Title: 3aw rumour file
Post by: one-eyed on July 21, 2009, 02:42:06 PM
Did anyone else here hear 3aw's rumour file this morning whereby someone claimed Ian Wilson and some past greats were forming some group to try and topple the current Board?

Surely this is just made up.

They replayed the rumour file audio on 3aw tonight saying Ian Wilson and past greats are going to hold a pow-wow meeting this week about the future of the RFC.

* Caro said she's embarrassed by it and hopes it's wrong. The last thing we need is her father and others causing turmoil. They've had their time in the past and Dad's time as Prez was successful but he time was up when he finished.

* She has great sympathy for March as he inherited a mess from Casey/Miller. He also handled the difficult Wallace dismissal very well. The last thing Gary needs is Dad, KB, Sheedy and Perry causing him problems.

* Caro said making on the spot decisions is what made Richmond great back in a day but it was also what got Richmond into trouble as they did not move with the times.

Just prescribe an increase in the dosage of their pills for the old farts and tell them to STFU and sit where they are. It's no longer for them.

Roland Weeks, as of the weekend, was still standing as well
I saw him and asked him lol
Straight from the gee gee's mouth
Didn't get to say much to him but he's disappointed how the club has gone backwards in the last five years

Wonder if her and her dad are on speaking terms lol

Yep let's put the lunatics back in charge of the asylum  ::).

1985 was Wilson's last year in charge wasn't it? The same year we lost $1.5m out of a revenue of $2.5-3.0m  :banghead. Equivalent to losing $15m in a single year today  :o. Not to mention the trade wars with Collingwood that sent us broke and star players and former captains walking out. Oh and who let our 4-time premiership coach walk out on the Club too. Yep let's go back to that great admin  :help.

It's only a rumour on talkback radio for crying out loud.  Give the 'named' people some credit for having half a brain.  Think about the likelihood of that rumour being a fact before casting too many aspersions or throwing too much mud.   :help :banghead

To be fair, he was about to tell me what he thought but we got interrupted before he could.
So not sure on why exactly he's standing but he says he is.

Not all of those named have been quiet little wallflowers of late either smokey. It wouldn't be the first time they've embarrassed the Club with their actions.

The rumour has to be garbage as any challenge would be embarrassing not only for the club but especially for those who are being named as challengers.

Fair enough Froars. I just hope anyone who challenges realises they are running for a position on the Board and dealing with mostly off-field issues. They're not running to become our next coach and have a hands on role inside the footy department. A director shouldn't be into micromanagement. You employ people instead to implement the Board's directions for the organisation.

Backwards as in ... turning 2 plus plenty million dollar operating loss into a mill plus profit and securing a massive government grant to redevelop the Punt Rd. oval ...

They can take over my personal finances right now .

The football dept. was one inherited by March and is now gone.

Funny how all the old mothballs are falling out of the cupboard at the same time  ;)

RR - I have no beans to spill  ;D

It has been well documented in the papers recently by Caro that the past players have wielded to much influence down at richmond for a long time.

Yesterday she named names regarding this "rumour". One of these names was her father and another was Mike Perry; who is high up in the past players group at Richmond. Just putting to the 2 together and making an observation  ;D

 Fair enough WP. It's just the way that you phrased it led me to believe you might have a story to tell. I guess the point is that these old players should stay out of the current machinations of the club, and just accept that it's 2009, and their day is well and truly over. Would you agree? Anyway, I'm off to the Cocktail Night soon, so 'bye for now.
