Personally I think he will single handly make sure we remain mediocre for another 10 years, if we fail to sign up a decent coach this time, we are doomed.
Whats wrong with this clown holding off until January? seriously would have to be a better time.
-
I reckon I have made thoughts on Pahoff very clear ;)
Short answer NO
-
If he comments on who SHOULD be coach or if he comments on anything to do with the coach...NO.
If he shuts up and just has the petition waiting for the ticket to form itself then YES
-
NO!
He is an absolute disgrace.
This could only happen at Richmond.
I have no problem with change and if people want to change, go and seek election! Not hold guns to peoples heads which has happened in this instance !
I can tell you this that he has made a big drama with the coaching situation, fact, not opinion !

Spot on Jackstar my fear has always been that this whole thing would cause some major damage - I think he may have already done so
-
I WAS impressed with his initial effort(weeks ago) BUT now,in light of Caseys offer and the ever mounting speculation regarding our clubs political climate and stability,Im of the opinion it's time to hang the bastard from the rafters art punt road.
A little bit of exposure can translate into the birth of a maniac.

Can I be like Frawley for a minute and find a positive out of this?
* At least Hawthorn are just as stuffed as we are and have Don Scott causing the same amount of damage.

:rollin True, but a tleast Don Scott has some creditbility - not much but some
BTW Schwab has stood down effective immediately. Wodner who's going to coach them - Dermie :lol
-
For sure Dermie. :thumbsup

Since when was a nerd like that good for anything? Spotty little man.

All Pahoff has done is collect a few signatures.
He has recently stated that he prefers not to use them and hopes that the 2 groups can resolve the board room problems.
IMO Miller is using Pahoff as a smokescreen to look after his buddy Casey. I've had a gutful of Miller. Your'e either with RFC or not !! None of this "I go if he goes" !! Do we really want someone like this running the footy dept. ?
I didn't see a professional like Pagan up and leave when Elliot got the boot.
Don't be fooled by Miller and Casey's comments that a coach will be scared off by Pahoff. Don't use Pahoff as the cause of the instability of the Club which Casey has already created way before Pahoff came into the picture.
Pahoff has done nothing to damage this club other than use his constitutional right to collect signatures and make the board accountable.
-
Harry you make some good points, I'm inclined to agree with you.
Miller's conduct is especially embarassing in light of the fact that this whole petition business was brought up because of the incompetency of the Casey regime. To say he will leave if he doesn't beleive the new group can take the club forward is a joke. If he held that view he should have been on his bike already.
As to whether Pahoff is good for Richmond, well I'm not sure. In terms of making our club appear unstable in the public perception he is not good for the club, and if that keeps potential coaches away then he is bad for Richmond. That the alternative ticket is schithouse also makes his behaviour somewhat unnecessary.... But we must not forget the Casey regime was/is a big time rabble to begin with, and you'd expect potential coaches to know that....

I've been against Michael Pahoff's course of action, and I voted "no" in this poll.
He was interviewed on WLF tonight and said he is happy now to drift off into the sunset.
If this is the case then I reverse my vote and my opinion of him. He didn't present his petition so I would think it fair to say that he could be credited as a catalyst for today's pleasing outcome and held in high regard. (subject to him actually disappearing and not in regard to him posting Miller's email.)
-
I don't. I think he legitimately put the club in a dangerous position, and just lucky that the warring factions had more level heads than he did.
-
Yep, agree with you froars on this one.
I am sure as soon as Miller seen that he had posted the email on PRE that he would have wanted to smash that fool in the mouth.
I know if he had bought the club to its knees and i seen him at the footy then he would have not walked home from the ground.
He is a D*&khead.
-
I know if he had bought the club to its knees and i seen him at the footy then he would have not walked home from the ground.
But that's the gist of the point I'm making. He didn't bring the club to its knees and has said he won't now even though he still could by presenting his petition regardless.
I also have an unflattering opinion of him in relation to his time in the limelight. What I'm trying to convey is I think credit should be given where due, and I believe it's due to him if he goes away now.
I am extremely happy and relieved about what transpired today. It may have happened anyway if he had never come on the scene but it also may not have. I'm contented enough to give him the benefit of any doubt on that issue.
-

I have not changed my opinion of him. >:(
As for drifting off into the sunset - going by what Brendan Schwab said in the paper yesterday - if wasn't for him (Brendan) Mr Parhoff would have submitted his petition earlier. So much for being independant :banghead ::)

How come I havent read anything like that about Casey??? Funny thing is he has done more damage than anyone else....
-
Michael Pahoffs actions have made Casey and the board aware that there are supporters out there that have had a gutful and demand some sort of accountability.
Without such actions these people would have continued along their deluded, merry, and incompetent ways thinking they had the suport of the members. Also they would have paid no respect to the Schwab challenge.
Pahoff's petition put the fear of god into these fools and gave them a taste of reality. The petition was a clear sign that the people were not happey.
POWER TO THE PEOPLE !!
In terms of Pahoff posting Greg Millers letter, he did the right thing IMO. Tiger supporters constantly complain that we are always kept in the dark and that there is no transperency. If Michael kept the email from us then he would have been accused of this also and would have been as bad as Casey and co.
Michael has forced Casey and the board to become more accountable and transparent, something we've all been crying out for. Michael himself has been transparent and has had the interests of the RFC at heart all along.
Abusing him for this is a bit rich IMO.
-
I refused to sign the petition, and stand by that decision.
However l ask myself,would Casey have been challenged and forced to act and then be forced to compromise if Pahoffs actions weren't taken??
Would Caseys position be up for election??
Would the books be open to a outside pary other than a current board member before the AGM?
The answers no.
If Pahoff had have forced the spill l would have been livid.
He hasn't,and lm forced to admit that we as members are better off for it.
