The statement is easily viewed by the ladder.

Saw the report on news but havent seen anything official from the clud, any1 have a link?

Why does every team Gibson play for fold?

FOLD?

WTF.

Anon'196...

A company I worked for was forced closed once, I was one of the last employees left to close the doors.

Did I kill the company?

Probably if your work is anything like your opinion of coaches

Probably not Marcus. But in this instance, if this was to happen, then Marty did.

Seriously Camby, how the hell would we know if you did or didn't? Poor example and most likely just a troll comment. Leave posting to the people who are actually going to stay on topic.

Nice one Spinner - spot on mate!!

was that the north melboune giants Marcus ?

So can anyone confirm the statement from the club?
9 said that the club had issued a statement where Daryl Simmons had said they would hold a meeting to discuss the issues and that they expected to win but wanted to make sure they did the right thing for the long term success of the club

didn't sound anything like not existing?

A little basketball to Spinner

You guys have been on and on about the club and it could be that the owner has had enough and will withdraw his support.

So instead of bagging the club, the admin, the coaches and players, you will have nothing to worry about as you will have nothing to watch

Maybe Boti was onto something after all...

A medal to Spinner please. Nothing but Pure Gold.

Community Ownership is on the cards.

Relocating to the Gold Coast.

I hope that was a joke Paul.

Gold^

From Adelaidenow - 36ers to discuss future of struggling coach Marty Clarke:

"The 36ers board will be meeting this week to discuss the current team performance, along with other relevant board matters," Simmons said.

"The club will communicate key decisions to its partners, members, fans and the media as soon as practically possible, but will not be rushed in its process.

"The board is completely focused on the long-term success and sustainability of this club and will use this principle as the basis for any decision."

As far as the coaching staff goes, there can only really three outcomes:

1. No support - sacked immediately - huge win
2. Some support - sacked at end of season - moderate win
3. Full support - sacked in two weeks :p - win

Will it be that bad if the 6ers go to community ownership?

Lets hope SOS and the board have the same support for Marty & Radford as Anstey had for Braswell!!

I don't know about you guys, but I'm starting to doubt that the person posting in here is ACTUALLY Marcus Camby.

The Knicks hosted the Celtics today - ain't nobody got time for that AND Hoops.

Loco...no problem.

I only played 9 mins tonight, plenty of time to post.

Sheed, Melo and Amare sends their love to Marty and Mark.

Has anyone thought about the possibility that the board will discuss Ken Coles' offer?

^ I don't let myself dream that big.

That would single handedly restore my faith in humanity.

And now that I think about it... it makes a lot of sense.

See what you did?

Now my hopes are up.

I don't think the board will. Was there a fomral offer from COle as it seems more hype than anything else.

I am sure he would love to buy the club but Ken is terminally ill with cancer. From what I understand he would need others to invest with him. IMO it just doesn;t sound that strong.

Last i heard Cole doesn't even own his own house let alone have cash to pump into an NBL team. Last time he was in Adelaide he went to the media with a bunch of grand statements that had no basis.

Was statement even released?

Surely start of the week would be ideal to pull the trigger. Makes you wonder?

Not sure why a board meeting is required to determine coaching direction either. If that is indeed the case. Obviously, some sort of group decision has to be agreed upon, ideally, but wouldn't you think that decision would of been made immediately after sydney game or earlier? Not several days later, after the team has trained and prepared for a game under a coach facing the chop. Not like teams fortunes have dramatically changed.

Have to be ruthless when it comes to this IMO. Could of had a full week under replacement. (assuming clarke looses his job). Will support either way.

I have complete faith that the govt will pour money into the 36ers, in support of their fan base.

It's a vote winner giving the disadvantaged hand outs.

I'm sure current owners would seriously entertain any offers from a party willing to put up a reasonable deposit and forwarding the appropriate paperwork.

Lots of talk floating around but has any of the above been formally submitted. Raises doubt about the authenticity of all the talk if not.

Perhaps all this has come to fruition in the past week. The General is still very popular with a certain HOFer.

Maher has said several times that he doesn't want the job.

As posted on another thread:

People can change their minds Loco, even Brett Maher.

Do people wonder if any of the current NBL coaches would be interested in Adelaide next season?

I don't see why any coach wouldn't want to coach at Adelaide seems like an easy job at the moment you don't have to get results and your contract will still be honoured.

@BK...

Could it be :

- The Weekly 'sack the Coach' threads after every loss?
- Booing the team at home on National TV?
- General disrespect for the coaching and administration team?
- Threads about who to sack and who to keep next year when the season is half way through?
- Twitter'sphere is so ugly that players have to stick up for their coach?
- Posts from 'knowledgable fans' hoping the sixers will lose so the coach is closer to being shown the door?

The list goes on.

@marcus maybe if Marty did what he said he was going to do there wouldn't be so much back lash Marty said i have a three year plan well there is half a year of his three year plan left and nothing has changed except for the players playing for the team we are still on the bottom half of the ladder. Marty said we will make finals this season that is highly unlikely cos we are 8games behind wollongong in 4th spot and have melbourne and townsville in front of us. I have been at post game interviews where Marty has said we will win the next game and not even been able to deliver that. He should be a politician i think he would be very successfull all talk no action.

I'd say any coach would expect backlash from fans after being supported for over two years with nothing to show for it.

I wonder if we would regain the "most knowledgeable" crowd tag, if or when we have a coaching change and the sixers start winning? Would administatration and marty supporters then concede that maybe things should have happened earlier? I know this is speculatory, but it would be interesting to see the reaction.

@BK...

Yes I share your frustration but none of the warrants booing your own team at a televised home game.

None of that warrants hoping the 6ers will lose, or refusing to go to games until the Coach is booted.

You can show passionate support and still do it with class.

I never booed am a season ticket holder and go to every game hoping this one will be different from the last 8 games but have lost a lot of faith. The point i was trying to make is it looks like management accept poor performances and will stand behind you no matter how bad it gets who wouldn't like a job where it wouldn't matter how bad you performed you still get paid

Nothing is 'kiiling the brand' more than the booing from home fans and the constant Sack Marty chatter.

What's happening in the WNBL?

It's a simple equation - win games and it all goes away.
