"credibility" = sack the footy department (incl head coach) if INs issued
"the buck has to stop somewhere"
'healing' requires new persons in the footy department;
otherwise there will a perception of lack of accountability
the captain has to go down with the ship
the minister has to resign
here is a media article about Hird => Hird is making this all about himself
these kinds of statements are all intellectually lazy, & the sort of rubbish that most of the media base their misinformed opinions on
credible governance & accountability means holding managers to account for what they can be reasonably expected to control. we're not going to sanction the needle manufacturer and we shouldn't sanction any manager who acted responsibly & that might include any of the remaining footy department staff + Reid
if we are going to recover from this saga we need to employ the best people at doing their jobs - not the best people in the eyes of a blinkered media who want Hird's scalp to make them feel relevant. we started a new era with a clean out post Sheedy & the immediate result was non-competitiveness. if we have a good coach, the best available, we should try to keep him
we also need to demonstrate some ethical integrity - loyalty, substance over appearance, truth and never ever letting certain people outside our club influence what we do, are amongst some of the integrity factors we should follow.
