Title: Gary March to step down next year
Post by: mightytiges on March 04, 2009, 03:07:25 PM

In the latest issue of Inside Football, March says he'll step down as President next year. He was close to giving it away last year during the time Miller got the stuff but he stayed on.

Will this be K.S.' route of entry ?
Should this be classified as a '" rumour " or factual ?

Is this the same issue that had the interview with March on Page 2 and shows a picture of the RFC's club doctor  ;D

I've typed out the story...

Inside Football, Page 3
March 4, 2009

Businessman Gary March replaced Clinton Casey at Richmond after the 2005 season and feels his race will be over once he has served five years.

He said he considered quitting last year after the controversy over the messy departure of football director Greg Miller.

"I found it tough late last year, probably all of us did. It was a real emotional year," he said.

"We had the centenary and all that. For me in particular with the Greg Miller thing and making all the changes that we had to make, people get nervous with the changes.

"They jump at shadows a bit. At one stage I was reconsidering whether I really wanted to go on but I made a commitment to this board that I would stay until the end of my term which is the end of next year.

I wouldn't read to much into the story....

It doesn't say he said he is definitely going .....

It's like a political fluff piece losts of words but doesn't actually say very much  :rollin

It's 20 months away anyway even if March does decided to step down so irrelevant to this year and March and the Board making the decision on whether Terry stays or goes in 6 months time.

Maurice O'Shannassy is Vice President so he'd be favourite to succeed March if there was a change at the top.
