glad we have spoken to shaw, he would be a coup and is in my opinion the second best football operations manager after balme.

we made the finals three years running and were the best victorian club. this is what i meant by stronger ... but i'm only going on football results, an unfashionable idea though that might be.

as i said, let's hope the new administration can lift us back to where we belong and onwards to a premiership

Amazing what a premiership will do to someones rating..... Wasn't he sacked from Collingwood a year ago?

he might have given this undertaking to certain insecure people around the club but it is interesting that he hasn't uttered those words publicly

Trust me, whilst the Westaway board is in place, Thomas won't be employed by the club.

Thank god for that. Imagine if we had GT back at the club and involved in list management

Oh When the Saints · Sun 14 Oct 2007 9:23pm

It's not Westaway who has said that.

Someone else on the board would not have Thomas back at the club, and neither would several players.

so westaway ... the new president ... hasn't ruled it out, then

Oh When the Saints · Sun 14 Oct 2007 9:26pm

It would fracture his board and see him lose his position, so in effect he has ruled it out.

bigcarl · Post: # 476178Post **bigcarl** » Sun 14 Oct 2007 9:28pm

so who on the board wouldn't have gt back?

name names.

Thomas is too divisive and alienates as many people as he endears himself to.

You can't have someone around like that if you want a united football club.

same could be said of any leader in any organisation i guess. no-one has 100 per cent backing from everyone ... just isn't human nature.

It is fact that no leader has everyone's backing.

However, that is no mandate to alienate and divide.

This discussion is pointless anyway. Clearly you have your own opinion and I have mine, so let's move on ...... PM me if you want to take it further.

2 words- Neil Daniher

We have got rid of the cancer of RB and GT and now some people want to bring back all that divisiveness

Fair Dinkum Thomas went years ago and people still carry a candle for the bloke

FGS get over it.

My candle burned out long before his legend ever did.

It appears to be one of either: R.Shaw, N.Daniher or D.Frawley - which iis a prtetty good group to pick from. My preference - Robert Shaw.

Certainly wouldnt mind The Reverend Daniher in a role at the club. Football Operations might actually suit him...

exactly....that's all that needs to be said....end of story/chapter

How about drawing up a list of required capabilities...?????

One characteristic has to be strong people skills and the ability to get people to work together.....which is why I smile about the suggestion to appoint GT in the role.... a person who has a track record of divsion in organsitaion after organsiation.

GT polarises people...and such a personality type is not the type you want in this position.

We also want best of breed...and someone not learning as he goes.......so from this and other factors Shaw would appear to be the best person that we could get.
