chooka Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) chooka, what's your take on this one? http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-11-13/saints-coy-on-richardson Watch this space for the media report on Monday. Chocco Williams was asking for 5 yr contract at 700K per year, saints couldn't do it. Reports are Richardson has a 3 yr contract at 450K per yr Then you have Robert Harvey who loves the club with a passion and would do it for a meat pie and a can of coke at half time.

When I said that watters was about to be sacked 2 or 3 days prior to the event some well Alex RRR said it won't happen and my man on the inside (nephew) didn't know <deleted>. Now this ummm I take him as a reliable source. They can't make the official media release until he has gone back to Adelaide and formerly resigned from Port.

Certainly he will be happy and productive if he is made to see out his contract I can see Kochies point, pre season training has commenced and it would be a disruption to Port. Richardson is not an assistant coach simply getting a promotion to head coach but he is the director of coaching and would be heavily involved in building the team and sifting through draft prospects given the draft is next Thursday. If Port clear him then they themselves would only have a week to advertise for and select a new director before the draft. The saints also need him at the club now with the draft in 6 days. I would hate to see this go before the courts which is not going to benefit either Port or the Saints. No team is going to let coaching staff go at this time of the year. The saints should have sacked Watters a month earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will27 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 chooka, what's your take on this one? http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-11-13/saints-coy-on-richardson Watch this space for the media report on Monday. Chocco Williams was asking for 5 yr contract at 700K per year, saints couldn't do it. Reports are Richardson has a 3 yr contract at 450K per yr Then you have Robert Harvey who loves the club with a passion and would do it for a meat pie and a can of coke at half time. Sounds to me like chocco didn't really want to do the job, asking for those terms. I reckon the only coaches at the moment who could ask and probably get 5 years would be, Clarkson, Lyon and Roo's. Chooka, sounds like Harvey reckons he wasn't quite ready. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-11-13/head-over-heart-for-harvey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints Press Conference set for 5 p.m AEDST today. Saints expected to formerly announce Richardson as new head coach. Port Adelaide have made a press release stating that Richardson will no longer be continuing in his role at the club and they wish him all the best in his new role. The saints will split the costs with port in their pursuit of a new director of coaching. Edited November 14, 2013 by chooka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
