Vern Reid Resignation Petition

[AndyS]

FFS, you are probably going to get your wish. And with the NSWRU chairman just having jacked his job in, just who do you think would be replacing Vern then????

Hi guys & gals! New member, first post and all that jazz....

I've recently learned that Twiggy Forrest played rugby for Cottesloe. Sounds like a perfect candidate for RWA Chairman.

Does anyone else know of any other high powered corporate people with a WA Rugby background?

Twiggy could just buy the club.

I don't believe that Vern Reid has necessarily done the best thing by the club, but how would him handing in his resignation help anything? How about he takes responsibility and does something about it instead. Surely that would be the best rather than losing another person, who's possibly being replaced with someone who is no better.

How would it help? For starters, it would show that the organization is serious about cleaning out the dead wood and turning this thing around. Secondly, it would stop the rot. Every major personnel opportunity has been f#$%$d up, or at the very kindest, poorly-managed. That starts from the top. Every potential signing has watched this fiasco unfold, and no quality player is going to stake his future on the decisions of Vern Reid. You'll only see the desperate heading West.

Lastly, what in the world would give you any indication that all of a sudden 'ol Vern is going to start pulling Aces out of his sleeve? That's right, there is none. We'll continue to see weak half-measures (Foley, Sam Norton-Knight, etc.) in place of real solutions or marquee players.

I'm sorry - he may be a good guy, he may actually be a good manager, but there are no results to show for it, and someone needs to fall on their sword and step aside for a new approach.

someone needs to fall on their sword and step aside for a new approach.

it is the way of leadership. It might not be his fault, but he's the CEO it is definitely his responsibility!

Any other move is simply ass-covering.

The club have waived from them, "Our Vision" and "Excellence" for example. If Reid can't hold RugbyWA to its own Purpose, Vision and Values, then he should resign and a CEO who will guide the club back to them should be employed.

Just my 2c worth.

Good post Fullback :-) For me, it also goes to show what a heap of meaningless rubbish all that rah, rah, rah 'management-consultant-speak' can be!!

Outstanding.

I would call it a fail at every hurdle

Every value, performance indicator, and representation has been a massive stinker

Off with his head

Off with his head

I wondered where Lewis Carol got his inspiration. Now we know, it was our very own Rex

[UNCLE BOOG]

Wobber for CEO:
Past-
Commissioner at Toursim Western Australia

thats a tick in the right box!

[Burgs]

Ok, we have a Coach or two and a Captain.
Can we piss him off now please?

[Blackswan]

ok it took a bit longer than I had hoped but I now have the car bumber stickers with our terms of endearment regarding Vern Reid.

Simple message "Vern Reid must resign".

I will leave a few at JB's but if anyone else wants one then PM me your name and address and I'll post one to you. All I ask is that if you take one please put it on your vehicle.

I'll scan and place an image here when I have a chance.

I can always order some more to meet demand .....
