What are people's thoughts on the following ?

Given the clear lack of faith that Richmond fans have shown in Frawley and the playing list this year by not taking up memberships in their droves, then if we miss the finals again, (which most reasonable people would have to admit is at least a 50-50 chance now), what result can we expect from the membership next year if we retain Frawley and do not shake up our playing list BIG TIME ? It could be horrendous i.e. 15,000 - 20,000 members tops…..

Consider this in conjunction with the fact that Clinton Nut Casey has already downgraded our financial result by as much as $500,000 for this year, and the ramifications for us financially could be enough for the club to give Frawley the flick with one year remaining on his contract.- irrespective of our history of sacking coaches etc. etc.

What do people think ?
 
We will have the worst membership figures ever if we retain Frawely and there wasn't a big clean out of players and a serious injection of youth. Friends of mine (tiger fans) say the reason they don't sign up is because they don't go every week because they don't want to watch boring football played by a bunch of duds. Boring football is the vital aspect as people want to be entertained.
