balme approached by alt ticket

[hotdogandsauce]

interesting to read that neil balme was approached in august by the alt ticket to be football manager, interesting considering that the alt ticket have constantly came out in support for greg miller to remain in that position and thought he was doing a great job....


the alt ticket arent as clean as they are making themselves out to be...

[SaveFeriss]

If this is true, then it's scary to think THEY approached Neil Balme.

 

[starkravenmad2]

this is ******** poor when schawb been saying greg safe we want him still......he now exposed for what he is and it not good

 

[Infamy]

Would love to hear Schwab's response to this one considering it came from their #1 fan Pahoff

would also explain why greg aligned himself with casey then doesnt it? the alternative had the gall to say Casey was playing dirty by getting Miller on his ticket



the alternative has just sunk themselves

Loved balmey as a player but as a manager he he dosn't exactly inspire .

If Miller is the ace in Casey's pack, then Balme would be contender for the joker in macek's.

Yeah Balmey is a hack as a manager, only two GF appearances in the last 3 years for Collingwood, not as good as GM's magic touch (or is it touch up)with the tiges.

 

[mellowyellow]

Oh and i thought malthouse should be the one credited for taking them to successive grandfinals .

Dont tell me balmey's being taken credit for that as well. ha

 

[silence ofthe Robert]

Its seems that there are a whole heap of football managers employed by the 15 sides that finished above us that are a complete waste of space and as useful as a shag on a rock. Lucky we have the ridgy didge superstar model. Just think where would we be without him?

 

[mellowyellow]

I Just think where would we be without him?

Dont assume i extol him above all others,i dont. I just happen to believe he is a far better operator the balme, but i guess time will be the real arbiter.

Go ask those restlesss collingwood ferals what there thoughts on balme are . At the moment it's the antithesis of what most richmond supporters feel about Miller.

Talk about playing fast and loose with the truth.

The club got in touch with Balme because he was rumoured to be leaving Collingwood and we needed a new Football manager to replace Greg Hutchinson. Balme declared himself a non-starter.

Later the position went to Paul Armstrong who had previously held the job with the Dogs.

and you rekon the prsent board is i cannot believe how deluded our fans are

 

[BalmyArmy]

Lucky Balmey has an "E" in his name otherwise I could take offense to some of the earlier posts.

Its the same mentality of get former players back to the club that this new ticket has. Thinking that Bryan Wood and Woosha along with endorsements from Jess and Bourke will get Richmond out of its rut. I liked all those players but that doesnt mean that they are for the present.

I dont like Maguire but at least his motto of only the best for Collingwood is the one we need - substitute Collingwood for Richmond of course. (I know Balme was part of his recruitment but its the motto not the execution that I appaud.)

Miller is the best in the business and while Balme was a good player, scum fans on the other scum thread would give him to us gift wrapped like we would have given up Frawley to any idiot club that would take him. Dont take offense Fremantle.

 

[silence ofthe Robert]

I wonder what you judge 'best in the business' by. Results or PR?

He has two former players on his board in Kevin Rose and Ian McMullin. Need some football expertise there.

Furthermore is McGuire the best example? Let's not forget his running mate and vice=president Brad Cooper and the HIH scandal and investigations for fraud. Will you be votisng for Gary March?

Balme was approached to fill the Football Manager vacancy that went to Paul Armstrong. Not to replace Miller, and not by the challengers.

 

[deliberate!!]

If you've ever met Balmey....and talked to him for very long.....
you'll discover his hearts not at Collingwood...
matter of fact......his heart isn't anywhere......Balmey just does a job.......he may as well
be on the factory conveyor line of an ice cream factory for all the regard he holds for anything
football....

bad move if they get Balmey.....
the guy has all the passion of a plank of wood!
