Message: [QUOTE="Huge, post: 2101017, member: 1992"] Neither Crowe or Holmes of Opulence know enough on their own to run the club but have the cash and some positive attributes. The old school guys know and have waited in the wings for the almost inevitable ( Souths COULD have won lots of games ) crash or rough trot. When the shit hit the fan it become an embarassment to the good business name of Holmes, he was smelling a little of failure in a business sense.It would'nt reflect well on him and I'd wager he'd already been told so by his associates. I'd also say he's realized that Crowe is merely an actor and no smart cookie like Holmes himself and the celebrity glow has probably long worn-off, after all EVERYONE at Souths has 'spent time with,'had the ear of',Rusty. That is not a consideration for Crowe. He needs Holmes not one bit. For him it was never charity work, it was borne of the passion a fan has married to the chance to actually do something ,something other than offer encouragement. If they are able to survive another two seasons they may revive but Souths must follow a successful model meaning consistent cash flow and a profit however small.Optimally,Crowe should remain and be employed in an ambassadorial role, a sort of fan and sponsor combination. Look good on TV but having no imput to the running of the club and by extension never making comment about the players or coach. He needs to play a part in the media, the eternal optimist.Good vibe type of thing,nothing negative.In essence,acting...something he knows a little about. The quotes the media need would have to come from the usual NRL clubs sources because they'd quickly tire of Crowes optimism and would seek sensation elsewhere. With Richardson and Lang there they will become a more centred group and will support JT if Crowe can be convinced to take a backseat. Lang is probably a better mentor/coach of league now than at anytime in his past. He's had some time to see the game through our eyes, what we see on TV rather than being totally immersed in the coaches role. Truly disinterested but very interested in the game frees him up to notice other things, things lost when deeply involved in coaching. In short this is Souths last chance to become a modern 21st Century club. Fully professional with the chook raffle way of life gone. [/QUOTE]
