@@tayla6706 There is no reason that I can see to believe this is what happened. From everything that has been said by Simo and the club, it went like this: Simo asked Pykey 'Im I going to be the coach in 2025' Pyke was honest and said no. So Simo said then Im done, I don want to be the coach anymore and put my family through the wringer of media scrutiny like I did in 2023. What's wrong with that? it came down to 2 guys being honest. And Simo is still going to get his full payout even though it's him who technacly does not have the right to stop coaching right now.

Don is certainly no saint in this. If he is so good why not back him for the rest of the season. You can see he loves all the players. Nice dig from Adam to Don about coaching. Don waiting for Adam to answer about when the decision was made🤔🤔 Interesting to see the next heads to roll in the Football Department. Hopefully you are not lost to football Adam. The press should definitely be held to account as they are definitely amplifiers to negativity.

I am extremely disappointed with the mid season sacking after all they ( the board )backed him in to coach and then when some pressure came they folded and used their scape goat. Unless he truly had a say and said lets finish up now he should of got the chance to finish out the season as he deserved. So now everyone got their blood I demand if their is no turn around by seasons end more heads should also roll, under performing players , board members and assistant coaches should all be put under the same scrutiny and suffer the same fate. Thanks Simmo for everything you did !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And those pi55 weak players leaking texts , man up , show your face to your supporters and team mates which will never happen as they are probably part of the reason holding us back.
