Miller SACKED Effective: IMMEDIATELY

[Richo for PM]

i doubt the club would sack him for wanting to stand down at seasons end - they would probably have agreed with it.

something very bitter and nasty has happened = there can be no other explanation

how do u know he was sacked, for all we know this is a rumour

 

[tigerdan]

I think good will come out of it. His only use (IMHO) was wheeling and dealing at trade time. When he was boss of recruiting he didn't do so well. In any case that hasn't been his role for a while.

If you put the pieces together it seems that Sheedy will be taking a role with the club and the club wasn't big enough for the two of them.

 

[Tigerrific]

What's the rush?

Why do it now instead of waiting until the end of the season?

Why do it on matchday?

What has happened behind the scenes that we don't know about?

Have they got someone lined up to replace him?

When will the club make an official announcement?

Questions, questions... what's going on RFC?

I want some answers!!!

i heard a report read on the radio up here by drew morphett saying exactly that - it read a lot like a statement - it wasnt said as a rumour - it was clearly stated as fact.

like i said - the whole thing is ****ing weird

3aw are claiming it as imminent

 

[Equus]

Does Richmond ever learn from history? The last major administration shake-up saw us win the spoon the next year! AND THAT WAS ONLY 2 YEARS AGO!

Although the Richmond board stated that our current team is very similar to the first year of the Wallace era, which is partially true (Richo is still Batman and Brownie is still Robin). The distraction that is being stirred up now, especially on the day where we are playing Brisbane Lion, undoubtedly the season defining match of the year, is totally unnecessary.

Whoever it is taking over the role of Miller better be talented, proven and professional and whoever the Assistant Coach that is reportedly going to be sacked will have to stick with us for a long time.

I'm Equus and that's my 2 bobs worth

Lets get something clear. Regardless of whether the decision is the right one, which i think it is the sacking should of been done at the end of the year.
The most disappointing part of all this is that Greg should of seen his contract out to the end of our season - and then be told that he is no longer requiered.
Since Greg Miller has been at the club he has advocated the importance of honouring contracts something our footy club has failed dismally at in the past. I think we owed him that much.
I believe Greg done some really good things for the footy club but also some let himself down in other areas.
It sounds like we are going to appoint a high name assistant that will finally put pressure on Wallace.
None of the current assistants will ever replace Wallace or be a senior coach at another club especially within the next 3 years which i dont think is a good thing. That doesnt represent a strong coaching staff.
Exciting times ahead!!! I think Tony Free will be fantastic for the club as he will make people accountable. This doesnt happen when two people run the entire footy department

those of u that believe miller negated more circumstances than he did good are ****wits but we already knew that

 

[carsoutback]

If a bloke doesn't have some sort of pre-existing view or agenda for the Club, he shouldn't be on the Board. BUT is that bloke the one you want conducting a review of the internal workings of your Club?

As Sir Humphrey Appleby would say "Never start a review unless you already know its outcome". He'd be proud.

A summary form a short grab on 3aw

According to March it's pure speculation at this point

Wants to have a meeting with Miller

Miller says he cant make it

March says its all apart of a review which is still ongoing

Channel 10 just said Miller heard he was going to be sacked at the end of the season and Has walked out on the club.

[Tigersman]

No great loss

 

[Super 27]

All the club needs to do now is get rid of Wallet and you might have a chance of playing some finals footy

A - Like u give a sh it if we play finals
b - LMAO@ how u idiots still hate Wallace.

 

[TigersTale]

Woah!!!
Wtf?

I for one am not happy with this, Miller has done more good than bad for this club!!!

A lot more than most will ever know to grant credit for. Those continual calls came from similar people who called for players like Moore...just eat our own some more why don't we.

I am an unashamed admirer of how the current administration have gone about resurecting this club. Slowly but surely we have stuck to a known plan over a number of years and it is simple for even blind betty to know that it is working. Miller from all accounts has been instrumental in the stability that has been missing at Richmond for decades.

I just hope that this doesn't set us back 10 years.

I also hope we find out why this is happened.


I am BLOODY ANGRY.

 

[patsmith]

Congratulations guys, all you need is to get rid of Wallace and the RFC will be on the way back up.

 

[Tigerland]

I CANNOT BELIEVE THERE ARE ANY OF YOU WHO THINK THIS IS A BAD DECISION!

I am so excited that this has happened. About time. The guy is useless. All he has ever done in his career is Wayne Carey. Been riding on his coat tails ever since.

Bring on a new era!

___________________________________________

I tend to agree but think with Miller.., it was more a case of ability rather than application. I have no doubt he worked hard for the tigers but what has he done. Oakley - Nichols?

I question his commitment to richmond with his interest in the North Melb board.
It seemed he wanted to do what was right and wanted to land another Wayne Carey deal but they rarely happen anymore.

I also wonder if Greg himself bought about his quick downfall - leaking news etc...
I mean would you play poker with him with his cards?

 

[1980]

LMFAO

Did you think they made him resign from the board because they wanted him to stay at the club next year?

Been in the works all season.

Only surprising that it happened today instead of end of the year. Hopefully some tool leaked it otherwise March really screwed it up.

Good ridddance to the Graeme Richmond wannabe. You live by the sword at Tigerland, you get chopped up into fish food when you are a big mouth hack

Greg made one mistake and was not to go for at least Roughead or Buddy.
Should have gone for Lids and then one of them IMO
Not something to be hung for, because Tambo is getting it together anyway and will be okay hopefully.
Getting rid of nearly 40 players and replacing them with kids, and having so many playing senior footy is fantastic.
We have so many kids come through under his administration.
Essendon's drafts from 2000 and 2001 and none are still playing.
I think they've made an error, but that's just my opinion.
I am so rapt we're still in line for the 8 - who would have thought from coming last last year.
Greg has to be given some congratulations for where we are, not the sack.
And did it without the resources of most successful clubs.
I think March and co should really have a good think before they sack Greg.
Another thing is most of these kids having been drafted by Greg would probably have a good relationship with him. They don't need a downer at this time of the year.
Pathetic timing

in theory i agree with that - but i really do think there is more to the story

Inclined to agree, but what would warrant a sacking in the middle of the season. Club better have a good reason for nearly sabotaging the season. Could have quite easily lost tonight and fingers would have been pointed.
I just think Free wants to make some kind of statement and Greg is it.
But I don't actually think we need it, especially after tonight.
This morning, I couldn't care one way or the other, but now I'm having second thoughts and want him to stay.
Be nice if the club could have another think as well.

Line up every single person down at PuntRd and ask them to trade all our picks for Daniel Kerr and there will be just one guy that will say yes.

Keeping Miller away from the draft table at the end of the season is a bloody good reason to sack him

 

[WCE57]

ch.10 says MILLER WALKED OUT ON THE CLUB after hearing that a review may ask for his sacking at the end of the year.

FWIW, isn't that the exactly the problem with Miller, the fact that he has not fought to save his position but instead act in over the top manner at the thought someone was challenging his role at the club.

He seem to want have complete control over various aspects of the club, when he probably should have been up a strong off-field team.

Was Miller behind the trading for Kent Kingley, Mark Graham as well.

Anyway, congrats on the win tonight

We didn't trade for either player.
