hopefully once the board gets a few more football types involved Ricki won't have it all his own way
 
 
 
I would not expect much to change until the off season. A new CEO will be appointed who will hopefully bring a new perspective and take some of the load off Rickie.
 
I kind of agree with you but I also have huge respect for how far he has managed to get the Nix this season. Sure, he is in a powerful position, but he has inherited a mess and done a great job getting through it. He is a capable guy but he has way too much on his plate IMO....he is basically the only "football guy" at the Club. It is hard enough to be head coach but he is doing it solo. Plus he is taking on all the AW and Olympic stuff. Its crazy for one guy to do all that and its impossible for one person to do all these jobs properly.( he should have said no to the Olympic gig)
 
So I for one will cut him some slack for being a bit one eyed toward some of his players. He does lack perspective when it comes to recruitment and selections but he's the boss and its his call.
 
My greatest concern for the club is this off season is absolutely vital for our future. We have to make some very important appointments off field. We also need to do some smart recruiting to refresh an aging squad. For me its absolutely critical that Rickie gives these jobs his  100% attention. Its hard to imagine this happing with all these other distractions going on.
