Maybe the thought of working under Sheedy's ego for another year was too much to bear.

Can we afford, or find a place for him though?
Fantasia is our football manager, and we already have assistants we're trying to bolster (if you believe the talk about Cameron Mooney).
So where does a personality like Williams fit in to our organisation? If he does have the smarts to be a football manager do we get rid of Fantasia? I'm pretty sure there's a lot of people on this board that would like to see the back of him, but is Williams going to be a better performer in that role?
As a development coach Williams would be good for us due to his technical knowledge, but does our club have the cash to pay the amounts GWS would have been paying for that role?
I guess it's all moot now...

To be honest no we probably couldn't afford him. But I'd feel much more confident if Macca had a hardened, experienced match day coach to work with. Development is Brendan's bag so I'd leave that to him but someone like Williams in a Football Director (like Rocket at Collingwood) or as a senior assisstant would be perfect as I have severe doubts on Macca's ability to work out a gameplan and as a match day coach.
Great appointment for Richmond - think Williams has a lot to offer. They must've been very quick off the mark once Sheedy signed on for another year.
More of an In Bruges guy?
