That's right Teflon, it was the catalyst, the spotlight if you like that all was not right at the club from the Board down to getting the players out on the track. Personally I am happy that it was highlighted and there have been changes.Teflon wrote:
Who was talking poor funding of the football dept BEFORE Westonhouse came along with Burkie? honestly who was talking Board challenges (seriously and no Bedlams drivel doesnt constitute a seruious challenge) BEFORE Butters and Thomas had their stoush in the media?
Yeah talk vibes, sponsors getting off, football spending blah blah blah - THE CATALYST for the sacking of Butters and the Board was undoubtedly the ongoing media feud with Grant Thomas.
To suggest otherwise is folly - as I said HAD Butters said nothing I doubt many members wouldve bought the "theres to many leaks and to much being said outta Moorabbin" party line.
I'm going to contradict myself a little here but I believe St Kilda should be grateful for the Butterss/Thomas era and it was their initial vision that has got us to where we are but I still cannot help but believe it was fractured or tainted following the Blight sacking. It was there they compromised themselves for the first time.
