    Wallace, Richmond part ways

    Wallace, Richmond part ways


    http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/spo...-19742,00.html

    EXCLUSIVE: RICHMOND and its coach Terry Wallace may have parted ways after a series of meetings yesterday and last night. It is believed the players were upset about Wallace's post-match critique of the team after Sunday's loss to Port Adelaide.

    Wallace did not return calls from the Herald Sun last night.

    Players spoke to Wallace about the closed-doors address yesterday.

    The veteran coach was not immediately available for comment, failing even to return calls from close friends last night and this morning.

    Wallace has been under enormous pressure since an embarrassing loss to Carlton in Round 1, with Richmond languishing in 15th position with just one win.

    Wallace did not arrive at the club's Punt Rd headquarters today by his usual time of 8.30am.

    Richmond assistant coaches David King, Craig McRae, Wayne Campbell and Jade Rawlings arrived at Punt Rd this morning unaware any decision on the head coach had been made.

    Wallace is in the fifth year of a five-year contract and was no chance to coach the team in 2010.

    It is known that Wallace met with Richmond chief executive Steven Wright late last night.

    Wallace only last week went on radio and declared he wanted to coach out the year.

    In the same interview he said he would not put up a fight if the club decided to end his tenure early.
    Richmond president Gary March, Wallace and Wallace's closet football friend, Brian Royal, were not answering their phones this morning.

    The club is due to train at its Punt Rd home at 11am.

    Wow. The Tiges were so spirited on Sunday. I'm shocked at the timing of this.

    Does the domino effect with other out of contract coaches start in earnest now?

    There's an old saying. "Be careful what you wish for".

    We'll have to put up with that voice and mangled, convoluted, English in the media now.

    Malthouse going in for contract negotiations, and Wallace getting the sack may not be entirely mutually exclusive.

    The mail I've heard around is that Malthouse coaching Richmond next year is just about a done deal.

    Wallace and Maybe Choco

    Stealing our people hasn't really worked has it.

    What goes around Terry. This playing group doesn;t think it can take you any further. And again, no send off game.

    Karma.

    Even better, the place is in total and complete chaos.

    30 years of Richmond at its peak.

    What a mess, and they call themselves an AFL club. They're worse off than the guys that had the strippers. (Could make all sorts of all 'hard' jokes but wont).

    A club in kaos more, i have never seen.

    I'd say the Herald sun is in chaos, not Richmond - what an unbelievable piece of crap journalism. Will there be an apology to Terry and the Tigers I wonder? Kind of the same thing for Pauline Hanson.

    Pathetic.
