    We need action.

    Those under scrutiny,

    Head Coach
    Skills Coach
    Assistants
    Fitness
    Senior players
    Others??

    Blood needs to be spilled to move forward. So whose head????

    I can understand you're a little disappointed, but this is a bit over the top.

    I thought he was the wrong appointment from day one, and the last few weeks have only underlined my belief. We're going backwards fast.

    Disappointed doesn't begin. If I had this kind of output in a corporate environment I'd be dismissed, or I would resign in embarrassment.

    Emotion is a great thing especially on the spur of the moment but we need to make considered decisions not emotional ones.

    I hope the club doesn't serve up a sacrificial head just to appease the frustrated supporter base.

    Would one of you more savvy users whack up a panic button.

    That wasn't an issue you had with him though was it?

    I'm not sold on the coach, but the diabolical list situation isn't his fault. Even you'd have to admit that Andrew.

    So next year if we're struggling you'd replace another coach?

    Depends on the resources you had at your disposal.

    Our coach is having to complete sophisticated CAD work on an Amstrad right now.

    Richmond has a history of 30 years of sacrificing lambs. Funny thing is, they were a very successful club before they started doing that.

    Yeah I never thought he was a good appointment. The list is one thing, the lack of structure, selections, overemphasis on certain skills to the neglect of others is more what I see and can't fathom.

    Fair enough. As I've said previously, I'm not sold on him either. But sacking people after backing in their long term plan isn't the way to manage an organisation.

    No. But I would expect some development, some faint sign of life, a morsel of hope. Not 18/19 losses. You can't expect to oversee such a shambolic result and have key factors going backwards. I would not expect to stay on if I were coach if I couldn't crack double digit winning percentages.
