Either Wallace is up to it or not
Patrick Smith | The Australian | September 04, 2008
IT is not easy working out exactly what Richmond has done well this season.
The board sacked football hot shot Greg Miller, the president Gary March publicly torched fellow director Tony Free, a major sponsor called it quits and now the club is lining Terry Wallace up for the chop.
About the only positive turn of events at the club was the leap up the ladder: the Tigers finished bottom with just three wins last year and then ninth this season with 11 wins.
We would invite you to at least celebrate that significant jump up the ladder, but March has told us it is not worth a single cheer never mind a merry jig. He has only given that performance a five out of 10. He argues that if you don't make the top eight then the season cannot be considered successful. Just why then he gives the season a five when ninth in a competition of 16 teams can hardly be a pass mark is quite beyond us.
If he applies his standards rigidly then a leap from 16th to ninth is still worth no more than a four. We might also conclude, rightly or wrongly, that the Richmond board knows nothing about football. The club directors still cannot work out whether coach Terry Wallace is any good even though he has been at the club for four and more years.
March has decreed that - in agreement with Wallace, and as though the coach had any option - the future of the coach will not be decided until halfway through next year, the last in Wallace's contract.
Surely it is fair to ask what will the club learn between now and June 2009 that was not bleeding obvious in late 2004 and all of 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008? Either it believes Wallace can do the job or it reckons he is a dingbat. If the directors are of the mind that he is a dunderhead then replace him now and not waste 2009. If they think he has the wherewithal to continue the improvement shown this year then the directors should offer him a new contract so he has the confidence to coach for the benefit of the club and not just his immediate future. Because there is a difference.
A coach fighting for his future is vulnerable - no matter how drenched in integrity he is - to taking an expedient option rather than the one best placed to strengthen the club not momentarily but permanently.
If the Richmond board of directors thinks it needs another six months to figure out if Wallace is the right coach for their club it is more an indication that they need to reassess their competency rather than that of Wallace.
All of this, of course, is predicated that Wallace wants to continue on after next year. He might not now that he has a good indication of the club's faith in him. There is the possibility, too, that he might just have had enough of coaching not only Richmond but anybody. He has just finished his 11th year as a senior coach and that is a long time on the front line.
The Tigers' managerial style this year has not been something they might boast about. First up, Miller. The club sacked the football department head at a critical time in the year with the Tigers very much a chance to make the finals. At the time March said: "What we wanted to do was not be behind the rest of the field. It's well documented there are a number of clubs out there looking for different people - Melbourne, Port Adelaide, West Coast - and what we didn't want to do is miss the best available person once we'd made the decision to move forward.
"All the key decisions that are made around football are made in October, but we felt that once we made the decision, we needed a new person to come into the organisation and we wanted that person in the chair to be part of those decisions."
That was back in July. Richmond is yet to name Miller's replacement while Melbourne, Port and West Coast (until Michael Voss decamped on Tuesday) have been busy filling their vacant positions.
While Wallace would not have been at all fussed by Miller's dismissal, nobody can be impressed by Richmond's handling of it. The Tigers also fluffed the management of Free, appointed to the board, effectively as football director. He commented inoffensively on Miller's dismissal on radio and was then publicly humiliated by March. The president all but indicated Free was talking out of school, had been too enthusiastic for his own good in pursuit of his brief. That Free did not walk away is evidence of a man hard to rattle.
It has been reported that Wallace has not been consulted on Miller's replacement. Well, at least March and the board have got that right. It would be untenable for Wallace to have any input in the appointment of the football department boss because he will become Wallace's boss.
Anybody at Richmond's centenary celebration dinner - now that was well run - could sense that the Tiger spirit is strong and that past players dearly want old Richmond people in charge of the club. If that mood is shaping the board's thinking then end Wallace's contract now and save itself the angst of publicly debating his future over summer and into winter next year. Richmond promises much next year and a distraction over its coach's future could be destructive.
The board can avoid all that by reappointing Wallace now so everybody at Richmond can work together, unencumbered by divisive headlines of the coach's tenure. If the Tigers don't do that, then good luck finding a better coach than Wallace.
It won't be easy.

I think if the tigers are going to sack wallace or any assistants, it will be after coburgs season is over.

