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. _________________ He's mad. He's bad. He's MaynHARD! |

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 _________________ I am Da Man |

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 ![Shocked](images/smiles/icon_eek.gif) _________________ I am Da Man |

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. _________________ He's mad. He's bad. He's MaynHARD! |

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. |
