But Farah supporters could blame their heroes absence for their team having less chance of winning and take their unhappiness out on the Club.

I'm sure some would. I can't see a massive change in membership numbers though. Or sponsorship for that matter.

That Tiger Torch guy/gal stated that Farah had the support of one TPA sponsor, presumably Sir Harry. It was Sir Harry who tried to negotiate a peaceful conclusion about a 10 months ago.
 
What really annoys me most about Farah is the fact that Knights would move on Potter to get him.

Potter is deserving of an employment, the fact that he would try and get someone sacked extinguishes any bit of sympathy i have for the bloke. He has gotten two coaches sacked and is about to get Potter sacked again. He is trying to get Taylor sacked.

He is a nuisance, Potter was a good coach and if we didn't have such a cruel injury run under the man we would have made the top 8\. Sheens made the top 8 in 2010 and 2011, he also won a premiership in 2005\. One win off the 8 in 2012.

I don't know whats with the bloke but getting people unemployed because he doesn't like them is disgusting.

PS. I'm a fence sitter in this situation, i have defended both parties.

Thats a big presumption. You could be right.

This is a pretty sad situation isn't it. I don't believe Robbie is that bad but anyone who is deserves the same thing to happen to them.

I'm assuming though that the person copping it is earning < $100k per year.

Well the players are showing no signs of bad will. They havnt missed a beat.
And this will be our first home game since the boning. The size of the crowd will reflect if the fans have been turned off or not.

The size of the crowd will show support for our club in charging for the top 8 to suggest anything else is pushing an agenda.

Thats my point. Farahs axing hasn't turned supporters off the club as some are suggesting.

Of course it hasn't. It's the same as players being impacted by it. The fans may be upset by it. The players mightn't like it. The players and fans though will continue to support the Tigers.

It's like when a big CEO leaves a company. It makes no difference.

You should have a look at some of the facebook posts over the last 3 weeks with some "supporters" attention seeking posts of "I've been a supporter for blah blah blah and now I'm leaving posts"….......whether they actually follow through with that who knows, but certainly there are some "supporters" saying they are leaving. Some posters saying they weren't going to attend the games etc as well.

Even now, after yesterday's great win, there are still people whinging about Robbie.

Keep selecting him in reserve grade and back jt as coach in 2017\. His ego is too big to handle this and he will find his way out.

It will be all over soon. This is about saying to Robbie, nothing's changed. We need relief from your salary in 2017 to move the club forward, hurry up and get a deal done so we can both move on.

The deal is pay him his money, as they Contracted to do, and there's no problem
The longer this goes, it just shows how far the club will go , to try to get out of paying , when they want to break a contract

They are not trying to get out his contract. Just like every other club does they are trying to get relief from his salary by moving him to another club. What part of that don't you understand?
 
This is getting boring. We probably pull off the win of the season without Brooks and we are back to the Farah subject. Most agree he has been treated poorly whilst everyone should accept the coaches decision to pick teams he believes will win games. We have won 3 in a row without Farah and he won't be back this year unless we are out of contention.
