Eerlijk. Vaderfiguur. Peoplemanager. Brian Priske (47), de beoogde nieuwe trainer van Feyenoord, is het allemaal. Maar hoe kansrijk is de opvolger van Arne Slot in de Kuip? ,,Hij is iemand die, door zijn manier van doen, snel de harten van fans verovert.’’   In het Bosuil Stadion keken ze wel eventjes gek op, in augustus 2021. Royal Antwerp had net een 2-0 overwinning geboekt op Omonia Nicosia toen achter de microfoon van de perskamer een nagenoeg naakte man plaatsnam. Slechts een handdoek krulde om zijn lijf, één waarmee hij vakkundig zijn edele delen bedekte. Een tamelijk zeldzame outfit voor een trainer.
Maar Brian Priske, de beoogd nieuwe coach van Feyenoord, voelde zich kennelijk wel senang in zo’n adamskostuum. Hij had tenslotte zelf aangekondigd zo ten tonele te verschijnen, wanneer zijn ploeg met een ‘clean sheet’ zou winnen van de Cypriotische club en zo de groepsfase van de Europa League zou bereiken. ,,En daarmee oogstte hij kort na zijn komst meteen goodwill, bij zijn spelers en de media’’, vertelt Diederik Geypen, verslaggever van de Gazet van Antwerpen. ,,Priske bleek een man van zijn woord.’’
Nee, de scène voor de ogen van het Belgische journaille staat niet symbool voor de man die komend seizoen naar verwachting de trainer is in de Kuip. In Priske schuilt geen nudist, laat staan iemand die gedijt bij overdreven veel aandacht voor zijn persoon. Hij is eerder een gentleman, iemand die mensen in hun waarde laat en past voor gebluf.
En toch: ergens zegt het voorval ook wel weer iets over de man, die Sparta Praag de afgelopen twee seizoenen naar twee kampioenschappen en een beker leidde en als hoofdcoach eerder al de landstitel behaalde met het Deense FC Midtjylland.
,,Priske is eerlijk en speelt geen spelletjes’’, stelt Geypen, die hem als volger van Royal Antwerp intensief meemaakte. ,,Spelers waarderen het als een trainer nakomt wat hij zegt. En dat doet Priske altijd. Kenmerkend: hij kan met iedereen omgaan in een selectie. Ook met de zogenaamd ‘moeilijke jongens’.’’   Wat voor trainer is Priske? Wat haalt Feyenoord voor trainer in huis met Priske? Het is een vraag die veel supporters zichzelf stellen sinds onlangs bekend werd dat de 24-voudig Deens international de voornaamste kandidaat is om Arne Slot op te volgen in Rotterdam-Zuid.
Een people-manager wordt hij genoemd door mensen die dicht bij hem staan. Een vaderfiguur. Een kampioenenmaker, zijn tamelijk teleurstellende periode bij Antwerp ten spijt. Maar ook als iemand die als speler van verschillende Deense clubs en het Belgische Genk en Club Brugge allerminst de indruk wekte later trainer te gaan worden.
Vraag het voormalig doelman Sander Westerveld, die de vroegere rechtsback als speler meemaakte in hun gezamenlijke tijd bij Portsmouth. ,,Nee, ik zag toen niet direct een trainer in Brian, dat klopt’’, erkent de Tukker. ,,Maar ik heb ook met Arne Slot gespeeld bij Sparta en in hem zag ik het ook niet meteen, hoor. Ze waren wel bezig met tactiek en het team, weet ik nog. Alleen: Slot ging dan bijvoorbeeld weleens de discussie aan met trainers over de speelwijze. Dat deed Priske niet.’’   Gelijkenissen met Slot Over speelwijze gesproken: die is bij de trainer Priske – die vanwege zijn periodes in België goed Nederlands spreekt – niet in beton gegoten. Zijn tactiek past hij simpelweg aan op de spelers die hij tot zijn beschikking heeft, bleek bij Midtjylland, Antwerp en Sparta Praag, waar hij steeds voor andere systemen koos. Rode draad, niettemin: zijn hang naar attractiviteit.
Zelf zei Priske daar drie jaar geleden het volgende over: ,,Ik vind het belangrijk dat je een goede defensie hebt, maar ik wil het liefst aanvallen met heel veel spelers. Dat wil zeggen: pressing, power, hoge intensiteit.’’ Daarin vertoont de Deen, lijkt het, dus behoorlijk wat overeenkomsten met de naar Liverpool vertrokken Slot. Frank Arnesen, voormalig technisch directeur van Feyenoord, herkent dit. ,,Ik heb zijn trainersloopbaan goed gevolgd, ziet er goed uit. Hij staat ook voor aanvallend voetbal.’’
