Message: [QUOTE="Sirlee oldman, post: 2989265, member: 8915"] The clubs were negotiating a swap. The media were all over Wayne and after the year he’s had he would have known they were going to hammer him and derail next year anyway. He must have realised leaving was inevitable so he tried to manage it by participating in the process and telling the clubs his terms (regarding support staff). Getting a head start by interfering at souths and lying publicly was his biggest mistake. I think his main requirement for cooperating with the swap was to be sacked. I really don’t think it was about the money but he honestly didn’t want the perception that he had walked out on his players willingly. The club didn’t want to be the administration that sacked Wayne Bennett. When Wayne spoke to Morris that Saturday morning I think he was genuinely shocked to be told he wasn’t going to be sacked. So he declared he was staying and again on Friday when he knew that the swap deal was done he got in first with his press conference and said he was happy to stay. He knew they would have to sack him before training on Monday. I wouldn’t be surprised if both clubs were in on the email leak to justify it. Wayne was dumb to start making decisions at souths and shouldn’t have lied. The clubs told plenty of lies as well and got away with saying nothing a lot of the time because they don’t front the media regularly. I don’t think Seibold has done much wrong in all of this so welcome aboard Anthony and let’s get on with playing entertaining football. [/QUOTE]
