The Daily Telegraph journalist was speaking on NRL360 when he made the point that Pay has been handed broken promises after broken promise by the Dogs board.
After three years of rebuilding the club, Pay and the Bulldogs parted ways on Tuesday.

But Kent said that the Dogs whole premise of being a family club while talking to other coaches and their managers was a hypocritical.
All this talk about them being the family club is a fraud, Kent said.
I think that they brought him in under this notion that they were going to make him part of the family club and hes got to regenerate their DNA and what happened is the board said to him that theyre getting all this interest from outside managers and coaches and that they thought it was only fair to see what was there.

Pay, to his credit, said well if thats what youre thinking then clearly theres not a place for me, Im out.
Theyre an ordinary side who lost their best performer this year in Adam Elliott, I know Luke Thompson, came in and Kieran Foran is playing for them. But beyond that and perhaps Josh Jackson and Aiden Tolman aside, theyre a reserve grade side. Theres not much talent.
Pay essentially walked before he was pushed. Kent admired the coachs stance and said that his likely replacement, Trent Barrett, was walking into a whole host of problems.

I love it, I just am really disappointed with the Dogs, Kent added. Theyre a club who for three years now have told us how theyre going to get these family values back in the club. Theyve just shafted him.
Theyve done nothing in three years to support him in his job. I say this to Trent Barrett who I like and think has ability as a coach. I would go into the job under a warning because Trent Barrett got out of Manly because the club had failed to live up to some promises.

But he left a Manly team that had Trbojevic brothers, Daly Cherry-Evans, Addin Fonua-Blake, Marty Tapau, Dylan Walker and hes going to this rabble where again theyre making promises where this new board and administration have so far been unable to deliver anyone beyond Dylan Napa, who came to them after the Roosters gradually eased him out, and in the past week Luke Thompson.
