    Vern Reid quits Western Force



    WESTERN Force chief executive Vern Reid has quit his job at the Super Rugby outfit.
    Reid joins a long list of people to leave the club in recent months as it strives to rebuild following a tumultous season which saw Richard Graham removed as coach, following revelations he had signed to coach Queensland next season.

    The club was unsuccessful in retaining Wallaby flanker David Pocock for next season, while veteran Test second-rower Nathan Sharpe retired from Super Rugby.

    The decision of Reid, a former basketball and Australian football administrator, signifies a change in direction for the club.

    Former NSW Waratahs coach Michael Foley has been installed as head coach among a host of personnel changes.

    He does not fit the criteria, he would have the intrests of WA at heart, not the type of person they want at St Leonards HQ

    This peeves me when we have celebrations on the resignation of our CEO. Whilst he may not have pleased everybody all of the time and maybe not governed as many of you would have liked. No one can deny that this guy put his heart and soul into this job and whilst I have had a few raised eyebrows on some decisions made, never could anyone question his dedication to the game and the dedication to community rugby. Vern, good luck wherever you go and thanks for the time in a thankless job at the head of our club.
