The question should be " How do we fix the mess we're in ? "….. I believe that the moves so far are positive , this is the result of some really terrible decisions by the previous administration , I was amazed when they gave Farah a 4 yr contract , among other bad moves , but there's no point in going over old ground , I support the current actions ,The way forward is not going to be all that pretty but , you have to break a few eggs to make an omelette , they could give "high rise Harry" a ring too , nothing to lose there .
You've basically covered off on my sentiments Vic.
The current situation is unpalatable, but respectable from my view as we have a board that is willing to make unpopular changes in order to change the poor direction this club has taken.
If you keep doing what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got.
It's a shame that Farah and the club will part ways like this, but it will do both parties the favour. We don't look any more likely getting to the finals next year with things as they are, and Farah will not get another premiership continuing with us as it is.
Sports is a unique business field as emotion is an inherent part of the make up. People belong to a team, it's sold to us that way. I would consider this forum like a huge dysfunctional family. Many people that are on here I've shared jokes with, laughed with, argued with, insulted and been insulted by, some I've even developed cherished friendships with, are a constant part of my life.
That said, like anything in life, sometimes things don't work out the way we'd planned and sometimes it really hurts. Your first love leaving you, the best mate you lose contact with, the family member that passes on well before they are meant to. Some of things are well within our control, some are not. None are never easy to deal with.
It hurts now, and understandably, but the move isn't totally senseless. I know that this club in the past has had form being recklessly stupid but with more credentials this time around I am certain they have the clubs, and our, best interests at heart. Corporate black marks are hard to shake off.
