Those that are after change can support Leon.

The unrest at Richmond is set to escalate with a long-time member launching a website to gain support for change at the very top.

www.richmondrollercoaster.com.au
WTF is he actually doing?

Trying to gather support to initiate change to the board.  Could be gathering candidates to challenge.  Has indicated more will be revealed soon but needs people to register if they are not satisfied with the current board and want change.
In other words, you dont really know, and most likely neither does he.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?

He is list building, lead generation tactic for marketing propaganda purposes.

From what I can gather seems he's putting a team together to challenge the board.  More will come to light and people will find out more I'm hearing.  You can always do nothing if you're happy with the lack of direction and poor decisions of the current board.  Alot of us want to know what alternative there many be to help take us forward.

yet we dont know what that alternative is, do we?

seriously, is he hoping to put his ticket together from those who sign up on his website?

This is the alternative?

No substance, no plan, no nothing.

Does he even know the options available and how to implement them?

Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.

Aren't there any extremely wealthy highly connected person with an uncompromising commitment to success, an uncanny ability to recruit or attract the best people that have the same uncompromising commitment to perform with excellence with a fanatical resolve to succeed and that can singlehandedly change the culture of the club that could be our president? 
The club that keeps giving.

One thing that's always put us behind the other three of the big four - never really had the support of the big end of town, no high profile sugar daddies to just throw money at us or pay out dud coaches and poach good ones. Not a club of the establishment. Closest we came was with the Turk but of course he upped & died just as he was about to splash the cash. The luck of Richmond.

Good post. The collective intelligence ranks with most NRL clubs.

This is just the start of the process.  More will be revealed.  The way I see it is hes probably got the bulk of a team assembled but giving people the opportunity to apply to help bring in the best possible people.  Once it's revealed you can decide for yourself.  This isn't a case of an angry supporter causing trouble with no clear plan.

again you dont know you are just quessing.

It seems he is either flying by the seat of his pants, or ir running it like an election campaigne.

- tell em as little as needed and drip feed info through out the campaign.
-spend more of the time convincing the sheep that the others are more poo than you

either way doesn't inspire confidence.

go find someone that has definite plan and has the people they need on board before they go public.

If this bloke had any clue that website would have all this in place and a way for members to officially register their support for a vote of no confidence in the current board.

Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.

As I said you can stick with the current mob and enjoy the lofty heights of EF losses.  After all, we've been so poo that we should be thankful to the current board for these achievements.   Lock them in for another 10 years.

Or you can go with possibly worse because we have NFI who they are and what plans they have......

I'm not a great advocate of the current regime but hell, the alternative group should have at least a plan and a group we can identify.... :whistle

I've said this many times over the years

I have absolutely no problem with people running for the board; none

But....

I want at the barest minimum some plan, some vision of what they intend to bring.

 I am not interested in people standing up and telling me what the problems are because guess what I know what the problems are. Blind Freddie can see them, we dont need to be told and repeating them to everyone isnt going to get you elected.

Every peron who has stood over the last 10 years have done the same thing, bleated about the problems but not offered one plan, one solution. That's why Russo failed last year, he offered no alternative, just pointed put what everyone already knew

Have to offer alot more than that
