Our board is a pathetic, sniveling, spineless organization

She's now got a new bloke, he has a bigger more expensive car and will probably be more successful than you ever will be.
Only yesterday she said she would never leave but she has. Your relationship was built on a falsehood. You had tried to satisfy her but were afraid of commitment. She wanted too much and you were not sure...and for good reason...but for this she has gone.
She will never look back, just ask her...but in her heart a little piece will remain..wondering about what was lost...and the rest is up to you.

Yeah but what will you call the bitch when you have had a few at the pub with your mates?

When you have your main man headhunted and he doesnt even bring you the offer to counter then what can be done??
Lyon wanted out and there was nothing they could do!

What exactly would that achieve?

He wanted out, best to get him out and start the new era tout suite. Look at Pies; they didn't even wait for another final to let Mark Neeld go.

Only dedicated personnel required thanks.

Think St Kilda FC's reaction to this has been outstanding frankly. Hope they get the right man in.

They manage to insert get out clauses, refuse to sign a four year deal in April, appoint Pelchen to usurp Lyon's authority and then only up their offer to four years last Wednesday, the very same offer they refused to sign in April when they realised he might leave and then lose the coach respected in the industry as one of the very best.

OUTSTANDING

They should have over turned tables at the presser and told the world what a s*** c%$# Lyon was, that would have at least shown our sponsors that we have passion.

Our last coach was sacked after finishing 6th.

Ross had just finished 7th, and had not recieved a contract renewal, and our club has a history of sacking coaches...

I've heard that Ross lost alot of money during the 09 GFC, he recieved an offer for a truck load of money...

It is possible Ross thought he was next.

Does our board instill confidence in anybody??

How do we still lose 1.5Mill after the 8 years straight (bar one) of finals appearances.

Not looking for a Major spill, but gotta say, some guys are not pulling their weight.

Would've shown the sponsors something!
