. It would make us look amateurish for having taken him on in the first place as if we believed that there were no problems at all.
It would? Hasn't it already prior to this latest incident?
Unfortunately that word is already linked with our club these days.
In some ways I feel I am in a time machine & have gone back 2 years & wound up on the Carlton Board. Excuses, trivial matter, not as bad as the Saints, etc, & when the next episode occurs I have no doubt they will be rehashed again.
I thought after the Review the club had drawn a line in the sand, & amateur hour had ended. It seems many fans appear happy for the 'Status Quo' to continue. It's now time to abide by higher standards & a stand needs to be made.
I am sure the directors would prefer to concentrate on matters such as the new CEO (would anyone want it with Fev on the list?), signing keen players that fall out of contract, the jumper, sponsors, the GC threat, etc, instead another further distraction from the same source will take their eyes of the ball. Don't we already have enough issues?
Unfortunately it hasn't worked & at some stage you need to cut your losses. Will the Lions been seen as strong as Carlton finally were? or will they fall for the same trap/game the Blues played for too long?
PS. For Fevs own sanity, etc I believe he needs to be based in the same city as his kids.
