Of courseIt's pretty hard to attract quality coaches to your club if you are renown for breaking contracts. That's why bomber knocked us back. It's also an expensive exercise. And call me old fashioned but I think if you offer a contract, you should honour it.Great logic. How on earth did Freo get Ross Lyon after they broke Mark Harvey's contract? How did Melbourne attract Paul Roos after they broke Mark Neeld's contract?My logic is not based on what Fremantle and Sydney have done, its based on what we have done. Fact is, we got Hardwick because no-one else wanted us. We had to offer Wallace 5 years because he needed some security in case he got the green grass. Our reputation for sacking coaches has hurt us, financially and as a career prospect.

Sometimes a lack of opinion but a lot of talk and background noise paints a pretty accurate picture too. The psychology is fascinating

Our reputation for sacking coaches has hurt us, financially and as a career prospect.Absolutely agree with this.We (supporters) can argue as much as we like that we haven't sacked a coach for over a decade.Yes Wallace "resigned", Frawley saw out his contract.But the fact remains our reputation in the 20-30 years prior defined our Club and it has impacted on our ability to attract people to our Club.As for fence sitting. Do I think Hardwick will take us to a flag? No I don't but as Yeahright said I cannot see the point of getting rid of him now, mid season. It achieves nothing but the normal carry on about the RFc sacking coaches.Let's get through the season and see where we are, what we have achieved and then make a decision

HHAAARRRGGGHHHH HHHHAAARRRGGGHHHH HHHHHAAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH
I was hoping Speed would get it the first time round, not concerned with O'Neal either way. I'm happy for someone to run the club like a business, with their head and not their heart, as long as there is a please explain directed at the football side when needed when that department isn't pulling their weight.
