Let me add to the train wreck that is the ODFC as this airs itself in a public forum.
It was a committee decision to reappoint Steve Wright not an individual. The vote was unanimous. The committee that have appointed him have now stood down in disgust over what has happened now that is loyalty all except for the new pres he went behind the coach and the committees back. What a guy.
This person who brings in major sponsorship has provided nothing in the last couple of years don't believe me check the books. He promised that he would form a syndicate to pay a 'big signing' no money forthcoming. This person then made written contracts with players then not let on that he had verbal contracts and sign on payments which the club didn't find out til later and have since honoured. This person was part of the independent body that originally signed on Wrighty he also fought to get rid of Pitts. His seconds player mate was even appointed assistant coach to Steve. So no surprise he now wants his mate as coach. Talk about stabbing someone in the back. FYI the ex pres was the one who got most of the sponsorship money and after this debacle the club has now lost this money as sponsors are pulling out. So then who is going to pay the players and then how many players will stay when there is no money.
The club became a better place when certain people walked out and this was reiterated by a lot of visitors and even a league executive.
The one regrettable incident was the Murrumbeena incident where he challenged a supporter of theirs to have the guts to go amongst the ODFC supporters and insult them. He was then king hit but why would we let the truth stand in the way of a good story. So yes all he did was stand up for those of the Districts. When he offered to step down the league asked him not to and may I add the murrumbeena supporter had been in trouble previously with other clubs.
when the ex pres asked if the players had an issue with him on the night of the infamous meeting he was told they didn't have a problem with him at all. So what was said in an open forum at the club was a lie?
The ex pres did listen to the players and did speak to Wrighty on their behalf but this was the same conversations the players were having about Pitts. Btw Pitts did not apply for the coaches job in 2012.
So yes the inmates are running the asylum
what aload of bullshit..
