News FOF Ticket Watch - Challenge called off.

[Groupie_]

So if you had a contract for a job for the next 2 years and others disagreed with how you went about it, you would just walk??

Sure you would!

not dh

 

[Red Bull]

Oh dear they want the coach to stay!

All over !! Just like that ...

 

[Goldust]

THEY'RE not very convincing! A bit of a shambles really!

 

[Caveman68]

Just heard some of the presser. Loved the part about focusing on football and overhauling the FD. Not sure about confirming to keep Dimma. They should at least say his position will be reviewed.

 

[Groupie_]

They say they havent spoken to Balme and want to keep Hardwick

LYING!!

 

[PoppedCorn]

Might need to change the thread title.......

 

[Slipps]

Everything is an upgrade except for keepinng dimma but hey if we keep the board now we still have dimma without any of those other new ideas they had... So who would people rather ?

 

[docko911]

If you're a new board the first thing you should do is review the coach.

Maybe there is a reason to keep Dimma.

Maybe our match committee really are responsible for team selection and Dimma is always outvoted...

Maybe but you have to at least ask.

Seems like they are just after the positions of power.

 

[I_Love_Thee_V]

They just lost me at keeping dan richardson

 

[Tigerturbulance]

Caro will have some juice tonight

I will pass on the caro juice and stick to to my beer

 

[Calcium Man]

Yes because he only ever talks to the media. No way he could have... you know...talked to Dusty away from the media?

The way he, Rita and her little offsider attacked Dusty through the media was atrocious and they should have apologised publicly. The simple fact they haven't is a bigger disgrace then the media campaign they ran!

Why are they saying they will keep him?

Wonder if they know how large his payout is! That could be the only reason no body wants to get rid of him.

 

[TigermanM2]

Hmmm....perhaps they should have finished with "We aren't going to take questions at this time..."

Think the flack of doing that would have been less.

 

[Smithy06]

My family lost a lot of money to Monteath. I wouldn't trust him with my footy club

 

[Roachy8]

he wont need to...he has the current board's support ....and bewilderingly...now the challengers support WTF?

the world has gone mad

Does not have this boards support -

 

[smasha]

Fitzpatrick writing up the worst fixture in history for Richmond while sending Balmey on a first class flight to Brisbane as we speak......

 

[Mr Magic]

sliding door moment

I am actually starting to question this challenge as a possible clay tons challenge.

It might be a set-up to thwart other challenges.

The trouble is Hardwick, Gale, Dan Richardson staying for the moment as a collective status quo, all A Graders staying, the only changes might be Balme in and new recruiting and development and a more comprehensive review.

I think it could be a bit shallow like one commentator mentioned.

It worries me they have not been more defined about the strategy and less defined about specific people!

 

[richoBABY]

lmao at that 'neil balme texted me and wants no part of this'

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Anyone hear the Doctors statement that the current review is being run by a firm in which one of our board members is heavily involved with!!!
What a joke, anyone that reckons this current board is serious about change only has to look at "sticky tape" decisions like this one.

 

[tigerdan]

Is 'Focus on Football' the new moniker for 'Richmond Rollercoaster' and everyone's fave Facebook-post deleter?

All the ferals are agitating for changing the coach and your ticket wont sack him. There goes your raison d'etre. Way to go guys.

And whats with the 9-year terms for board members? Chinese communist party springs to mind. What is the justification for that? It's not like we have been a revolving door and need stability.

I'm all for passionate supporters to help out the club, but running a rival ticket that is quite happy with the current board's off field results just defies logic. If you are worried about on-field why not work with the existing board?

 

[TigermanM2]

Brian Wood has that "What am I doing" look.

 

[Goldust]

So we have a current board who think nothing is wrong ... and a wanna-be board who think plenty is wrong but want to keep everyone involved.

 

[Sir_Loin]

TJ said he texted Balme and he said he didn't want a part of it

That kind of sucked

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

the GWS game was our worst performance

 

[smasha]

They want to keep Dimma.

 

[Calcium Man]

TJ said he texted Balme and he said he didn't want a part of it

That kind of sucked

Whos TJ?
