You'll find that the Pagan's contract was done at seasons start not a few weeks into the season. Pagan hasn't been critical of the players nor has he tried to punish them on the track (Which really should raise an eyebrow).
You'll find that the decision was made after the winning of the wizzer cup. If we didn't win the wizzer cup and sign the Dan Murphy sponsorship, things may have been different. I really like my theory !! Shite, it may even grow some credability
For those people who know Collo, the guy wouldn't go and extend Pagan's lucrative contract for another 3 years so early in the season unless there were a huge amount of benefit for the CFC. Last years performance was, I believe, an attempt to lure some sponsorship money to the club. This year was the start of the rebuilding of the team with a nucleus of good young kids from the draft.
I'm going to make a huge bold statement now by saying that I think the agenda is and we will finish 10th next year, in the 8 in 2007 and then in the top 4 in 2008 .
As for Clarkie, the majority of supporters criticise him, and I sort of understand where they come from years gone by. The reality of the situation is, that he just turned 25 this year, and his performances in the Ants have been more than enough to warrant him a proper go in the seniors. I do have a special interest in him as a sponsor, but if he was that bad and we are tanking the season, then put him in for good measure.... The issue is that DP has something against him that he is still to find out. The couple of times DP has spoken to the guy this year (and I mean that literally), he has commended the guy

I for one, would like to see him given a good run in the seniors to get used to the pace again and at least try to prove something. He's done everything asked from him by BM. Just can't work it out !!!! I think I will need to work out another conspiracy theory.