Feit is ook dat Priske als trainer lang niet zo’n brandschoon blazoen heeft als zijn voorganger in de Kuip. Bij Antwerp was hij dermate lang zoekende naar zijn ideale manier van spelen, dat hij op een bepaald moment de briesende clubbaas Paul Gheysens in zijn kleedkamer vond. Die wilde, halverwege een wedstrijd tegen Beerschot, weleens weten waarom zijn ploeg zo stroperig voor de dag kwam tegen de rivaal.
Het voorval zou impliciet het einde betekenen van Priske in de Bosuil, ook al maakte hij nog wel het seizoen af bij de Belgische topclub. ,,Spelers beklaagden zich geregeld over gebrek aan duidelijkheid onder Priske’’, blikt Geypen terug. ,,Wat is nou eigenlijk onze manier van spelen?, zo vroegen ze zich af. Die duidelijkheid was er onder zijn opvolger, Mark van Bommel, duidelijk wél.’’   De harten van de fans veroverd Toch kijkt Westerveld uit naar de periode van Priske in Nederland. Hij zou het ‘leuk’ vinden als Priske komend seizoen de eindverantwoordelijke wordt in de Kuip. Juist omdat de als voetballer zo onverzettelijke Deen karakterologisch volgens hem past in Rotterdam-Zuid.
,,De supporters van Portsmouth waren op een bepaald moment verre van blij toen de nieuwe manager Harry Redknapp hem als speler op de bank zette, zo populair was hij onder de aanhang. Dat zegt alles over wie hij is. Priske is iemand die, door zijn manier van doen, snel de harten van fans verovert.’’

4th: Shane Powers (Panama - 5th)

i have an issue with my penis, im so sorry. the linsanity run ends here!
u/SMC0629:
Shane is a character who I don't think you can replicate. His focus on humor is something people can find overbearing, but most of it is just a joy to watch. He has some of the funniest moments the show has seen, whether intentional or unintentional. However, the main reason I love Shane is his moral and emotional stuff. From his nicotine withdrawls, to his relationship with Aras, to most imporantly, his bond with his son. It makes for to this day, the best family visit the show has ever seen. Shane is incredible, very deserving of endgame.
~
u/DryBonesKing:
So of all the people in this Endgame who are in my Personal Top 100, Shane ranks the lowest. I’ve actually lowered on him a little bit since this thing started and if I had no deals attached at all, I’d probably have him cut around the same time I tried to cut Lex. One of my 10/10s with minor criticism. But before I get into that, let’s talk up why Shane’s great: because he’s literally batshit.
I cannot fathom how he passed the psyche test to get on the cast, because there’s so much going on with him to the point of it being overwhelming. Shane going cold turkey with his nicotine withdrawal is an amazing case study that doesn’t feel ethical, but goddammit was it entertaining! Shane slots perfectly into Casaya and his dynamic with literally everyone on that godforsaken tribe (but especially his relationship with Courtney) is perfect. Hell, he’s also got an underrated dynamic with Terry as well and I think gives the guy some very interesting characterization in the endgame. Shane’s batshit energy and “bad vibes” however does get offset by his relationship with his son, which I think is probably one of my favorite loved one visits of all time. Boston helps humanize him in a way that you normally don’t get to see for these “crazy” type of characters and their whole dynamic and the build-up to the loved one visit is probably one of the biggest reasons why Shane not only works, but works perfectly.
The only criticism I think I can give Shane is that sometimes, his bullshit does come across a bit too much. Like, moments where he loses his shit on Courtney and threatens to kill her in her shitty apartment? Feels believable in terms of his loss of sanity. Him losing his shit about “his sitting spot”? Pushing it, but I kinda buy it. But that whole blackberry scene? Honestly, a bit too much, makes the whole character feel a little fake. Like I know he’s doing a bit, but he says it such crazed energy and the edit takes him serious enough that it just rubs me the wrong way. It’s admittedly only a single scene so it doesn’t irk me enough to bring him down from a 10/10, but like Lex and his relationship with Big Tom, it’s just a minor nitpick I have with this otherwise flawless character.
Overall Rank – 87/821
~
u/Zanthosus:
Shane rides the line of being incredibly chaotic without it ever becoming concerning or worrisome. That’s not to say it never rides that line incredibly close, because there’s definitely points where he can bring a level of discomfort to the season that makes me hesitant to consider him truly great. Even despite that, though, he makes for incredible TV nine times out of ten, so I’m still glad he’s made it to endgame again.
