To the members and supporters of the Emirates Western Force
To the members and supporters of the Emirates Western Force,
RugbyWA has always been an organisation that has prided itself on providing a strong and clear line of communication with its members and fans.
The decision not to provide details of the coaching process has been a deliberate one as a means of respecting the privacy of the candidates involved.
...
While our intentions are honourable, we appreciate that this has, in turn, caused significant angst and frustration for the Sea of Blue.
The exercise to appoint a Head Coach for the Emirates Western Force has been intensive and one we had hoped would be resolved by this time. However, through reasons beyond our control, the process is continuing and will continue until we have appointed the right person for this role.
The appointment of the next Emirates Western Force Head Coach is vital, not only for the ongoing strength of organisation, but as a means of providing our loyal members and supporters with the success you deserve after seven years of unrelenting support.
While this process of appointing a coach has caused frustration within the organisation, we understand that our members and fans have felt this frustration ten-fold at having to rely on media reporting of the issue.
We are aware of the extensive media speculation regarding this appointment. However, we have made a considered move not to comment on this speculation, as a means of not adding further fuel to speculation and, as stated, protecting the confidentiality of the process.
While we apologise for the frustration this lengthy process has caused, we stress that as soon as the correct candidate has been appointed, we will make this known to our members and supporters.
The club’s preparations towards the 2013 FxPro Super Rugby campaign continue unabated. We are undergoing a number of changes internally, including the restructure of our rugby department and the appointment of a new recruitment role, as a means of attracting and retaining players moving forward.
We remain a proud club and one intent on success. We thank you for your continued interest and feedback in these matters and look forward to being able to bring you further news regarding the future direction of the Emirates Western Force in the near future.
