Effect of a new board on the playing group

[Brewer]

I know, I know, another thread - but I think this is worth a bit of hypothetical debate on its own.

Let's say we've got 2 possible outcomes - either the new ticket gets up or it doesn't.

How do these outcomes affect the players?

Personally I think that a new, football-focussed management would be a major boost to the guys. Rossy would have had a full pre-season, hopefully the AIS guys will have been able to improve our fitness and injury-resistance. Add to that a few past legends, some elite sports experience a la Klim, a bit of increased spending and professionalism in the footy department and I think we'd see a massively revitalised playing group next year.

If the new ticket fails, on the other hand, footy dept spending would probably be increased due to the scare, but there would still be dissent in the ranks. Butterss would still be Butterss, the confidence of the playing group wouldn't necessarily go up. Would Butterss' mob necessarily be better at spending on footy than the SKFF?

Do any of the playing group have a real allegiance to Butterss or his board? Where is morale currently in the group? It's felt low all year. Would it improve under a successful Butterss?

not much hypothetical there

one party- football focussed blah blah

the other - continued dissent blah blah

think its a statement

Well it's a statement of how I see it, yes. But I'd be interested to hear from anyone that sees it differently. Or are we to assume that even the pro-Butterss posters all agree that the players would prefer the challengers?

I certainly don't know how the players feel about the current admin, maybe Riewoldt has fallen in love with Butterss now and would assume the foetal position with thumb in mouth if Butterss was to go?

Would Harvey be more or less inclined to stay on under Burkey and the new group?

I was hoping others might have an insight to the feeling among the players and how productive or harmful the two outcomes might be

(By the way, my 'statement' contained several questions. If you saw them as rhetorical that was your choice, they weren't intended that way).
