Shame about Alan Thompson as he is highly regarded in the Welfare space. Hoping this area of the football club does not go backwards as its presence cannot be underestimated.
I would assume the gear steward is Vincent Marando who has been around for ages. If so, are they bringing in Bryce Gibbs for that role 🙂

Replying to Chipoff the old block as the forum replies suck.

Unsure why Alan Thompson was let go. But Honestly, we haven't done well last year in this space at all.

Yes Welfare matter and MINDSET matters.
So many games I have seen us fold. Contrast that with the dogs, yes they came 15th or something but most games they fought (at least in 2022 when I saw a few games).

A huge part of us getting the spoon is mindset. 16th, 15th and 14th IMHO was for our taking this year and we did not take it.
Welfare and Mindset are important spaces. Honestly happy for a cleanout and Souths does welfare well.

IMO its highlights so much how bad our administration was and really it was a relatively easy fix. Sack the board get someone in who knows what the hell he's doing. Didnt have to be Richo could have been anyone who has half an idea, its really quite frustrating because this all could have been fixed years ago.

With respect, all Richo’s done is sack a heap of people so far. I know you can draw a parallel between Richo’s appointment and Luai’s signing but in truth it may well have happened anyway. I’m a fan of Richo and am really glad he’s been put in the role but I’ll reserve judgement on his success or otherwise until after half a season or so at least.
Hopefully he extends the 6 months so we can get a better picture on how he impacts the club.

Richo brought instant credibility in one press conference then closed a deal with a triple premiership winning playmaker.

His predecessor did FA.

Richo said it’s not about what he says but what he does.
What he’s done is sack a few people with the outcome still to be seen. Anyone can sack people, doesn’t make them the messiah. Like I said in my original post, I’m glad he’s hear and he’s done it all before so I’m confident he can make positive changes but 6 months ain’t going to be enough and I think there’s plenty of water to go under the bridge before we really judge him but that’s just my opinion.

I agree we need him here long term. I think he’s already changed the perception of the club, which is much more than just removing dead wood.

Yep totally agree on that. Seems like the Tigers have a bit more credibility since the changes and appointments.
As you say though, it’s only perception and that doesn’t mean much in reality hence my comments. That said, I’d rather this perception over the previous version.

Perception is reality and credibility is huge in recruiting good players. We were a known dumping ground for cast-offs before. e.g. Luai picking us over the Bulldogs, an outcome that happened in reverse plenty of times under the previous management. Leaving us with a last-placed roster. We’re not there yet but you can see the upward trend in a matter of weeks.

My comment wasn’t directed at Richo in its entirety it was actually about the HBG. But in essence I agree he has sacked a load of people, people which obviously needed the bullet a while ago. It is a wait and see how this all plays out as you say he could up and leave in 6 months and we’d likely fall back into the fatal position. But I must say I’m looking ahead with much more optimism than I was a month ago.
 
I think that the brief for Richo is to clear the decks, and establish a new( and hopefully successful) organisational set up that can be continued by subsequent appointees.
I can see that possibly happening by mid year but he may stay on till season end then you may find perhaps one Mr R. Farah stepping into the role and making sure the model is adhered to. Hopefully he can do that !
Just my thoughts….
PS Barry hasn’t been sighted, or heard from as yet, so think he’s just overseeing from above, and will leave on or about when Richo does.

I kinda think it's the opposite here.

He cleared out Fulton quickly, but not instantly.
There was that tiny bit of research/investigation and for whatever reason he went S. Fulton isn't good enough. Most likely because he leaked his head off.


So suspecting judgement over "hack n slash" but could be either. Heck it could be "I know dead wood that want's a job", lets hope not. Well lets see in 6 months how the club is.

I was referring to Sid Vicious but I also call Tiger One “ John Blackman” coz he’s so quick to put up a photo or a caption relating to certain posts. I thought he might have been able to put something up about Sid and the Sex Pistols !
Hope that makes sense ink !

I suspect Richo has done virtually nothing so far. Those who were sacked took no part in the review, and therefore their future was determined before the review started.
what sort of organisation would preclude the chair and CEO from an external review? 😂

I was also referring to systems as well as HR. As he mentioned in his presser he said (rightly so) he has a good feel for how a successful club should be set up and operate, and that’s what he’s here for.
Only time will tell what the outcome will be but I feel he’s in to do a consultancy, get things organised and then he will move on. I can’t see it being a long term appointment.

Champion @Halbrowne61 - sadly I was so slow off the mark with this one, the photo I have of Sid (and Nancy) has turned black & white. And really sad is his story, wasted in every way!

Sid was a pure myth. He didn’t play the bass on their record. Haven’t looked too deep into why he was even in the band, but he could barely play. Must have been PR.
