Manly hit rock bottom
TRENT Barrett felt so let down by a perceived lack of support at Manly that his manager sent the club a long list of the coach’s grievances.
The feud between Barrett and Manly chairman Scott Penn can be traced back to this litany of complaints which the Sea Eagles boss flatly rejected.
The Bulletin understands manager Wayne Beavis emailed a list of complaints about how the club had allegedly failed to support Barrett.
Penn’s dismissal of Barrett’s concerns shows just how far apart the pair’s views were on the Sea Eagles’ plight.
Assistant coach John Cartwright is firming as the favourite to replace Barrett at Manly, who tackle the Wests Tigers in Sydney tonight.