We never seem to be able to get our off field matters together. One day we will have a professional administration that is not seen as a ramble by the Football World at large.

no one at the club likes or thinks highly of wallace and his merry men, from the board, boot studder and the players.
it is just a matter of time b4 terry cant handle being liked by anyone and will walk
600k is too big a payout , so march is just making life hell for terrry so he just gives up
lets just all be honest, in 4 years, terry has failed. not negotiable end of story

I would have to say that, that article is probably the best article I have ever seen written by Patrick Smith.

the article was a joke really.
the sacking of Miller was the best thing to happen to the RFC.
How many games did we win after that??

The article isn't about the rightness or the wrongness of sacking Greg Miller.
I would suggest re-reading the article again and grasping the full concept of the article.

i read it carefully, did you?
the article is suggesting amongst other things the Miller sacking was not handled the right way.
in addition to that Smith is suggesting that we should sign up TW for another 2 years. what a load of crap.
what for?? let leather face earn it.
he needs to be kept on his toes not signed for another 2 years when we have NOT mad finals in 4 years.

This is just the way richmond are as i can see it is always happening. So it has become the norm for us. But it makes us a look stupid.

Terry Walace will resign from the Tigers before the grand final this season. In fact the speculation I am hearing is there is a big big chance it will happen tomorrow as early as 11.00 am.

I'm figuring this is true.
Why do I say this?
Because Jack re-registered the other day under the nick Jackstar in readiness to come and say, after four years, finally, "I told you so, you mothers" lol
Wouldn't surprise me if Wallace quit. March has been campaigning and undermining him for a while, just like we've seen on here for the last couple of years and in the media all this week.
If he goes, some people better be right in their assessments because there'll be hell to pay for them if they're not.
Whatever happens, :gotigers

A coach fighting for his future is vulnerable - no matter how drenched in integrity he is - to taking an expedient option rather than the one best placed to strengthen the club not momentarily but permanently.
If TW, or any coach, is more interested in saving his job, rather than doing his job properly, then it’s time to get out voluntarily, or get pushed. Who does it serve otherwise, and for how long?
If the Richmond board of directors thinks it needs another six months to figure out if Wallace is the right coach for their club it is more an indication that they need to reassess their competency rather than that of Wallace.
Maybe so, but what’s the hurry to re-appoint TW? Besides, perhaps things have only recently started to change for the better. Because when TW came to the Club in 2004, he was virtually given free reign. Between TW and GM, they all but ruled the roost.
That was then and thankfully things now seem to be different, and instead of the Club all but handing over responsibility to others, to direct and orchestrate success, they now at least seem to recognise that it is their role to steer and monitor progress, and not the coach or someone else.
And it is their business to know, or at least get to know, what makes a good coach and coaching department. Clubs don’t pay various people within a footy club/department for no good reason. If progress is being made then they need to at least pretend to have an understanding of who is responsible for it and who needs to lift their game. If RFC needs another six months to know more then so be it. Better late than never.
Unlike what seemed the case previously, the coach is not a law unto himself. Who and how TW’s coaching was monitored back then is a mystery. If TW needs to have his ego stroked at every turn, in order to commit to the role, under these new conditions, then we don’t need him. His role, first and foremost, is to coach the players at his disposal. It should be up to the Club to determine what is and isn’t good enough.
Realistically, where is the certainty that next season will see us progress to the finals? Young players progress, and so they should. But is that simply through experience and game time, or because coaching progressed them further than experience alone ever could? And who is responsible for that, TW and/or others? The question I ask is ‘can TW take the players to the level required’? How would we know? It is up to RFC to determine that and act on it, as, and if, appropriate.
I think it’s healthy that RFC question and challenge the status quo, rather than just accept, as has happened in the past, that the next step is a natural progression to finals. We’re still dealing with the effects of the last time RFC took things for granted.
TW is there to do his job and RFC is there to do theirs, which doesn’t involve accepting mediocrity and that things are now perfect and ideal and that our course is assured.
RFC needs to do the right thing by the Club, and TW does not constitute the Club. TW’s authority may have been eroded to what it needs to be for any coach, and rightly so. For the first time in a long time, perhaps things are as they should be.
-
If Wallace goes now then it probably serves everyones purpose. I said this one week ago. If he goes now, he says I left Richmond at 11 1/2 wins with a good young list, locked and loaded lol (his opinion). This means that he keeps his credibility in terms of working in football media. No one can doubt his 11.5 wins this season. On the other side are the people who dont like him or doubt his capacity to win us a flag, if he goes they get there win as well. Richmonds group of youngsters get a new voice and a new direction, if there has been a change hopefully it is a productive change that continues to help us improve as a club.
-
I will say it again that I was one that thought that Terry was the right man for the job. Now in highinsight I think that we could have done better.
And if he goes I will not shed a tear.
But will this give Matthews another leg in to a coaching job or Sheedy.

