Message: [QUOTE="Kooly87, post: 3126205, member: 9326"] I wanted Bellamy. There should have been basically nothing stopping that from happening. Sure, he probably used us to get a better deal from Melbourne, but how the **** did our people not recognise that if it was the case? Aren’t we supposed to be the smartest commercial operators in the business? Even if he really did just want more money, how the **** did we get outbid by Melbourne? If they paid him 2 million why could we not call their bluff and offer him 4 million, or 5 million? We are the financial envy of every other club in the game and the Coach is the most critical member of staff in the organisation - money should honestly have been no object in this negotiation. We should have been able to wipe the floor with Melbourne financially. Even as a publicly listed company I don’t think having to explain the huge expense to shareholders would be a problem - nothing drives up our share price better than Premierships and Bellamy loves winning Premierships.
