Post: # 1142145Post SainterK »

Freo only made a call on the 4/9 to show interest in Lyon for 2013.

:lol:

Yeah sure.

I suppose we're also supposed to believe that his coaching efforts v the Swans was....now what was that....

'at our home ground, v an interstate team, to the level of the height's he had coached in the past'

:roll:

Well who do we believe? Not saying you're wrong but we're as ignorant as anyone else in the current situation.

Do we continue to believe rumours, heresay, random forum users or do we accept what we've been told and move on? A lot of what the media reported yesterday turned out to be BS.

Taking everything as fact is obviously a dangerous thing to do, but since there's no clear counter argument present, it's all we have at the moment.

I'm guessing the powerpoint presentation they showed him must have been convincing :lol:

I reckon Fremantle approached Lyon after the match they played against us in Round 20 (5/8) ... That adds up to be around 6 weeks in the making... ... Then to say one month later (4/9) they would be interested in Lyon in 2013 was just a cover up.


In Ross Get lost!

I am excited to stay at St Kilda and this is a great result for the Club and all our fans. I’m proud to be part of the Saints and am pleased to be playing football with the Clubâ€

I reckon Lyon knew his time was up and would have started to look around some time ago.

He's a career coach, with a young family. And the reality is, your currency can go from being a $1m a year man, to unemployable almost overnight!

I reckon Lyon felt that may have happened to him if he stuck around and went through the rebuild thing.


So he found a good deal, and snapped it up.

That sounds pretty close to the mark. Brad Hardy (6pr) said that Freo started all this about 6 weeks ago !!

The day the Pelican arrived, I think Ross was thinking about next year. Any where else, but not St Kilda.
Throw in $7.5m and his decision was pretty easy. Was he talking to them prior to this week? What do you think? I think he was.

I find it extremely difficult to believe that a $7.5Mill deal could be brokered in 72 hours !!

Lyon is a mercenary. A hired gun who's market value has peaked on the back of the grand finals and recovery this year. He has gone to the highest bidder while he can and crapped on the club, players and supporters in the process without any remorse. The spin is now on to lesson the blow on Freo and Lyon's reputation.

Spot on, anyone that thinks a monumental contract like this had been brokered within 72 hours is kidding themselves. Also think Finey said it on SEN that his sources told him it happened 5-6 weeks ago, and he was spot on with everything else last night....

Im with you Sainter K, dont believe it for a moment. How many times did he say when asked various questions, about his exit clause. He looked rattled uncomfortable. I believe they rehersed what to say before the media conference. Head hunted, yeah right..............

He told the players "See ya next year", just forgot to add "When I coach Freo against you."
