KT and Koch can't sack Hinkley this year. It'd be too big a knock to their reputations.
We were lucky with Sanderson that his demise coincided with a big switch in the Board and CEO. Ricciuto knew that Sanderson was toast, and he and Fagan weren't tied to Sanderson or felt pressure to retain him and were able to make a clean break. One of the reasons we were treading water under Trigg was that they were so entrenched which meant that any big decision meant that mistakes had to be admitted. He left, and it allowed changes to be made. It was still a very ballsy decision to sack Sanderson.
KT knows football and football clubs more than most, and a sh*tload more than Koch does, and he would know that they're in strife.
