So there's so much talk about getting rid of Hardwick.
Main problem is finding the money to do so. Figure quoted is $1.3M. We can't afford that but the argument is that keeping him will cost more in members, attendance and sponsorship.
However there was a little thing mentioned by Caro on Footy Classified last night.
She dropped a comment about the payout being a problem for the "off field spend cap". I think she called it the "soft" cap.
Thinking about this it seems that if we payout the $1.3M it will be included in our spending cap and we therefore have to pay a "tax" on top of that to the AFL.
Ouch.
PS: Must admit I liked Caro's article quoted above. She hit a lot of good marks.
The one I think she missed, as do most commentators, is the poor and decreasing communication from the board. The review is a prime current example
