SOUND FAMILIAR?
PLAYERS are watching with interest to see how the Michael Foley situation is handled in Perth now that the ARU has formed an alliance with the Western Force.
Foley has a poor coaching record, and the Force are struggling for marketability, crowds, and recruiting power, while some established players in Perth are looking to move.
But Foley is demanding a full payout for the final year of his contract if sacked at the end of this season, and the powers that be are now wondering if they can afford it.
This whole saga seems familiar.
When the Reds were under the pump in 2015, they decided to stick with coach Richard Graham. They lost crowds and revenue, eventually were forced to sack Graham anyway, and have now had to make several staff members redundant because of tight purse strings as a result of fans turning off them.
