Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3675312, member: 9052"] One of the first things Madge will need to do... other than addressing the playing group and selling them on his vision... is to break bread with the old boys. For him to be fully accepted he will need to be able to show that he's fully invested in the Broncos culture... it's what he did with NSW and NZ, it's what he did at Souths... I'm assuming he did it at tigers as well, but it mustn't have stuck and he also had to deal with the introduction of Vlando ball. I have no doubt that Madge will throw himself fully into the club and take on all of our history, but it would be near impossible to sell that to the outside world if the old boys are off you and don't want to be involved at the club. Seibold actively went against wanting the old boys at the club and it backfired spectacularly... I think Madge will genuinely want the old boys to be involved... it's basically his modus operandi at this point... so convincing them to be involved after all that's happened won't be easy. Gordie has already given a "lose my number", Webke has objected to a NSW'men coaching broncos, Alfie is thinking about his future with the club, etc. It's like being nominated for a political party and no one from the party endorsing you... he will need their backing. I think the club's attempt at assisting Madge with this was by making Kevvie an ambassador of the club, which is a good idea. However almost as soon as that press conference finishes we get leaks that Kevvie blew up deluxe following the review, etc. You already sacked the bloke and then you put out a hit piece regarding his behaviour... it's kicking someone when they're down... especially when he's helping you out by saying he's remaining an ambassador. Whoever leaked that needs to be hunted down and kicked out of the club. That kind of attitude and behaviour is hugely disruptive to whatever the club is trying to do to move past all this. [/QUOTE]
