Peter Nolan and 2 others gone

"These decisions would have been made even if we had won the premiership.

What a load of crap that is. FFS Bruno, you expect us to believe that 3 blokes would've gotten the sack if we won a Premiership this year? **** off now you piece of shit.

Disappointed for Pete. He did a great job in his time at the Broncos and earned his positions the hard way. Has a great work ethic and a really good bloke too.

Just because you win it doesnt mean everyone in the team/organisation is the best man for the job. Some people don't seem to understand that.

Please.

Nolan for years has been a well-respected part of the Broncos organisation. Has always been highly regarded as the best man for the job, and all of a sudden he gets the sack. Coincidence or what??

doesnt matter. Wayne Bennett was a well-respected part of the Broncos organisation, but when it was his time to go it was his time to go.

changes arent only brought about by failure. whos always regarded him as the best man for the job? you? fantastic, he can put that on his resume. he obviously isnt widely regarded as the best man for the job if the review suggested they get rid of him.

Well you can all assume that all you like I guess.

It seems a bit like when Bennett got rid of Lazerus and Belcher when we had a bad season. But I don't know, I am sure Peter Nolan did a great job in parts but he would have been part of some other bad decisions as well. Like letting Boyd go and keeping Steve Michaels haha. Maybe it was time to get a bit of a fresh start with everything at the club. Andrew Gee looks like he is putting some good things in place, Cullen has finally gone which is fantastic!! I am not having a go at Nolan or anything I do think he has done a good job in alot of parts, but who knows it could be a great move or it could backfire.

He's got nothing to do with any recruitment at the club.

Yes he does, everything in fact! and a lot more than Cullen ever has, contrary to popular beliefs. Cullen's job has only ever been to negotiate the deals to give the Coach and football department the squad THEY want, its always been the purview of the football department to decide the roster.

Quick question nopatience101, do you know Peter Nolan by any chance personally?

Really? You don't? Well Jeb does, so I think he would know more about what Peter Nolan did and didn't have anything to do with at the Broncos.

Maybe not anymore, yet I would have expected Peter Nolan to be heavily involved in the player movements when he was football manager, which was the case with the Boyd/Michaels/K. Hunt affairs, to name a few...? [icon_shru

Nolan was football manager from the end of 2007 when he took over from Gee until about early May this year when Andrew Gee became general manager of football operations. Next to Bennett and Henjak he would have had the most input into the roster for those seasons.

I do believe you originally responded to Jeb saying, "He's got nothing to do with any recruitment at the club."

Nothing about a roster. And are you sure Nolan would have had input into the playing roster. Does that mean Gee had input into who played before him. I honestly didn't know that the Football Manager had an influence on who played of not.

 

[Raw Boned Youngster]

For what it's wprth. I think the broncos have recruited more intelligently in the past 2 seasons than in the previous 10. There has been a shift in philosophy for the better.
If Nolan has been involved in that, there has been a major #%&@**** to get rid of him.
The nerdish Brian Cullen needs to have the door slap him hard on the buttocks as soon as possible.
I have said that since I recognised his name.

As football manager he would have been in consultation with the coach over the direction of the playing roster, thats recruitment and retainment, for the seasons ahead and he would have played a large role in negotiations with potential targets well before Bruno gets involved.

OK, this not the Broncos Football Manager PD specifically, but I have seen many many many PD's for Football Manager (or equivalent in other sports) and this is truly representative of the job. You will note there is NO mention of player recruitment/retention. The Football Manager's role is mainly to do with support staff and structures being correctly in place around the team - basically all the off-field stuff:
