Proposed email to Greg Miller
« on: July 28, 2004, 01:19:01 PM »
Dear Greg,

        With all the negative publicity in the media, leaked private emails, idiotic petitions, alternative tickets and threats of an EGM at a crucial time in our Club's history, we as a group of fed up RFC members felt the need to email you and offer our 100% support towards yourself and all the hard work you are doing to get our Club out of the 20+ year mire it has been in. We value immensely your impartiality and being able to look at our Club objectively as an outsider sees the club, something we just cannot do. The thought that the current mess could result in your departure from Tigerland, the loss of bargaining power to recruit talented players (eg: Travis Cloke) and the real threat that we as a Club will once again miss out on the best coach available is an absolute disgrace. And the unthinkable - indeed, the immediate future of our club seems dire as a result of the current unrest.

        After living through the past 20 years of, to put it bluntly, crap, we totally sympathise with your anger and frustrations towards
certain individuals and minority groups who blindly continue to force their own destructive agenda and hold the future of the Richmond football club once again to ransom for their own egotistical and selfish reasons. These people don't speak for us. Unfortunately we as a Club at times are our own worst enemy. Although your email should have remained private, at least some home truths about the Club were finally aired.

        We cannot control what people think about the Club on our forum - oneeyed-richmond.com - and nor do we want to - however we do support and respect the privacy of people's personal thoughts expressed in such letters and if any such material was to air itself on our forum, the administrators would delete it immediately.

        Hang in there Greg. We're right behind you. Please stay on for the sake of the Richmond Football Club.

Yours the Tiger faithful,

        (Names)

We plan to send this email off as soon as possible. It was written before the truce today but we still think it's important to voice that we are not happy with what has lead to the current climate and to fly the flag. Thanks to WP and froars for their help and opinions.

Let us know what you think.

Under (Names), I'll be using my real name in the email but I'll leave it up to everyone's own preference to either use their OER "nic" or their real name. We realise people like to protect their anonymity on the net. If you do want to use your real name PM me or email us at admin@oneeyed-richmond.com.   

Cheers, MT.

While you're at it, ask him WTF is all this I read about in the Sun today that he's opened a juice bar business with several Richmond players.

Dont these fkrs make enough money playing footy? And really badly at that!!! Tell him to keep his mind on the footy and not worry about extra curricular business ventures with players because:

1) they're making enough money
2) they're not doing their jobs properly anyway
3) if he's partnering in business with the players outside of footy, it affects his ability to manage them within the club

I'll be sending it off tomorrow morning to give everyone who wants to add their name or nic to the email a chance to do so.

Cheers,

Sorry guys I cant be a part of this one.......
I refuse to support it as it portrays Miller as being clean as a whistle when he has a role (and blame) like the all the others in this.
