Loophole in Richo’s contract
According to Tom Morris, there is a performance clause in Richo’s contract which means the club could release him at the end of 2019.

Re: Loophole in Richo’s contract
I can. If we manage to have a poor start to next year - say, 1-6 - the pressure will become unbearable. No one - club, coach or supporters - can tolerate a dead-man walking scenario.
Go you red, black & white warriors

Re: Loophole in Richo’s contract
Can not believe we have to sacrifice a season (that’s what next year will be) because that absolute twat Finnis and Board decided to play “corporate managers” and extend this muppets contract. Effing unbelievable, unforgivable
Just go Finnis - head up the AFL re-genderisation program but stay the eff out of football decisions.
Ferking lawyers....head up arse but feel they can manage anything cause they’re a trumped up solicitor FFS

Have a think about this year… if he was in the last year of his contract like he should have been when we had One win from 12 games in June, do you think we would have extended his contract? Not a chance.
When a coach has a W/L ratio of less than 35% there is absolutely no need to extend their contract a full year early, it's an absolute furphy that someone would possibly come along and poach him.

Re: Loophole in Richo’s contract
the einsteins at the club who decided on the extension, only did it (I think) to stop media speculation, as the flogs in the media will alwaysdragit wrote: ↑Tue 14 Aug 2018 4:28pmYou are being generous… it's at least 2 seasons sacrificed.Teflon wrote: ↑Tue 14 Aug 2018 2:46pm Can not believe we have to sacrifice a season (that’s what next year will be) because that absolute twat Finnis and Board decided to play “corporate managers” and extend this muppets contract.

go with "coach under pressure" on a slow news day.
Club didn't want to give any ammo to Barrett or the Witch.
But I suppose by doing so, it gave them ammo to say "they aren't top 4, they're bottom 4, why extend Mr Fairy Dust? WTF?"

Re: Loophole in Richo’s contract
There is of course also the possibility that Richo himself will decide to resign.
The pressure he will be under at the start of 2019 to turn the team's fortunes around will be immense, and he doesn't strike me as the sort of bloke who will ignore the writing on the wall if there is no significant improvement in the first month.
I reckon in that case he will sit down with the club and work out an immediate exit strategy on terms where he will save face - in fact I imagine that such a deal may well be worked out between both parties at the end of this season to take the heat off him, and allowing a smooth transition to his successor.
It will be in the club's interest to avoid a difficult, dramatic, troublesome media spectacle which could have serious consequences for the psyche of the playing group.

Re: Loophole in Richo’s contract
Our only hope is a new president who sacks Finnis and then sacks Richo end of this year.

Re: Loophole in Richo’s contract
Well, I really hope this is true because Richo et al will turn the club into a total basket case if they continue in 2019.

Re: Loophole in Richo’s contract
I concur. He IS NOT guaranteed to coach next year.

Re: Loophole in Richo’s contract
You’re the most reliable ITK poster on here Jaxons, so hallelujah if this be true.....and that would surely mean a replacement being in place prior to the draft and trade period.....maybe just Kingsley or a promoted assistant...oh wait.....with intention to land someone significant in 2020. Almost anything would be better than the current farcical embarrassment.

Re: Loophole in Richo’s contract
Will this happen because of a change of Board?
There is now talk about Jim Watts or Andrew Bassett taking over the Presidency with some of the Board resigning. What do you think of Watts or Bassett?
I assume that whomever takes over is planning to move on Richo, perhaps Finnis as well. If so, who's out there as a potential Coach?
I would be nervous and worried if it were Kingsley or Harvey.