~
u/Tommyroxs45:
Shane is the soul of Casaya, all of the incredible moments quoted to this day basically all come from Shane. He works so well with the rest of the tribe and how he and the rest of them are somehow able to control the game is baffling but also comedic gold.
~
u/Regnisyak1:
You better believe I am getting him to endgame in Survivor Rankdown: All-Stars to do his damn writeup
Personal Rank: 4/821. 10/10.
~~~~~
u/ninjedi1:
When I was a kid, my bedtime was 8pm. However, because I was a little shit I would usually get out of bed usually about 30 to 50 minutes later and see what my Mom was watching on TV. This would be my first way I would experience Survivor for a while. My first experience were these two guys sitting at this set and one of the guys looked really cool with his beard and funky rainbow shirt. The next key Survivor memory I have is a challenge where they had to swim out and then down to get rings, but one guy drops him to the ocean floor, but then another guy goes down and goes “It was so deep…and I got it!” and that was really cool. I finally got a chance to see more than a couple minutes of an episode where I got to see most of this one episode where one team only had two people left on it, and I thought that they must stink at the game, and I was right cause they lost both challenges. Then my Mom started letting me watch the first half of the episodes about the jury phase of Guatemala, where I was rooting for Rafe cause I thought his name was cool. But finally, I got to experience my first real season right from the start, Survivor Panama Exile Island. Naturally, I needed to pick my favorite to root for in the season, and when I saw this one guy right at the start with hair that I thought looked cool and saw his name, I decided “Him. He’s my favorite”.
Shane Powers (5th Place, Panama)
Shane powers is my favorite survivor player of all time ever since I first saw him as a kid. I was worried on rewatch that I only liked him because I had nostalgia goggles on, but on rewatches I love him even more. The first episode actually greatly sets up who Shane is and what his story is going to be, which is actually pretty incredible considering all screen time is split between 4 teams, and La Mina wins immunity so they aren’t nearly as important for the focus of the first episode. He complains about how all his tribe wants to do is work and wants to call people out for being moronic. He also talks about how he just stopped smoking the day before coming out to the island, so he can’t lash out at anyone while he’s on this detox.
The next episode is when Shane hits a low point in the game. The shelter La Mina has isn’t finished when a huge rainstorm comes in, so they’re soaked, and wonders why he’s even out here cause he doesn’t need the money and misses his son. We also get two iconic lines back to back from him. Most remember the “No more torrential downpours sir god, no more of those!” line, but my favorite as a kid was “I do not like you flea!”. Luckily though, a swap happens and Shane gets first as “the cool guy with the Boston tattoo” to be on the new Casaya tribe and chooses Courtney to be on it. He then immediately starts trashing the season theme by complaining about how didn’t belong in the older men tribe because he was 34 going on 12 and prefers this new tribe as he doesn’t feel like wanting to leave at all. He even gets himself in a great spot strategically as Shane instantly forms an alliance with Aras, Courtney, and Danielle, swearing in his son to stay true and tells everyone that if they screw him he’ll kill them and tells them he’s serious when they laugh. However, that grace period ends quickly after they lose immunity, saying that Casaya is in dire straits and were wrecked physically, and now he was once again done with the game and wants to be voted out, which annoys everyone including the alliance he just made. However, he gets convinced by Aras to stick it out and he just needs water, so he decides to stay and immediately tells Cirie and Melinda to their face that they’re going home. Such a huge emotional roller coaster with Shane, and it's only the second episode.
The next couple episodes do set up a rhythm of how Shane’s experience on Casaya goes. For starters, he starts developing a big hatred for his two biggest allies, Danielle and Courtney. With Danielle, he feels like she doesn’t do nearly as much work as him or Aras, and argues with her about her aversion to working. He also gets annoyed with Courtney simply by the fact that she annoys him, and they end up bickering over everything. Another big part of Shane’s character is his big outbursts, the big one from episode three is when he gets a big rock to sit on and calls it his thinking seat, tells everyone that no one can sit on it, and when everyone laughs he starts yelling about how he just wants to sit on this rock.
These emotions boil over in episode 5 when Casaya loses immunity again, and originally he wants to vote out Bobby, but gets convinced by Aras to vote Bruce. So Shane makes a deal with Bobby, swearing on his son that he would keep Bobby around until final 6. But uh oh, the women of the tribe want to vote out Bobby now, which greatly annoys Shane cause he just promised Bobby that he would get Bobby to F6 and starts yelling at Courtney about it for some reason. He would throw his vote and Bobby went home, but he was so livid he yelled about how they made a bad decision due to Danielle’s emotions while everyone was trying to sleep. He basically wants out of the alliance but can’t because he swore on his son’s name. Luckily for him, all the women on the tribe want him out next, so when asked if he could take back his son’s name, they say yes immediately, and then he tells them that he can’t work with people who make their decisions emotionally and then tells them that they do nothing. At that point, even Aras was ready to vote Shane out. Luckily, they win immunity and go on a reward to a panamanian village. That’s where Shane manages to bum a cigarette off a local and gets an insane rush from it that somehow gives him the ability to make up everything with Danielle, allowing all to be forgiven.
