Its Time For Trigg To Resign.

[OzSparrow]

Maybe some of you guys should come over to Melbourne and experience the crap that the Victorian club supporters give us supporters when we are playing here.

They are not angels either with their responses to our players and us supporters.

 

[King Elvis]

About us being cheats?

 

[OzSparrow]

No, I was talking about the booing during set shots and the fact that you are continually told to F-Off home by the Victorian fans.

Adelaide fans are not alone in this yet we are continually referred to as ferals. Amazing.

I will NEVER go to another Collingwood match again after the 2009 semi loss where my daughter and I were spat on and abused after the siren by Pies fans. And we were in the MCC Members as well.

And Crows fans are referred to as ferals at Feral Park? Hypocrits!

I was going to respond to King Elvis that i thought you meant just in general.. When I go to games in Vic, it depends who the team is for how bad it gets.. But yeah, they actually act like you have no right to be there.. Seen some pretty bad behaviour and funny you mention the Pies, after going to a couple of games vs them years ago, I said never again..

 

[Slippery Pete]

The worry is that they're all so desperate to get him back, which means that despite his failings they know he has more business/football acumen than the rest of them. Shudder.

This is spot on.

 

[Slippery Pete]

The problem is our supporter base is so old.

So is our board

 

[JP Sauce]

In Trigg we trust.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

What has Trigg done that makes him so irreplaceable? I'm genuinely curious here.

This is a really serious question and could/should be a threat on it's own.

Maybe jenny61_99 or anyone else can put together a list of positive thing Mr Steven Trigg has achieved whist he has been CEO of the Adelaide Crows to prove a point.

I'm not trying to set anyone one up or anything like that but if he has achieved as much as the board has implied, complying a list will shut a few posters (me included) up.

Over to you. Lets see the list.

 

[Elite Crow]

So is our board

Our board will live forever

 

[DaftPunk]

This isn't going to end well

 

[Ravenous Crow]

"The easy decision would have been to sack him."

Stay tuned for more quotes from the bizarro world. Up is down, black is white, night is day, good is bad........

I used to think of Chapman as the voice of reason in an otherwise messed up organisation.

Right now it feels trivial complaining about any of the Crows on-field problems.

 

[Mike Smyth]

Wtf is with the 19th man assists? We had one last night even before we scored a goal. Cringeworthy shit is the 19th man concept

shhh it could be worse. They could be playing Rod Stewart songs after every goal. Apart from the players and a few coaches, there's not much about the AFC that I actually like at the moment. The last 5 years have been the worst time in our history IMO.

 

[asdfasd]

Oh.. so the reason Trigg made those 'mistakes' is because he didn't have extra people helping him to do his job. So he was incapable of competently performing the duties of CEO, so we need extra people to help him do his job... but we are keeping him on because he is so good at being CEO... so good in fact that he is virtually irreplaceable...

Chapman needs to go as well. He has no idea.

 

[Mike Smyth]

BTW how did Trigg explain away the fact he lied to the media, players, members and supporters when he continuosly said "there were definitely no deals"?

Would love to know who exactly is on the board so hopefully when the clean does come, if ever, we know exactly who the bad apples are.

Ah but that's the genius of it.. He said there was no clause in his contract..
It wasn't in his contract..

He didn't.

The important thing is that we put this behind us and focus all our energy on the 2013 season

If Trigg remains at AFC, have a feeling that it will be like a noose around our necks & that it won't enable to team to show their best on field, as like it or not he is face of our club's tarnished image. The club should be bigger than individual, but our board stupidly doesn't realise this!

Only have to look at the mob down at Port to see how good leadership off the field makes it much easier to have on field success. Feel for Sando & the football department...

The club is bigger than an individual in some instances, but it looks like this is about the entire board and not just Trigg.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

By the looks of it, he is going to stay for now. However, the very first thing he needs to do is put a plan of attack in place to win back the respect and support of the supporter base.

If he doesn't even do that, we will know he is as arrogant as he comes across.

Some how, I feel it will be business as usual and he will totally ignore it and he will hope everyone else does as well.

 

[Glenno23]

Its certainly a beyond shit situation

I can't see in any way possible he's keeping his job. Its unfathomable.

If the person in charge of the company i work for made such a **** up, he'd be gone yesterday

And then those comments are a doozy. A real slap in the face for supporters who have already taken a few jabs

Trigg, please just **** off and take the rest of your cronies with you

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Oh yeah, it's very clear now that the entire board knew about the contract and the extra deals. In fact, I feel the board knew about it all.

 

[King Elvis]

Has he ever apologized?

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Has he ever apologized?

Doubt it.

Does he even feel as if he did anything wrong?
