Is there this much soap opera in Brasilian football and at Gremio? Is it similar issues or different ones.
The world game doesnt have issues sacking coaches, worldwide, so I aasume it covers different issues for directors and management.

Imagine being a fly on the wall in that household. Of course, flies don't understand the human language so it'd be pretty uninteresting.

You'd hate to be a kid and bring home a poor report card to them, eh? Imagine mum just shitcanning you in the media, while dad convinces Dan Andrews to put you into a strict lockdown.
Poor kid just rocking back and forth while he can hear mums forehead smashing the headboard late at night making noises like a donkey giving birth.

Grêmio, recently, is a different story.
The incompetence has reached a level that we cannot fire the coach. It’s so weird.
If the president, the Board, and the VP of football resigned today, life would go on at the club as if nothing special had happened. If the coach leaves, though, everything would crash down and burn in flames.
The club is in the relegation zone, without a home ground, with its list in shambles, and the leadership looks totally clueless. It’s like 2021 all over again, but worse.

Geez sounds worse than the Port situation as relegation is a possibility.

It's funny you say that - Vasco never really became the powerhouse they once were after relegation. Santos are a shambles too.

We got relegated three times. In 1991 and 2004, the club reemerged stronger than before.
It looked as if it was also the case after 2021. 2023 was great. But it seems that we’ve f*ck*d big time this time.
Our VP of football seems to be an idiot. The president holds him for some reason that only he knows. The coach seems to be the only person who actually do things around.
It happened in the previous administration with the same coach. Apparently, it is easy to simply delegate everything to him.

Sounded like Caro had no real info at all to be honest. She squirmed super hard when Tredrea pressed near the end. She got so defensive. More than likely she just made some shit up that “probably” happened for a headline.
Only difference was she is a seasoned journalist she debated much better.
She’s there to sell papers, a lesson well learnt for Tredrea.

Which club does cardone support?
It wasn't a fair debate because Warren's hamstrung by what he can and can't say. It's not a case of Caro debating 'much better'.
The thing I got from Wilson's comments was that she heard Warren's 'good call' comment and called Richardson.
I still reckon a large part of the Victorian media campaign against the club and its supporters is being run by Hinkley, CD and Hinkley's agents. Hinkley may have his supporters on the board but I doubt they leaked anything in this instance.
On the other hand, Richardson really should have treated Wilson's inquiry with the contempt it deserved.

Brilliant. Someone needs to read that out on air tonight. Warren would love it...
Absolutely agree.
She destroyed her credibility as an independent observer when she spoke at length which as any lawyer/cop interviewing/questioning a person encourages. Simply let the person talk as much as they like which so often provides more detail than they appreciate.

You may or may not be aware of this GP, but back in the early 1990's when Port didn't have a home ground due to a bun fight with the council over Alberton oval and had to play our home games at Adelaide oval we still won the flag.
Imagine the lame excuses for yet another failed season that would be continually rolled out by the current hierarchy given that scenario!

Seems like a nothing story.
Media latched onto something and the board may or may not have been involved.
The board wouldn’t boot Tredders right now unless it wanted a mob at alberton. It would also mean an election at a time of turbulence and poor on field performance. It would also release WGT from his board obligations, well some of them. And would highlight the division. It would risk a huge spill.
If Koch and the board are involved, it may be a part of a long game to paint WGT in a negative way such that they can sell it fans and the public that he is the source of division and get him booted down the track.

Love the story of Tiago Rech!
The lone Brazilian fan who rose to become club president - and led his team to silverware
In 2012, Tiago Rech was the solitary Santa Cruz fan in the away end at Gremio. His club has driven him to joy and despair in the years since

This is absolutely correct.
And the Club have no issue with Warren's comments. This was Caro trying to make a story out of nothing to deflect away from the pressing issues of Ken's imminent demise.