Then the merge hits, and Shane ends up in a really good spot! Since Casaya are up in numbers when the merge hits, 6-4, and he quickly rallies all of Casaya to stick together, giving Shane an easy ride to final 7. That means we get a lot of great Shane moments! We get him asking Jeff to bring out a temptation during an immunity challenge, and when Jeff reveals he doesn’t have any, he just drops out. He complains about the people talking about the reward they won, saying “That’s a problem, I couldn’t finish my bacon cause there was too much”. We get Shane chowing Cirie his penis to check on a rash he’s getting and then him stuffing his face full of cheeseburger instead of doing the immunity challenge, and then says he overperformed at the immunity challenge cause he almost ate two cheeseburgers both in the same episode!
The biggest episode for Shane though was the touchy subjects episode. We do get the funny Shane moments at that challenge where he gets voted as “person who thinks they’re in control of the game” and “most moodiest person”, which he then proves by complaining about Courtney cutting him twice, saying that her life in the game is changing, specifically her enjoyment around camp. He also gets on his hands and knees begging Cirie to take him on reward, which she doesn’t. We also get the iconic Bruce medevac scene, where Shane helps carry Bruce out on a stretcher buck naked. But in the morning, Shane begins strategizing with Courtney, seeing her as a dream person to take to the F2 to beat. They solidify a plan to work together in the game, and then Shane proceeds to threaten to kill her in her shitty apartment if she betrayed him, much to Cortney’s annoyance because her apartment isn’t shitty! This would lead into Shane’s strategic downfall, as Cirie figures out how useful Courtney would be to take to the end while Shane is too busy using a piece of wood as a blackberry to allow him to communicate to people not on the island, and she organizes a Courtney vote, leaving Shane out of it. This shocks Shane when it happens, but gets assured that he is still good for F4 by Aras. This calms Shane down and makes him confident that he’s safe, when in reality he would be next to go if Terry won immunity again. And sure enough, Terry won immunity again and Shane gets blindsided at the vote, and instead of a huge meltdown which everyone was probably expecting, Shane brags about how he’s going to have a chocolate ice cream bar in one minute (extra emphasis on the one minute) before finally getting his torch snuffed.
So all of the above is great. Shane is clearly a goofy crazy character with a lot of funny moments and outbursts, and that makes him a great character, but that isn’t what makes him number one for me. What makes Shane the best for me and elevates him from a great character to a perfect character, is the love he has for his son. We see Shane himself explain how much Boston means to him, as when watching a part of his video from home, he begins to tear up and cry when seeing his son, calling him his son, his brother, his other half.It really resonates with me how much Shane clearly loves and cares for his son Boston out there, especially when you consider the status quo at the time was for men to keep their emotions under wraps. It's especially unique with Shane since usually people who are about their family play the game to win it for him, but for Shane it is what makes him want to leave. The first time he thinks about quitting is when he realizes how much he misses his son and questions why he’s even out there. He cares so much that when he uses his son’s name for promises, it ways on him deeply, like when he hated the people in his alliance but he was stuck with them due to using his son’s name and asking them to let him take it back instead of just outright betraying them, or being annoyed when the vote switches to Bobby cause he just promised on his son name to keep Bobby until F6. We were honestly robbed with that extra scene where Shane thinks he shouldn’t be there cause he’s missing his son’s birthday, so Courtney suggests the whole tribe sing happy birthday for him, and the whole tribe sits at the beach singing happy birthday while Shane just stares off into the night sky is just emotionally powerful. This all leads into the F5 reward challenge, where we learn that the reward for the challenge was the loved ones visit, where Boston shows up. But Terry already won, so it's up to him who gets love. It's generally tense because we know how much Shane hurts and misses his son, so when Terry lets Shane take Boston to the resort with him, it's just so emotionally powerful. In a way, after everything Shane had gone through, getting to finally see the son he missed the whole time he was there was probably better than winning the million dollars. That’s what makes Shane the perfect character to me, as even though he was crazy due to nicotine withdrawal and was high strung, at the end of the day, he was just a father who really missed his son, and I will always love that about him.
