Does change scare you?
Let me answer that rhetorical question with one of my own. Do you think third rate hacks like Reason and Telfer would be having a field day at the Nix's expense if Ricki had seen out the season? And - for the hard of reading comprehension - I wasn't a Ricki supporter, not after the WSW game. I just suggested that he wasn't the reason that we were sucking dead puppies through a straw, or at least not the only reason. And I think - despite the people who continue to blame Ricki after he's gone - I've been shown to be right.
Another point no-one's mentioned. Ricki took over the Knights with 5 matches to go. He leaves the Nix with 5 matches to go. Damn, that's eerie.
Oh, and just one more. Morrissey-with-a-cat-on-his-head thinks I've gone to la-la land because I think that the SACK RICKI crowd here actually played a part in getting their wish. I bring to your attention: 1) if Ricki *did* quit, it was surely due to pressure from media, owners, AND fans; 2) some posters here - inc. JD, if I remember right - were fond of saying that only fan pressure on these forums could convince the owners to make a change in ownership. So you really think that what you say here is of no real-world consequence? If so, why do you bother saying it?
Reason and Telfar would kick a dead puppy for cryin out loud so you really have no point in that respect. Telfer is comparing the Phoenix to the Kingz and Knights so shows his reality. You really chose poor people to defend yourself with.
Steve-O thinks you've gone to la-la land cause your were calling for Sack Welnix. I tend to agree with him.
It does not take an Einstein to figure out the problem alone was not just Ricki. Change was needed purely for the sake of it. He was the person charged with fixing it so as a consequence, he was probably going to get the ass at the review anyway because the problem became so great that he was not the one to fix it and probably became part of it. You do not need foresight to pick that so I hardly call what you are saying all 'oracle' like and that you have been shown to be right.
You've been a Ricki supporter until about 3-4 weeks ago. What changed, figured out that it was time???? Wow.... Just like the rest of us.
Do you really think that Rob and co went 'well fuck me, JD, Steve-O and a couple of other lads want him gone, thats good enough for us.' The reality was, it was obvious to everyone that there needed to be a change - you changed your tune because..... it was obvious.. It would have come at the end of the season, instead Ricki was probably smart enough to see the writing on the wall and chose to leave. His call pure and simple.
And lastly, If JD says that Big Ben is going to fall over if he says it often enough, do you think it will happen? If you think the board of the Phoenix read this forum and are influenced by it, then we have far bigger problems than what is going on with the coach and team and we will be well fucked very soon.
I agree with Steve-O. Build a bridge Doloras and seriously get over it.
