Re: Board meeting 03/09/18

so...no media was camped outside the club at 9:45 am to spot the directors. 2.5 hrs later, we have nothing but silence. Looks like the so-called ITKs on BF are just full of BS. Possibly. But since when do Board Meetings only ever occur at the club? Precisely. I know for a fact board meeting can occ...

Re: Richo - why wouldn’t you sack him?

Money. We can not afford to sack him. I want him gone now. But I get it. The club can not afford to sack him financially and I am beginning to waver as I consider if we do need to try everything we can first and see if he rises up, for the sake of club stability. That said, can it get much worse, su...

Re: Anybody worried our club might fold?

We arent folding. We are not sacking the head coach. We are bringing in the experienced guns that are experts in propping up a sh!te coach and very good with player development. They may not be good enough to be head coaches again but I reason they be better than Richo. We will play better next sea...

I thought he was a nut case and that's why we didn't get him as coach 5 years ago?

I'm not going praise or bag USA sports but some codes do drafting very well and fixtures are fair year after year.
We need total reform to allow fixture fairness.

Re: So it was all the Assistants fault

I dont agree but the Saints staff think Richo can grow, he can lead the team at least a tad forward and then we save mega money we don't actually have. We add to our massive debt we give the AFL ammo to control our club even more than now! No coach is going to lift us much higher than 6-8 wins at be...

If this is true we could be getting a ripper assistant coach. We need them to paste over Richo incompetence in strategy, selection, player development, well just about everything.