Na , Hardwick is the man!

Na , Hardwick is the man!
I think Joos has the correct information.
Hardwick is the man according to G. March

And Buckley assistant.

why pay him out for a season though?
How would this be beneficial to a club in any way?
Hardwick - LMAO - What an un-tested schmuck ffs !!!
-
i read that maybe he has a clause in there.
no finals after 4 years then the rfc can do what they like re:contract.
-
The only message this sends to me is,as a player I would hold sweet FA loyalty toward the club as it
doesn't even honor contracts.
There a plenty of other clubs who do....a nasty curve ball when u consider the fact Lids,Cotch,white etc are all young enough to go elsewhere and not skip a beat.
It's really unnecessary at this stage of development.
WTF Is a Hardwick gonna do - bring out the best in a team that has the finally learnt
how to play the brand of footy that TW and the coaching panel have clearly been
trying to get them to play.
Gimmee a stuffen break.
-
Hardwick would add the hardness that we really do need.
-
oh my, there are some wallace lovers out there.
hardwick will get us back to being a powerhouse team, and will get us in finals asap
he is not a bs artist like the snake wallace

That's a fools interpretation as well as one held by an idiot who is continually re-joining the forum under false pretense,mainly because he's an imbecile of plague proportions and exemplifies a basic failure to converse at any other level... :wallywink.

that's the courtsey a new comer gets on here? wow
well wise guy, how the heck do you know that terry did not have a performance clause in his contact? Maybe he did, maybe there was a clause that says no finals in 4 years your contract is void.
and btw wise guy, if terry walks, which is what is rumoured he will, then he is not fulfilling his contract and like he has in the past walked away like a weak fairy, something maybe you have in common with him. :wallywink :wallywink
-
And just think back to when Terry was running out on his last team. Yer fair enough he didn't leave but was sacked for going behind closed doors. So it might be a little bit of what goes around come around. Just a thought.
As he showed no loyalty to them.

Edit: right back to topic and the rumour by fogdog on bomberblitz:

Fair call TS (nice to see you back btw :thumbsup) but I don't think he is interested in trying to save his job. I just think he wants to do his job. Surely he should have some say on who stays and who goes...
I haven't seen anywhere where he has asked asked for a contract extension. On the contrary when asked he has said they'd look at it next year at the end of the current deal.
I've said a number of times I don't believe in contract extensions but even I am starting to think they should extend his contract now simply because I don't want to put up with the rumours & innuendo that are around now and we are likely to have to put up with for the next 10 months.
Isn't it about the club and football?
What I've seen in the last week since the now imfamous "5/10" comment was made on Sunday is the media has gone into a frenzy, which when you think about it isn't a great surprise becuase we are talking about Richmond here...
The media and some supporters want things to go pear shape because it makes good "copy" for the media and they can say "what do you expect it's Richmond" and some suporters want it all to be true because they can feel good about themselves and say "I told you so"
For the first time in a very long time I actually see light at the end of this very long tunnel that we've been stuck in for nearly 30 years and from where I sit that's a GOOD thing
However, with what is going on at the moment I am now very afraid that the steps forward we've made this year in particular are about to be overshadowed by a giant leap backwards because the egos of a few threaten yet again to take over this Club - OUR CLUB
-
ANd it was interesting listenign to 3AW driving home.
Healy asked Graeme Bond what should Richmond do, he said that if it was going to stop the rumours and innuendo and allow Wallace to do the job he was employed to do they should give him an extension.
Bondy suggested 2 year extension meaning he'd coach for another 3 - 2009-2011. Bond said in his opinion Richmond had made significant improvment this year with a very good young list.
Also mentioned that the 5/10 rating was harsh and not a true reflection as we were tlaking about a team that won last year's wooden spoon and most people had predicted another bottom 4 finish
-
The problem is the club's own creation. Publicly stating it's finals next year or never for Wallace. Why did ti need to be made public ::) and whatever happened to just stating the company line of we're going to decide at the end of next season like we originally planned to do at the start of Wallace's contract, it's the way Terry wanted it too, and nothing has changed and if the media don't like it then that's their problem!
The RFC has never learnt to shut their gob ::) and just because the media ask you a question doesn't mean you have to answer it directly. All next year after every game it's going to be Wallace gone after a loss and Wallace staying after a win. It'd be laughable if it was another club.
And now we've got the likes of Patrick Smith writing garbage about the club should by now know if Wallace can coach or not and that the club should sack him and throw away $600k ::). Hey who cares if the main part of Wallace's 5-year contract was not about his coaching but to construct a list that by the end of his term would deliver sustained success in the long-term and that's what he'll be judged by.
As for the rumour - please it comes from an Essendon supporter on bomberblitz where they've been bagging Richmond non-stop for the past 7 weeks since we beat them :sleep. It's now rumour season till trade week don't forget where 99.9% of rumours are made-up :yawn.
-
I have no problem with what Patrick Smith wrote.
IMHO he wrote his piece based on the continuing fallout from the "5/10" comment.
Seriously it isn't a surprise that the media has jumped on this .... since the way the Club bungled the Miller sacking the media has been circling waiting for the circus to roll into Punt Road again.
I still shake my head over the "5/10" thing in a word damaging
I just see this whole thing as sad
And this of course :banghead :banghead
-
Anybody at Richmond's centenary celebration dinner - now that was well run - could sense that the Tiger spirit is strong and that past players dearly want old Richmond people in charge of the club. If that mood is shaping the board's thinking then end Wallace's contract now and save itself the angst of publicly debating his future over summer and into winter next year.

