To save them some time if they sack Price then they will not need to reply to 99% of their emails.
I work in Project Management for an IT Services Company. If several of my customers called/faxed/e-mailed me with a complaint about one of my engineers who wasn't performing to standard, would I:
1. Reply to each e-mail individually with a spin doctored answer about how we plan to improve and move forward under the current arrangement?
i.e. Price has the team he wants through great recruitment last off season. Let's keep trust in the Price system of "Dragons Footy" and we'll end up having a great outcome.
2. Simply remove the under performing engineer from the projects at risk, and replace him/her with a more suitably competent resource, thus improving our chances of delivering the project on time, too an acceptable standard, without the cost margin blowing out too much as a result of previous delays, and also providing a greater Total Customer Experience?
i.e. Remove the risk by sacking Price, replace him with an interim who has runs on board, give ourselves a shot at still making the eight or at the very least having a better second half of the season (its far from over), getting the members and fans coming back through the turnstiles again, thus also improving the financial position of the club this year through gate takings and TV money as a result of playing in the finals.
I know what I'd be doing if I were in Dousty's shoes right now.
