The thing that annoys me about this thread is that there are posters who are so anti-Feaster now, but were just happy as hell when he tried to lure Richards here and then offer sheeted ROR. I hate hypocrites, and there are more than a few cropping up in this thread.

If Feaster made the right moves then, then how can he be an idiot now? I can respect someone like Phanuthier and CsInMyBlood, who called him out then, but Vinny01 and Vulcan really need to check their posting history before getting all holier than thou about Feaster's decision making now. Yeah, Feaster made some questionable moves, but he did so under the constraints the owners made him work under. They never wanted a rebuild until he convinced them it was a hopeless cause, and only then did they agree to dump the players that really needed to go. Feaster was caught between a rock and Murray Edwards. It was a no win situation, no matter how much people like to suggest otherwise.
