Someone has to do it if Vince is too sick to handle it himself. Doubt it's a particularly lucrative or glamorous position.

I would think there wont be much of a team to manage next year...
Steve is just going back to the role he had last year...


Vince is extremely unwell..

How unwell is VInce?

Last reports i heard he had handed over day to day business dealings to his next in line..that was before XMas...

most of hte businesses that he had bought in the last 5 years are now back on the for sale market...

So by the way is the Lightning..

I hope so on both counts...I certainly hope he is recovering well...and i hope the lightning is getting stronger too..
hard to blame Breheny for the on court stuff when he has come in when the team has changed so much...
has been hard to watch a proud club go down as it has..

Could we see the return of JAN?

if things are as hard to work with in the organisation as gets chatted about on here i would say no way...

that may be the biggest stumbling block for the team as a whole..recruiting with the innuendo from those who have left the club...ohh and on here...:)

148, Now that would be an interesting combo.

Considering the results of the past 2 years with Brehney at the helm, why would Vince want him to remain in charge?

Really, in 2 years they have gome from finals under Brehney to bottom really. And I would suggest that West Coast, Townsville, Bendigo and Logan pay less than the Lightning.

And if you contacted enough players who were good enough, you would have gotten some responses and not lost local players to interstate teams. ie Tess Madgen.

One call and offer dosen't get the job done.

If you are in charge, surely some of the blame must be directed in your direction.

Again, Marino would have lost more money than most other teams, and ended up worse off.

So surely its not ALL about the money?

I thought that meant he was responsible for recruiting and coaching the team last year?

One would think that carries a fair amount of responsibility.

Agreed Rabbit. He was and is in charge...
they will struggle imo to get players and coaches to the system unless they pay good $$ and that is not what I am hearing..
in fact the opposite..

I think the reasons as to why players can't be attracted go further than just money .... the much debated Daddy-Daughter has to cause some issues. Even if it is all perception, that would be enough for some. You look around the WNBL and see how many quality Ex-lightning players are out there. Not because they weren't wanted, but for some other reason that was enough in may cases, to make them move away from their home town.

Most of the former Lightning players who relocated away from Adelaide were interstaters originally

Whisper is Dean Kinsman will be heading home

So by lemons are u saying that Liz Cambage, Tess Madgen, Rach Jarry, Cayla Francis, Marianna Tolo, Katie Ebzery, Mia Newley, Stephanie Cumming, Nicole Hunt, Renae Camino & Kerryn Harrington are all Lemons?!! I wouldn't mind having that team in the WNBL.

I would say Kinsman will be around the mark...He has been in SA plenty recently and I would not be surprised if he did the job..

i know he will want to set up a program similar to what he did after the AIS job...to top up his wage..

Anymore news on who got the Lighting job?

If Townsville folds, maybe Peter B will be looking for a job
