CEO - Shane Richardson

[TSP]

Not gonna undo 15+ years of garbage in 1 season.

Don't quit on Richo and Benji just yet.

Certainly not enough time for Richo, while Benji and the footy staff remain of some concern.

Unsurprisingly, Lee remained supportive of Benjis continued tenure as coach following his own be heading.

Richo was openly very supportive of Benji, despite the compromised aspect of his anointment, but I wonder what he’s really thinking now?

Benji is the most obvious connection to the recent past and the decline of the club over the last 4 years in particular.

Very enthusiastic about Tim’s recent contribution to the club, which suggested to me that he was way out of synch with fans and members.

And not too bright to publicise his eternal love for this epic failure of a second coming.

That confidence and self assurance led him into this nightmare!

I'd make a play at Demetriou, unfinished biz 🤝

demetriou seems like a good x's and o's coach but terrible man manager.
if we can't get Brad Arthur then demetriou for assistant with Morris hopefully

The question there is Demetriou's relationship with Morris, wonder how it ended last year the Rabbits???

Yes Steve Folks, Tim Sheens coach

Don’t think they’re on each others Xmas card list. Unlikely pairing imo.

 

[Red88_Tiger]

I remember in a podcast that he said I wouldn’t debut any promising player unless they had signed a contract with the club.
I assume Timmy J was signed to a train and trial deal prior to him playing
While being a bit of a fence sitter Kudos to richo for this one

 

[Tom Shines]

Slothfield column today says Richo back in hospital …👎

 

[TSP]

Richo not back to me yet.

Well I think he’s had more than enough time.

I can understand CEOs in the top 8 might not worry about their fans, but members backing up for a third spoon dragging their pets onto the titanic deserve a bit more.

It’s becoming a question now of teaching him the importance of backing up.

Otherwise anything he says about the importance and status of members is pretty much bullshit.

May as well not actually buy in.

Members first - get your news 1/1000th of a second before buzz and a drunken Kenty at Centrelink.

This is simply not good enough Richo and HB. I would expect to get shafted at the Panthers, but not the Wests Tigers.

Surely we are better than this?

That’s pretty self indulgent dont You think ? What did you ask that need a specific answer ie. a direct reply , that wasn’t covered in the BTR podcast ?

No it’s not self indulgent, it’s fact.

He’s either going to answer my email (or get his pa to answer it) or not.

2 memberships at stake.

It’s in his hands.

Other people might be fine being ignored, that’s ok.

But he said he was going to talk to members, he said we were important but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Everybody here who is a member, he has to find a minute or two for you too.

Anyway I can still be a fan but transition away from actual membership.

He has been in hospital, including over the recent weekend. SUPER IMPORTANT that he replies to your seemingly relentless emails though.

Absolutely critical to the running of the organisation. Must keep him up at night - how will we ever deal with 2 whole lost memberships?


Utterly absurd.

He had a fair while to reply not just the weekend.

Now you can use irony and be as critical as you want but it doesn’t change my view on how the club should be treating our members.

It’s helpful to meet peoples expectations.

If I’m not getting a response, it’s likely others aren’t either.

If the club holds out memberships are important, and members are willing to spend their time and resources to help it, it really should follow through.

 

[Pascoes_barber]

I'd rather he focused on running football operations.

You have said he has previously replied to you.

It is totally unreasonable to expect a direct line to the CEO on any given day. End of the day whether Richo replies to every one of your emails or none, it has no bearing on whether the club succeeds or not.

I would prefer him using the limited hours of the day working on things with a little more consequence.

As a member, I'd much prefer Richo to spend time on getting us out of the hole and not using it to respond to every tom, dick and harry that sends him an email. Wouldn't you?

Sorry TSP I think you are being over-sensitive here. I am a member and I wouldn't be upset if Richo didn't reply to me via email.

The club was a basket case when Richo inherited it.

Whilst I am sure he values you as a member, you have to understand there is limited time in a day and we are in the middle of the NRL season, have lost a few key players for next season, desperately trying to retain our juniors and sign new players and coaching staff for next year.

If I could have Richo out there rebuilding the club or replying to members emails, I choose rebuilding the club.

Personally, I'm glad Richo is focusing on the right areas. I am sure if he gets the time to respond he will.

And cancelling the membership, that's all you. Don't blame Richo for that. That's your decision.

 

[mtd#2]

I'd personally be locking Richo down for another 5 years, take him up to 2030.
