach change over that makes it work for everyone
I would rather be in a position to question did they do the right thing if we were winning games this year. Much better than watch the club fall to a wooden spoon. This is exactly what the board wanted, the team to fall apart this year to say “see we told you we needed a new coach/roster”...... but they sacrificed the season to make them look good.
if they really wanted what was best for THE CLUB and THE FANS they would have kept Morris on and said “go win us a premiership” even if it makes their decision look questionable. They believe in their direction and they will be accountable for that next year so this year shouldn’t effect that decision.
