he would probably only have a lot of money due to the fact that he stole plenty off the club that he says that he would employ good governance, but he is only talking about it. His record isnt good. He is an asshole, with a huge ego and only cares about himself. Sounds something like a certain President? I will always remember Bulldogs and Sea Eagles continuing on with success after their glory decade, while Parra failed to even make the finals, 1987-1996. Fitzgerald was a failure at success unless he had endless talent at the club that he did not either develop or find, why explains the 80's. Just a money hungry corporate guy. The fans wanted him out and by 2009 they got their wish. The celebrations at the club were like winning a Grand Final when Fitzgerald was punted. |

Did Fitzgerald honestly think the Eels supporters would have wanted him back after it took so damn long to get rid of him. The start of Super League helped him out but then all went back to his standard poor efforts.

Eels only became competitive in 1996 and more so in 1997 when BS was appointed coach, thanks to Super League. Eels picked up Dymock, McCracken, Smith, Pay, Ritson and Raper. This had nothing to do with Fitzgerald who almost won the spoon in 1995, if it wasn't for the Cowboys, their first season in the game. Fitzgerald was a corporate crook, who had no idea about success on the field. I'm glad he's gone, never to return. |

it amazes me to think that he would honestly think that anyone would want him in any capacity at the Eels. He alienated all the superstars at the Eels. He may have had the Eels best interest at heart in the beginning but them, later looked at them as a venture to line his pockets with moola. He is a creep. He should be banned from going west of the Gladesville Bridge.

Ray Price called him, "the cancer of the club", but Fitzgerald had his supporters at the club that would always vote him in. He must have paid them off!! Fitzgerald supporters might say, the Eels have not won or played in a GF since Fitzgerald's last year at the club, but the Eels were never going to win with him there. This guy had zero effect on what happened on the field at Parra. |

All the greats of the Eels hated Fitzgerald with good reason. He was a cancer of the Eels. The only reason why Anderson only coached for 2 years was because Fitzgerald appointed him coach. It was one good thing Fitzgerald did and the later loser CEO wanted to get rid of anything Fitzgerald did. Anderson was a good coach. It was too little too late for Fitzgerald. I cant even understand how anyone with no more than half a brain would support Fitzgerald???

You see them around these days, Kenny, Price, Cronin and Sterlo. Fitzgerald had to leave. A complete loser that couldn't win anything. Glad he's gone. Anderson shot himself in the foot when he said Parra making the 2009 GF had nothing to do with him. What coach doesn't give himself credit!! |

I am sure all the Eels greats are really glad that the Emperor has gone but they must constantly be shacking there head seeing what has become of the Eels. I know Steve Sharp was a screwup but he had his heart in the right place, just doesnt have a business mind, which is what you need to a professional sporing organization.
Anderson may have said that but I would have still given him more time. Kearney was next inline and he was a complete disaster.

You can't put a tradesmen in a managerial position. You're either a CEO from early on in your life or not at all. Definitely should have kept Anderson for a few more years. Stephen Kearney was terrible and Ricky Stuart didn't embrace the Eels culture. |

Janitors dont make good coaches either, but we have a janitor as coach. The Eels are so screwed up in every way.
Stuart was just a total asshole. He did however do a little favor and got rid of a lot of dead wood within the club.

He did however do a little favor and got rid of a lot of dead wood within the club. Janitor of the year - BA!! Coach of the year - Craig Bellamy. Stuart was never going to be anyone outside of Canberra, the only place he may taste success. Whereas, champion coaches can win at various clubs. Gibson - Roosters and Eels, Bennett - Broncos and Dragons, Phil Gould - Bulldogs and Panthers, Tim Sheens - Raiders and Wests Tigers. Stuart is a one town coach. I don't take his premiership at the Roosters in 2002 serious even though it's still an achievement, because that year was a result of Phil Gould, Graham Murray and Brad Fittler. Stuart just stepped into a vacant role with an already strong team. |

That Roosters GF win under Stuart really does mean nothing. He had by far and away the best team cheating could buy.
BA hasnt won janitor of the year yet, he is still on vacation going for the title. I do however give him a good chance, to bring some title to Cumberland. It it the only possibility he has.

If not, it confirms Stuart is a myth!! The Janitor is boring to listen to in interviews. No insight!! He just states the obvious. Even Des Hasler makes sense and he's a weirdo!! LOL |

Des Hasler is very weird, great coach though.
How many janitors would give great insight into cleaning toilets? They would just state the obvious because that is all they know.
I hope the Raiders struggle next year. They seem to do well in recruiting players from England, maybe the Eels could look that direction as well. I know they failed in the past by doing that, but that is the past. Give it a go, there is some good talent there.

LOL BA would be upset if he ever visited this discussion forum. Although, Wikipedia called him a "bush coach" a few months ago. You and I are not his only critics. I don't think the Raiders will go one better, not with Stuart as coach. I think Stuart over-achieved this year. He did well in making the GF, but can he get his players motivated again after a controversial GF ending? |
