Yes!

He's managed to piss off a majority of supporters!

New coach, new off-field setup, Seaford (well not quite), new major sponsor . . . I'm sure there's others.

Archie is an employee of the Board.

He works to his job description as specified by the Board, and amended from time to time by the Board.

Don't shoot the messenger guys.

I don't understand why everyone's attacking Archie, yes he runs the club on a day to day basis but the board make the final decisions, based on all the information provided to them.

To me it seems that he is running the club in a professional way, but the direction of the club is decided by the board

Sorry, I should have clarified -

Can anyone name one good thing that Archie Fraser has delivered during his tenure at the club?

I see we're back to normal again -
sack the Coach
sack the Board
sack the Sponsor
sack the off-field set-up
sack Seaford

Obviously none of them are good decisions. :roll:

Why do you want to sack all of them?

Why did we have to wait about 10 weeks for them to make a decision on Cousins? Why was he overseas when the coach and footy dept were wastig their time travelling the country to talk to Cousins? Very inefficient and a waste of time. Big deal - he has set up a move to Seaford.

:lol:

I'm not a fan of AF but I don't think he deserves to take the rap here.

That is of course, unless he had a major say in the decision.

ok. so back to the original question. im still waiting on a good thing he has done.

the only good thing so far seems to be getting a major sponsor and given we dont know the $$ terms - im not sure if this is a good thing or not?

and im still awaiting his CV.

It's much better when you revert to your twisting, turning normal 'master debating' form roger.

You know when you try and make the thread all about you.

Hopefully you'll follow your normal method and slink away again so that this particular baiting thread will die a natural death.

I think the reverse maybe true.

Depends on who you're listening too I guess.

Everyone claims responsibility for the good and distances themselves from the bad.

Well you will insist on starting disruptive threads, don't you... Sgt Schulz.

Why raise it now? You are a troubled sh1t stirrer son. Fess up, or move on.

Oh, I just remembered... he helped get rid of GT. That gives him a heap of brownie points IMO.

Af is there to action and implement the wishes of the board. Until now, the board has not seen fit to sack him.

Got an issue? Don't shoot the mesenger.

Disruptive?? To who?

I assume that those reading this forum aren't disrupted at all. You can see who created a thread, and there's a even a title there for all to see which tells everyone what it is about!

You don't have to read them. And you certainly don't have to respond.


Who am I supposedly disrupting??

Archie runs the organisation administratively. He only delivers what the board decides. The real question should be what has the BOARD delivered during Archies tenure!
