Told 2weeks ago, see what happens today

I'd be shocked if Steven Wright was pushed out, he's done a brilliant job
Clearly they would have known about the departure for some time as Wright would have had to give notice so we could find a replacement so it isn't surprising to know weeks ago that he was going
Wright is one of the few appointments the RFC has got spot on in years.

Your spot on TM

Jack your wrong.
I can assure everyone on this forum and the Richmond community Steven Wright resigned as his recovery has taken longer than expected I wont go further into it as I'm not his Dr and have the decency and class to admit I don't know everything about the situation, unlike some on here.
Fact is Steven Wright needed a big big rest to help him further and speed up his recovery before it gets serious and March found it appropriate to approach Brendon Gale as replacement. For Steven and the clubs sake everything was kept in house for weeks.
Best of luck to Benny really looking forward to seeing him back and would appreciate if some would respect the club and the hard workers we have rather, than posting incorrect information that only hurts the clubs and the respective individuals.
All the best Stephen and welcome back Benny. :gotigers

It's funny isn't that whatever comes out in the news always mean in some people's views that we are crap, have always been crap and will always be crap regardless of the circumstances of the situation.
As Pope said welcome Benny and thanks Stephen and best wishes

Here's the official reports.......
Ill-health forces CEO Wright to step down
richmondfc.com.au
Mon 10 August, 2009
RICHMOND chief executive Steven Wright has informed the club that he will stand down at the end of the year for health and personal reasons.
Wright, who suffered from the debilitating Guillain-Barre Syndrome in early 2007, has been in the top job for five years.
"At the time the specialist told me that following my illness I would need to work in a low hours, low stress environment," Wright said.
"Unfortunately, the 24-hour, seven day pressure cooker football environment is the exact opposite and in my time at Richmond I have put every ounce of my energy into rebuilding this wonderful club from the ground up.
"Over the past 12 months, in particular, my body has been telling me to slow down.
"Sadly I won't be able to continue as CEO of Richmond, the club that I love, and as a consequence, I advised president Gary March recently of my intention to stand down from the role at the end of the year, allowing the club time to find a suitable replacement.
"Pleasingly, I will continue to remain involved with the club in the coming year as a consultant working on both the $20 million redevelopment at Punt Road and the creation of the Australian Institute of Indigenous Learning and Skills Development.
"Over the past five years we have worked hard as a club to bring in long-term sustainable improvements.
"Whilst on-field success has eluded us during that time, the board and staff have created the building blocks that will ensure that the success each Tiger supporter craves is not too far away and when it comes it will be for a sustained period.
"I thank president Gary March, the board and our staff, sponsors and members for the fantastic support and loyalty they have shown to me over the past five years."
Richmond president Gary March said he was surprised and disappointed when Wright advised him of his decision to stand down but fully understood the issues he was having with his health.
"Both personally and as club president, I would like to recognise and thank Steven for his outstanding contribution to the club as CEO over the past five years.
"I am pleased that he will be able to continue to work with us to see through the re-development of the Punt Road Oval, a key milestone during his time at the club."
Wright achieved a number of milestones during his tenure as CEO, including:
• 40% increase in football dept expenditure whilst still delivering significant profits
• record membership each year – over 42,000 total members in 2009
• $20 million dollar fundraising for the soon to commence PRO redevelopment
• the creation of a fully funded $10m secondary training venue at Craigieburn
• a fantastic centenary year in 2008 culminating in the "100 Years of Tiger Treasures" Gala dinner
• a stable list of bluechip sponsors
• an outstanding community program overseen by the Tigers In Community Foundation, of which he is a director.
"Importantly, he has also totally restructured and created a professional administration which will serve the club well in years to come," March said.
"On behalf of the board and all Richmond supporters I thank Steven for his significant contribution to Richmond and I wish him and his partner Vicky all the best for the years ahead."

March welcomes Gale with full-force
richmondfc.com.au
Mon 10 August, 2009
RICHMOND Football Club has announced that former player and AFLPA chief executive Brendon Gale will take over as chief executive at the end of the season, replacing Steven Wright who is stepping down for health reasons.
Gale returns to the club after five years at the AFLPA, where he has achieved many significant milestones and has become a highly respected CEO.
Richmond President Gary March said the board was very fortunate to have secured someone of Gale's calibre.
"He brings a wealth of industry experience to the club for which he once played,” March said.
“The board thought Brendon was the ideal candidate to take over from the strong platform established by outgoing CEO Steven Wright, and continue to restore the club to its rightful position as a powerhouse in the AFL."
March said he was surprised and disappointed by Wright's decision but fully understood the issues he was having with his health.
Wright suffered from the debilitating Guillain-Barre Syndrome in early 2007.
"Clearly his health and well being are paramount above all other matters. Both personally and as club president, I would like to recognise and thank Steven for his outstanding contribution to the club as CEO over the past 5 years," March said.
"I am pleased that he will be able to continue to work with us to see through the re-development of the Punt Road Oval, a key milestone during his time at the club.”

New coach 'extremely important'
richmondfc.com.au
By Ben Broad Mon 10 August, 2009
NEW RICHMOND chief executive Brendon Gale will play a part in appointing the club’s next senior coach.
Gale, who on Monday announced his resignation as CEO of the AFL Players’ Association to take on the main job at Punt Road, said he would finalise in the coming days exactly when he would begin work at his former club.
However, the man who will take over from Steven Wright – who will step down due to health concerns – says he will be kept abreast of any coaching developments.
The first round of interviews have already taken place for Richmond’s next full-time coach, with current caretaker coach Jade Rawlings among a host of candidates.
“I think the club has been very robust in the process it put in place and they’ve stuck to that process, but given the importance of that decision, I’d certainly have an involvement in the appointment of that coach,” Gale said upon his announcement on Monday morning.
“I think it’s extremely important for me and the coach.”
Gale, who has been chief executive of the AFLPA since 2005, said it was “appropriate” that he resigned from his duties at the AFLPA immediately.
Current AFLPA general manager of operations, Matt Finnis, will assume the position of interim chief executive officer. Gale will play a role in the handover process.
“In the meantime, I’ll be getting briefings on the respective [coaching] candidates and where they’re at and I’ll look forward to joining the club towards the end of the season,” Gale said.
Gale, who played 244 matches for the Tigers from 1990-2001, knows the significance of the coaching position.
He admitted Richmond had had “issues” in the past, but he didn’t believe the club possessed a losing culture.
“I think clearly we’ve under-performed, there’s no doubt about that,” he said.
“The club is a very successful club, it’s been a very powerful club – often regarded as a ‘Big Four’ club.
“I think it’s fair to say it’s not a 'Big Four' club right now.
“I think the expectations that our supporters, our community, the Richmond family have of the club are very, very high, and so they should be.
“I think when our club falls short of those expectations, we get marked pretty hard. And that’s okay, we’ll deal with that - but we’ve got to do what we can do, and we’ve got to build for the future and be the best we can be. And I’m sure we will.”