he is spot on about the above.

I dont have a clue what goes on inside the club but to me this is all a media beatup.
He said 5/10 , well good becasue that what it was, 9th is a 5/10 no matter where you are comming from. How do you take that and twist it into TW has to go now or get renewed I dont get. TW had 5 years, they have all said it over and over, so he get 5 years. I just dont see the problem here. Its only a story becasue the media wants it to be and so many people take what these idiots say as facts.
I dont see it as more termoil inside the club, just another reason to ignore most of what is writen and said by the media.

so what happened, is it the end of the world yet?

This is a waste of my time. Why on earth would TW walk - it's just illogical. He walked from his last coaching job because they club asked him to reduce his coaching staff to the bare minimum, bring players payments back to bare minimum and try and coach the team to success with barely any infa-structure at all. How could he have done anything under those circumstances?
This situation is radically different. He has had the support structures built up around him. He has money to play his players. He has built a list from the ground up which he desperately wishes to see come to fruition.
TW is not going anywhere and these type of rumours are nothing more than scare-mongering.
Until people have evidence other than - 'I heard' or ' I know someone who knows someone' stop wasting our time! :sleep

Hey WP, ta for the welcome. :thumbsup Been a while.
I was generally commenting about Patrick’s article, not suggesting anything about TW. I have a thing about any coach trying to save his own job, whatever the circumstances and whoever he is.
What I've seen in the last week since the now imfamous "5/10" comment was made on Sunday is the media has gone into a frenzy, which when you think about it isn't a great surprise becuase we are talking about Richmond here...
The media and some supporters want things to go pear shape because it makes good "copy" for the media and they can say "what do you expect it's Richmond" and some suporters want it all to be true because they can feel good about themselves and say "I told you so"
For the first time in a very long time I actually see light at the end of this very long tunnel that we've been stuck in for nearly 30 years and from where I sit that's a GOOD thing
However, with what is going on at the moment I am now very afraid that the steps forward we've made this year in particular are about to be overshadowed by a giant leap backwards because the egos of a few threaten yet again to take over this Club - OUR CLUB
Surely RFC’s big enough to deal with the media stuff and leave it alone. We know how they work, just get on with running the club and leave the media to do their thing.
I don’t see why RFC should be forced into making any decision it doesn’t need to. If they want to wait until next year, for whatever reason, then they should stick to their guns. And I’d be more disappointed if they made a decision because of outside pressures, rather than because it was in their plans.

I understand your concern WP, but I take a different view, and think it’s healthy to question and challenge things, rather than just assume everything’s on track. That sort of attitude didn’t help in the past. And, for reasons I don’t understand, there didn’t seem to be enough questions asked in the past, of the right people, and is perhaps the reason we’re at this point now.
Whatever happens from hereon in, as long as it’s all done with professionalism, and for all the right reasons, then RFC should do things their own way, in their own time. No need to be spooked by media or other outside influences.

challenging things is healthy but propaganda soaked rants can't be a positive thing.

Agree TS but unfortunately there just seems to be a lack of professionalism at the moment and that's what really worries me

and professionalism starts at the top, perhaps this person is unable to deliver this and if so maybe he should go.
