You make me laugh smokey.
You say quote "" A CEO prime responsability is to turn the aims of the board from Vision to reality and in this Wright was mostly successfull.""
Now Aprils fools day is still 3 weeks away. 
The club has endured a very poor 5 years.
The way they handled Wallace was poor.
The Miller saga was poor.
Could go on and on but wont.
Lets move forward
Wright and March have done most things right. 2004 saw us with massive debt and an overblown football budget (thanks Greg) despite coming last and losing the last 14 games.
Casey should have been voted out then but the tiger ferals bought the Miller messiah mesage and casey got back in "on his record!".
Casey was hands off and delegated the footy stuff to supposed experts, operating in the same way he ran his nursing homes and property deals.
Casey fell for the Miller spin and bet on the wrong expert. Greg landing on his feet after being relegated to being a Hammerhead played his way back in to AFL and started putting his finger in every pie. He promised and delivered Nafan and Kane and nudge nudge wink wnk hooked Terry. Wallace chose us not because of any unfinished business or because we had a better list but because Miller said; "Dont worry about Casey - you've got a five year deal. all's sweet - you run the show as you want. I've got your back. "
Casey had to go and as soon as Wright and March got in, they worked together to wrest control back of the club off Miller and Wallace who could gamble as much as they wanted as it was most likely going to be their last footy gig.
From bringing in Free, Cameron, promoting Jackson, conducting the review, the aim was to rebuild the club as a professional unit and not being run off hunches by Miller off the smell of an oily rag. Wright did magnifiently in restoring financial control firstly and then bringing in funds and two developments at Punt Road and Craigeburn.
Miller had to go so as to make Wallace accountable and that was handled brilliantly. The press will always try to spin a bad richmond rabble story but the timing and mode of Miller's demise was excellent. As bloodless and efficient as it was ever going to get.
Wallace started getting antsy with Greg gone and realised he needed real results not spin, but spin was mostly all he had together with a few hail mary plays. Richmond worked on its blueprint for the future which needed unity from president and coach. Wallace had a chance to conform and perform. It was not to be. Wallace's departure was handled brilliantly. Richmond never wavered or played to the press' timetable who kept jumping at shadows declaring our coach dead prematurely. They were also as decent and fair as they could be to Wallace. Negotiated a smooth departure mid season by consent.
Process for the new coach also exclellent -Again never spooked by the media and ran its own agenda - contrast this with North who were prostituting themsleves to every handsome stranger who walked by and then trumpeted poaching Scott off us even though he had already been excluded from our final 4.
To the present Gale has come in and lifted the CEO profile although in relation to getting things done Steven Wright was great.
New coach, new assistants, new players - young off field young on field with lots of ambition and talent and united around an dentifiable plan on field and off.
Fantastic stuff and credit to March for the smooth and deliberate way it has evolved.
Will we succeed from here on in? - Who knows but we've been able to poach some of the very best talent around like Lade, Leppitch, Hartley and our development and strategic coaches.
We focused on skilled and smart as requirements for our recruits and Hardwick will require or instill the necessary competitiveness.
For the first time in ages I feel as if the RFC is in the game and not some half ar$ed operation.
