CEO - Shane Richardson

[Mighty_Tiger]

Man I love Richo.

Even in hospital he is relentless in pursuit of success.

So glad we have him at our club.

Our last CEO would take holidays and expect everything to stop around him.

What a change it is to have someone really respect his responsibility at the top.

Culture change happening is brilliant.

get to know Richo…20 questions.

Quadruple bypass surgery is going on at WT right now for sure...place has lacked heart and ticker for 10 years

HAHAHA comment of the day surely…

 

[Tom Shines]

Has Richo’s toe grown back yet?

They're just getting it out off Nofo's arse.

 

[Feline Carrier]

Richo has done everything right since starting. Just hope the football department follows through. Everything Shane has done is for nowt if the team don't capitalise on it.

 

[rex2ce]

Seriously hope Richo is doing well and out of hospital asap

I'd like to see more on the hiring front. So far it's been mostly firing!

He doesn’t do things by committee. When he ran a QLD club he boasted that he put himself on the 3 man selection committee and told the third bloke he would be backing the coach every time. I get the feeling he has identified a lot of unnecessary processes happening at WT and he’s on a mission to simplify and if it’s not helping us win, see ya.

Sometimes you have to clean the shelves so you can put new stuff on them.

Richo thanked me for email and said he would consider my suggestions such as Ronnie to come back for dna purposes.

I told him that Rome wasn’t built in a day, so he “should prolong the emergency measures for at least a year.”

Richo is very expensive, but worth it to us as a drowning club. It is easy to justify at present.

He’s very keen on members not just fans as a large membership base will justify a lot of the changes.

Apart from the obvious, I don’t know the case for sacking a few of the lessor lights, but it’s not really our decision.

When the new board is up and running, us members need a lot of power.

We’ve got to consider how the last group of knuckleheads took power and do everything to prevent the snouts reaching the trough again.

 

[hammertime]

I hear you guys. But he's gotten a lot of credit at the moment for just firing people. In terms of players, Luai and Olam were both pretty much over the line earlier. Even the prior management had started moving on noffa.

Don't get me wrong. I like what he's done. I'm just saying lets not go singing his praises so soon.

Just a request Karen, please stop emailing the poor bloke! He's getting toes lopped off... he should be resting and using the rest of his energy to make decisions.

Prior management talked a big game about a lot of stuff. Richo just quietly makes things happen without a song and dance. The worst thing he could do is leave too soon.

Or it’s all just unnecessary clutter that you never actually needed.

Absolutely, quite often the case.

It was one email welcoming him to hell and a thank you type after he responded.

I have to be polite and civilised and show him he’s not dealing with toothless, deranged and muddled headed souths and panthers folk anymore.

He’s at a real club now with the best fans and members in the game,

 

[Tiger Karen]

Absolutely, quite often the case.

There’s still the gear steward mystery. Surely you can’t stuff up carrying a couple of footys and a few traffic cones.

Then again, he probably kept dropping stuff everywhere. Coached by Tim obviously.

Still as I mentioned earlier today, I insisted to Richo that Ronnie be welcomed back into the fold. I said it was for “dna reasons”

Maybe they rolled up his duties into the coaches / assistant coaches. Decided to spend those extra thousands on newer GPS technology to get the players fitter. Just speculation but you gotta find the competitive advantage wherever you can.

That is ken brilliant.

You must be a member of Mensa or something.

Maybe the gear steward has a meeting with comrade Clint. If all gear stewards go out in sympathy, the players will have to carry their own stuff. They’ll be none of that from our ugly lot. Far too cool and important to carry anything.
Not in their contract I’m afraid.
