Precisely why I've questioned your credibility for the last couple of years.
You used to love the man  :-* :-* :-*
Unfortunately for you, it was a one-sided love affair  :rollin

Can tell you I never liked him. You dont have to like people you work with you know, just need to get on with
I thought that Steve Alessio and Dave Wheedon were extremely clever and knowledgable.
Its amazing how when they left(2 years ago) we went backwards, quickly.
Steve Alessio, HUGE loss, replaced by Monkhurst :chuck

Richmond people.....

I am Richmond person - do they want me at the Club?

I reckon they want my $$$ every year but I doubt they actually give S-hit about me.

I am sick to death of this crap and it is just absolute CRAP :banghead :banghead

This is the very reason we are joke.

Delude yourself and say it is the on field but it is the off field...

I am coterie member do I get a say?

Oops sorry I am only a little fish coterie member, not one of the big fish groups so I don't get a say....

It's actually hystercial if you looked at the numbers, you'd find that the little fish coteries because of thier numbers contribute just as much $$$$ on a purely membership scale compared to the big fish but that doesn't matter it all gotta be about the big fish

Same old same old... people who think the RFC is their own personal play thing with their pathetic hidden agendas.

That's why we are a bloody joke

Bloody well sick of it

Richmond people my a-rse :banghead :banghead
:clapping

And there are those in these "big fish" coterie groups who hop from one club to another and couldn't give a stuff about the RFC ::). Others are too busy making it their life mission to undermine and snipe those in official positions which has been going on since the 80s ::). So much for being "Richmond people"  :banghead.

As I said on another thread I have no idea what this term "Richmond People" actually means when they say we need "Richmond People" back at the club?

Seriously, what's the criteria?

Does it mean you have to be a former player?

A long time member?

SOmeone who has chucked in a few extra $$$ over the years?

What exactly is it?  :banghead :banghead

Sad thing is that I reckon some of these big fish probably aren't even sure themselves what is means... just probably think it sounds bloody impressive stuff anything else

What difference does it make Moi????
Whether we keep Wallace or not it is obvious the club is EXTREMELY DEFICIENT in a little thing called PROFESSIONALISM. Unfortunantely the lack of it has stifled and development our footy club has needed to take. Currently it matters not who is coach or whatever ,we are going down the well travelled path of mediocrity failure unprofessionalism. Question is if anyone comes to coach the club will they have the aggots to separate the on field from the off field. Furthermore will the off field stabilise itslef on these new appointments or will individual vendettas and pursuing of  own interests intefere. I know I as a fan have had enough of it. All I have heard is we will do this..... and this..... and this.... and this will be 26 years with 2 inals appearances. Even Fitzroy have had more since 1982. It hurts me to watch us fall short all the time. Perhaps its time for the fans to make their voices heard. Perhaps if 15000 members did not sign up next year......................
You can't separate the on-field from the off-field. The club needs to function, as you say HT, professionally as a single unit to succeed in both areas. It needs to stick to long term planning and not tear everything down and start again whenever there's a step backwards. Success isn't built monotonically especially when you have a young side. Young sides are frustratingly notorious for being up and down.

What's also laughable about this "Richmond people" push is favourite sons like Hafey, Bourke, Patterson, Sproule, Jewell (twice), KB and Northey have been burnt moreso than any outsider in the past 26 years. Add other former Tigers who tease us before continually declining requests to comeback yet these coterie clowns still pine for them  :wallywink. This "Richmond people" nonsense is all just nostalgic feelgood garbage. LOL limiting yourself to people from the worst performed 1/16th of the competition over the past quarter of the century to take the club forward  :stupid.

 the board is fully aware of the contracts in place and know of the reprecussions if they were to be broken.

oh there are quite a few names on the interview list for the vacant position, more than the 4 mentioned in the media. :whistle

the 'bring richmond people back to the fold" campaign is media driven. :lol

Thanks 3rogerd. The club doesn't have the money to break contracts willy nilly.

You would hope the club has more than those 4 candidates on their shortlist.

Yep, but he might not want to coach where he isnt wanted and walking is an option
