Unfortunately not, Dave. Someone on Nick's pointed out a few weeks ago the ManU performance guy decided not to come over due to family reasons. I think we've developed a bit of a relationship with the club though so hopefully we keep our toes dipped in there and one day entice him over. |

So it's the Holden high performance altitude training room inside the Westpac centre.
I know sponsors play an important role but it does irk me somewhat that the Collingwood name and brand seems to always play second fiddle.
I hope for the day when it's the Collingwood centre with just an acknowledgement of our sponsors and not the other way around.

Well it is a Massive Move. We think WA to Vic is a Big Move.
England to Australia is a Massive Move and with Family it be harder again

What it been said - Yes it is in the Westpac Center and it's a Reason why we won't Travel this off-season

I don't presume to know much on the subject, but surely the ManU guy would be on a lot more money than we could ever offer him? I imagine that also comes into play. Considering what they pay their players surely the coaches would be getting a fair slice of the pie too. I know they turn over a profit which would make collingwood look like a fish & chip shop. |

That would also be true. He probably be getting the same as what the Whole Team is getting under the Salary Cap

Hopefully Bill was the absolute best available and not just available.
I guess I'm being a footy snob but a CV that includes stints with the dogs and aints just doesn't do much for me.

I have no doubt that Collingwood would go for the best available. He mightn't be our first choice but the few articles I read on him he seems to be highly respected in the field. And he did take the dogs to a couple of prelims.
Plus with us having the best facilities this side of the equator you'd think a top sports scientist would salivate at the chance to work for us. |
