Port Adelaide,Power,Coach

Despite regular rumblings about his job security, Port Adelaide's Ken Hinkley has an impressive coaching record — and it is easy to forget the challenge that confronted him when he arrived at the club a dozen seasons ago.

Power coach Ken Hinkley is no stranger to job speculation, but his sights are firmly fixed on the upcoming preliminary final against Sydney.In the feature film The Damned United, which depicts that debacle, there is a scene in which Clough is subjected to a less-than-decorous rant from a team chairman, who delivers some humiliating home truths about the position of the coach in the pecking order at a professional sporting club.

"He knew that he'd stepped over the line," Power CEO Matthew Richardson said on Saturday, after Hinkley himself expressed contrition over the incident. in what was then the Power's biggest loss since it entered the AFL. As a spectator who attended the game later recalled, it was a record that lasted all of seven days.

The departure of Clough from Leeds was arguably a happier separation for the former than the latter. In the five decades since Clough was sacked, Leeds has claimed a solitary top-flight title.
