I don't really want to say anything about our meeting other than it was emotional. |
I don't want to comment too much but I certainly didn't mean to give the impression I was congratulating myself over John's departure. I've got the utmost respect for John. |
If it was true, I'd be concerned about it. |
In hindsight it was probably naive of me to make a promise that with commercial realities you can't really keep. But I'm not making any excuses. I made that promise and I regret not being able to keep that promise. |
John has been a great coach for our club, taking us to a premiership and falling only one game short of a second grand final. |
Many of the people commenting were not at the meeting for Craig. He was properly represented by a solicitor and there is also an appeals process in place. |
Obviously I am delighted. As I said before, we love Craig and he's a very important part of our club. Some time over the next couple of days ... Craig and I will sit down. There's still a few issues he and I have to discuss. |
The board has not discussed anything about penalties. We are just going through the process. |
We spoke and decided we didn't need to. We just want to let things settle down. |
