When can we expect to be relayed that information as it pertains to Marmol?
Today?
Tomorrow?
In a month.
I think today is a good day to be fired.
He really needs to be gone guys.

Ownership was happy with Oli's job, he did this year.

I expect that news to filter to the fans sometime today.
If not, then this is just a chicken [shirt] organization.
Which it is.
So, you may be right.

My guess is Oli will be retained. If Bill is determined to have a repeat of this year, you don’t need to hire another, better manager to run the clownshow. Oli is just fine for low expectations.

This is going to be BDWJr's call, not Bloom's and Dewitt knows 2026 is yet another "throwaway" season so he'll (likely) bring back Oli who's under sontract for 2026.

Hate it.

Pretty sure it's coming but hope like h e l l I'm wrong.

If they keep the marmot drop another million off attendance for next season...they want to run it like a bottom feeding club make the attendance reflect that...put it 70s level attendance.

Will it be BDWJr’s call or BDW3’s call? I don’t know how much of the reins have been turned over to SonnyBoy.

Either way, I’m afraid we are stuck with Oily Marmot another year, which will depress attendance even more.

Personally, I have mixed feelings on Oli. Firing him seems to make him the scapegoat which I don't like. Oli was not the major problem last year. The roster is the problem and correcting it should be the focus.

That's where I'm at.

If we'd had high priced talent that was in their prime and not achieving, then I'd be all in on firing Oli.

With this team, you can forget the "talent" part of "high priced talent".

Bill Jr is 84 yrs old Hawk' but still holds tightly to the reins of power, it will be him.

Fredo is an idiot, not sure Bill Jr wants to turn things over to him.

Unless C. Bloom makes some seriously great trades this winter that excites the fan base, I can see under 2M in 2026. :oops:

Bringing Oli and Dusty back is a huge mistake if it happens, unfortunately I think that's exactly what Dewitt will do.
