Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3221715, member: 9853"] [COLOR=rgb(255, 255, 255)][I]Seibold:[/I] "At Souths the opportunity just came up overnight. We were doing a review meeting and I got a phone call from the general manager of football Shane Richardson. He said: look we’ve decided to part ways with Michael Maguire immediately if any media call it’s no comment, we’ll update you later on." "And then the next day, Richo asked me to meet and he said, ‘Look we want to promote from within and we want to try and get some continuity going’. They’d obviously spoken to some people in the group and that’s how it happened. It was not something that I had thought about. It was really hard because I’ve known Madge since 1998 and I played with him at Canberra." “I’ve seen rumours that I undermined him – it’s all bullshit, absolute fucking bullshit. Pardon my language, but it made it hard between me and Madge because that’s what people wanted to report because that’s a good story. The story came out after I left South Sydney so I understand there’s agendas at play. I rang Madge and Madge will tell you this, ‘I wanted to talk to you before I sign the contract’." “I told Souths I wouldn’t sign until I spoke to Madge and said this is what’s happened and he said, ‘Mate, you’ve worked hard for an opportunity’. And you feel for him because he’s a good guy and a good coach.” [I]Richardson. last June:[/I] “Michael and Anthony didn’t part very well Maguire blamed Seibold (for his demise as Souths head coach) and felt he was stabbed in the back to get his job. There is a bit of animosity between the two of them … and that’s where it all came from. I think Madge had it in his head that Seibs knifed him but no matter what I said, it made no difference. It wasn’t true that Seibold backstabbed Madge. I spoke to Seibs about the job two days after we let Madge go. That’s the truth.” "I hadn’t spoken to them at all. I knew they were interested but I had no contract offer or nothing. I started to get interest when they started talking the length of the contract because it wasn’t just about me, it was about the kids, looking after my parents, it was a bigger thing.” McHunt[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
