If major changes don't happen at the end of the year well we are completely stuffed.

All coaches accept Rutten must go.
At least 10 - 15 players must go.
That many new players to come in including a bloody star or two.
And pee that Hartley off and ask for a bloody refund!

We are so far off it its not funny :banghead

Perhaps if some of you weren't so worried what Russo was or wasn't going to, you would have noticed that little tactic which happened around the same time

Who cares anyway his gone soon enough just like captain shettino on the costa cordia

Thats is wrong

The constitutional changes happened 5 years ago. Not last year

If yiu going to whack get your facts and timelines right.

And don't forget your mate Joe said Hardwick was a good coach and should be kept

Is that tears I read.
Sure is.

You say Russo didn't give any vision,  but then happy to pick out the one line which he would have just said to keep supporters like you happy. How many presidents have said the coach is safe but then a week later his gone. Wake the stuff up WP.

U were very vocal against Russo so tell me how is Peggy going for you?? Still got your great vision for the future of our club run by this fool and her sidekick fail

Gee your cheapshots when challenged & when you are called out for being wrong are childish at best  but I digess

In answer to your question I think the board from the president down to the CEO who is on the board as well have been shocking this year. I said when they extended Hardwicks contract they were wrong in doing so.  How convenient that you fail to acknowledge that point.  It was a stupid decision and now we are stuck with this mess.

Just because i don't sit and attack a person's performance based on their gender like you do doesnt mean i think they are doing a good job.

The president's blind fairh in the CEO, actually the entire board's blind faith in the CEO is the biggest mistake they've collectively made in the last 12 months. Because that faith resulted in the contract extension.

Clear enough for you

Who proposed the amendment WP?

The board

But who proposed it really isnt relevant

It could have easily been defeated if people had bothered to take an interest and vote

All the things that had me believing at the time it was a very poor idea have come to fruition

We are reaping what we sowed

People keep banging on about complacency.on the board and with the club

Stuth members were bloody complacent on this issue

Would love to know how many of these people disillusioned with the club and  considering running for the board were there that night qand voted YES or just didnt bother

If you were there WP surely you would know who proposed it and seconded it.

Sure you voted against it but those who proposed it need to be held accountable because they sponsored the motion.

incorrect. I think woman can be good leaders (Westpac,  Hilary, Marie Barone,  etc) but not at the RFC. The club is littered with females on the field so you want to get a female president who will wrap them up in cotton wool like she has done with dimwit. Come on..She is behind this stability rubbish that much is guaranteed. We dont want to be known as the tigers of old aye peggy so lets give every stuffer 8 year deals while our best 3 or 4 players approach 30.

It was a bad move to begin with and my stance has not changed. As i see it there should be no one on the board that was around for those wallace years, as most of them have.

In my opinion she was chosen because we wanted to be seen as a leader in gender equality but its backfired because she is bloody hopeless regardless of her gender. Gale and Peggy Sue have truly stuffed this right up, and have no where to hide now, which is why i am so certain that dimwit will be our coach for at least until mid next year or later, because the pair of them are too gutless to admit they stuffed up.

The best thing we can do as a football club is replace the lot of them except speed and start again. Problem is who is going to do it.

Truth and reality is we are completely stuffed until Gale leaves or gets the arse. FACT.

You are incorrect Angus in why she was chosen.
The board was split 50:50 (4 to 4). Speed was brought onto the board with the understanding he would be the next president. The problem was that there was the O'Shannassy backed group which did not want this to happen. In the end it was going to be a mess. So it was decided by both groups that neither should take power and that Peggy would lead as a "peacekeeper". That is the only reason she got the gig as she was seen as "neutral".

I think that now that the board has lost direction, Peggy must take responsibility for these mistakes. She must show strength and ask for Gale's resignation because it was he who advised the board to extend his contract by 2 years. If she is unable to do this then she must go too.

There is no point being president of a club that does nothing to correct mistakes that have been made. Peggy has never wanted to "rock the boat" and has wanted to stand back and give the plan a chance to work. However, this is akin to me seeing a patient worsening in their health, believing the treatment I instituted was the correct one, and ignoring the cold hard facts that I am wrong. If I don't admit my errors the patient will die. If Peggy does't admit to her errors, the club will continue be a basket case for an indefinite period of time.

Everybody makes mistakes. Fools are the ones that refuse to correct them when they are painfully obvious for all to see.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

The definition of insanity is to do the same thing and expect a different result = Richmonds recruiting of players who can't get game in the seniors at their existing club and expect them to be stars.
Richmond has done a reasonable  job off the field ( financial and operational)it's time to turn around the on field performance and never give up attitude and aggression you must have.

So Peggy was brought in as a peace keeper rather than someone who has the tools to do the job? Yet some voted for her on this basis. Classic if true but i still think there's an element of gender equality in her posting. Who wouldn't  have guessed a circuit breaker and a great outcome just happened to be a female. Come on. Tell me who exactly decided she was the Neutral choice out of Maurice and Speed?

This further underlines why she has no place running our football club. After all she was asked to join the board by G Miller right. stuff she must be good then aye knowing that blokes eye for talent.

She has no  idea mate and the funniest thing I have heard all year is you hoping she has the smarts or guts to sack Gale.

Not going to happen pal. She is a weak president who doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings especially Brendans
