pfft. if there was any hard evidence asada would be spreading it around like **** whilst trotting out the 'i told you so' lines (not to mention hed be fired, and not stood down)
in any case there is a saying 'innocent until proven guilty'. I see no reason why that shouldnt extend to flanno and co, considering they have put their heart and soul into our club, which was clearly for love not money...

of course we, as punters dont have all the info at hand yet, but from appearances (and personally my gut instinct) it just looks like the board saving their assess at the expense of everyone else. when they produce evidence that flanno is involved in any sort of systemic cheating programme, ill gladly retract everything ive said.

I woke up this morning to text's from mates saying that we've gotta "sack the board". I just don't feel right jumping up and down and getting behind something before we have all the facts. Believe me I am as frustrated as everyone else at the fact that we do not have access to all the information right now, but we need to be patient. Once we get the facts and come to a well rounded and informed understanding (which none of us currently have to my knowledge) of what has happened, then we can make some noise as to who or what we do/ don't support (e.g the board, flanagan, etc.)

he wont need to be 'involved'.

Him NOT KNOWING what was going on is enough for him to be gone.

He was the coach he should of known. Its sad but true

He wont be coaching us again, 100%.

Louis - fair call completely, and I said, just my gut instincts. and I like flanno, so I dont want to see him hard done by as I feel hes done a lot to get the club back on track, and has stuck through some very tough times. I hope im not wrong here, but if I am, ill eat my sharky hat....and then go buy a new one :p

Gow - quite possibly right, though I am hoping youre wrong on this one as it will be a huge setback for us.

of course it will be...

its amazing when you think it cant get worse it does, its unrelenting.

the only thing that could make it worse is a player going off the rails tonight, raping killing and robbing civilians.

Even then i wouldnt be suprised.

The club in general is making it very hard to continue support. Life is hard enough without this in my life.

As a supporter since the beginning, I can't begin to describe how I feel. I am watching this destruction and praying we come through it. But am losing faith in that.

I feel betrayed to be honest, I have given my life to supporting this club and its players. Have defended them, even when I have had my doubts.

So many years, so many supporters pass on having spent so long praying for that elusive premiership. That dream which we all share. We continue on wishing, praying and believing that one day we can celebrate like never before and say to those gone. That's for you guys n gals. That's for you Steve Rogers and others.

But year after year we are let down. Now this.

I don't know how you guys feel, but for me it is like you just found out the one you love has cancer and you have to be prepared for the worst.

If the Sharks don't survive, rugby league will be dead to me. I won't support another team, buy another product or pay TV subscriptions. It's dead, why bother.

I have no idea what would replace it. Can anything?

Jesus, I will have to talk to the misses! What the **** am I suppose to say?

Okay, rambling. But just gutted

I'll be there once I pickup my membership pass, the players need to know the supporters stand with them.

If Moelbourne can survive what they went through, surely we can survive this. We have been around longer than the storm, and have more ticker.

This year may end up being a write off but the club will survive, dont doubt that for a second.
Any talk of relocation, folding etc etc is dramatised journos trying to create headlines. In other words bull****.
The club will survive.
