Bunch of *le, small-minded cretins.
It should have been handled internally. Once they found out some past players had issues, they should have asked Clarko and others to come in and have a sit down with the players/family and have a heartfelt chat about what their experiences were, how it was perceived from Clarko and the other admin's end. I think most of the issues would have been easily resolved with a conversation, the thing with Rioli is the odd one of the lot but it seems odd that Rioli and his family have a bigger issue with Kennett than they do with Clarkson. Rioli seemed to be quite close up until he retired.
Seeing how they acted together and comments he made about Clarkson seem totally out of character if what they claimed was true, you wouldn't be speaking glowing about someone who did something like that to you. Something weird went down and there should have been a thorough internal investigation. They should have gone with someone who wasn't biased though, it just set it up for failure/disaster from the word go.
