And remember the reason he walked was because HBG sacked the independent board so if he was still here it would mean the board would still be in place. At the time there was talk about Luai removing his contract clauses and Samuela Finau extending. Neither of which happened after the board and stability both left the building!

Also, he'd still be ruling with an iron fist, and I imagine the AD situation also likely plays out a lot differently.

Call him a dinosaur or whatever you want but look at how things are now with a young and inexperienced crew running the club! There is no mature experience to call the shots except for the cronies at HBG and the only thing they're good at is drip-feeding Wests Tigers into a state of malnutrition, and cheering on the Magpies behind their walls of privacy.

Spot on Barra 👍

He’s a relic for sure, but one who understands how a footy club should operate 

And, as a relic, that understanding would also be a relic. WT don't need a "should" leader, they need a "can" leader. Richardson is like Sheens; way past their use-by date. The club is better off with both of them gone.

Having said that, the newly-appointed CEO is hardly inspiring much confidence in me. I'd dare say that I have as much confidence in him as CEO as PNG has in making Luai their marquee signing. 

He had us going in the right direction, but the owners shot him before the job was finished.

He was brought back from the wilderness to do the WT job and has stayed in the wilderness since he resigned.

That's where he belongs; in the wilderness. He's a relic of the past.

Ex-Tigers CEO tipped to make shock return with struggling NRL club

Google Shane Richardson and you’ll see it.

I doubt he’d come back here, unfortunately.
