John Reid announced on 5AA tonight that he will retire from his role at the Adelaide FC at the end of this season
He has his critics, but for mine well done on 15 years service JR

Yeah congrats, but the timing is right (if not overdue) IMHO ... Best of luck to him in his next adventure(s)

how do you get to be a team manager with an AFL club. Would just about be my dream job. Any way i could be involved with any national comp and be paid to do it would be fantastic.

He certainly did have his critics, but i think he did a fantastic job at the crows. Gives a lot of time to find a suitable replacement as well.

In Reid's case, you get a job in the media, criticise everything the Crows do, and then get offered a job from your mate Sanders to shut you up.

The bloke runs the whole show on his own and is never questioned. Good luck to whoever replaces him, on a hiding to nothing.
Wonder how many Crow fans will actually miss his input?

I hope we can get him back at South, he made South a competitive side whilst he was there and would be exactly what the SAFC needs now in terms of managment to take us to the next level!

So does the majority of the members of the Adelaide Football Club!
Why don't you take him immediately and let the AFC start to move forward. The WWT influence is starting to disappear, not many left to weed out now and make the place truly "a club for all the people", except Port Adelaide's
It has become a bit like SACA, a real "boys club" with jobs for your mates.
