And your thoughts on Bill Comrie?WestCoastJoe wrote:David Braley
Deep pockets, knows football, fantastic owner, saved football in BC, probably saved the CFL. I like how he gives so much to charity also. One criticism: I don't like how he undermined Tom Wright. Braley probably runs the CFL.

Comrie was a good owner, but the marketing wasn't drawing in flies. After the 93 GC win, you would expect a follow up of fans lining up for ST's, but that didn't happen and he saw the futility of carrying on losing money, and ran after the GC haul, asap.WestCoastJoe wrote:Yep I missed Comrie by accident.
He saved the team, brought us Eric Tillman and Dave Ritchie and thus the 1994 Grey Cup.
But then it went downhill. I can't remember what happened. His son is an OK hockey player.
Some new owner came in and down it went. I lost interest after they fired Ritchie.
Back to history class for you .... That would be the '94 Grey Cup win.After the 93 GC win
Figures I would write that, that is the same problem I had in school, knew the answer and put in the wrong one.....sigh. :lol:LFITQ wrote:Back to history class for you .... That would be the '94 Grey Cup win.After the 93 GC win

No, but i wouldn't have a problem with that either but Merv was the player who had the biggest impact on me becoming a Lion fan........isn't that special :lol:LFITQ wrote:That's ok we thought it was Lion24 in respect to Korey Banks! 8) :lol:lion24 wrote:That's OK, I got hand slapped for saying Swervyn Mervyn was out of Fresno State ........and I'm lion24!! :lol: :lol:Rammer wrote:

Glen Suitor was on TSN1040 radio a few weeks ago with Sekeres and Price, and thought Geroy would be a good choice as the next GM of the BC Lions. Interestingly, Neil's name never came up. I don't know, but I don't suspect Geroy has cut his teeth enough in management to take that position. I am not saying he won't ever be ready but the next hire has to be the right one. We have an awful lot riding on this.WestCoastJoe wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2017 9:29 pmTimes change. And a good thing runs its course.
Braley came to depend on Wally more and more. Braley became more and more of an absentee owner. Braley got old, and started to dither on some issues. He got away from hard-headed business evaluations and decisions in some cases. He let the franchise get stale.
I just hope Wally and Braley decide to go with Neil McAvoy taking over as GM. If that happens, and if Neil cleans house and changes the philosophy, that is our best hope IMO. If Neil takes over with Wally as heavily involved overseer, we will see the same old, same old.
Just IMO ...
