RICHMOND and Terry Wallace are believed to have parted ways after a series of meetings yesterday and last night.

It is believed the players were upset about Wallace's post-match critique of the team after Sunday's loss to Port Adelaide.

Wallace did not return calls from the Herald Sun last night.

Players yesterday, led by captain Chris Newman, spoke to Wallace about the closed-doors post-match address and it's understood Wallace has walked from the job, believing the players had lost faith in him.

The veteran coach was not immediately available for comment, failing even to return calls from close friends last night and this morning.

Has the right decision been made? Have your say below.

Wallace has been under enormous pressure since an embarrassing loss to Carlton in Rd 1 and his team is languishing in 15th position with just one win.

Wallace did not arrive at the club's Punt Rd headquarters today by his usual time of 8.30am.

Richmond assistant coaches David King, Craig McRae, Wayne Campbell and Jade Rawlings arrived at Punt Rd this morning unaware any decision on the head coach had been made.

Players spoken to by the Herald Sun were also not aware of any developments.

President Gary March also did not return calls this morning.

Wallace is in the fifth your of a five-year contract and was no chance to coach the team in 2010.

It is known that Wallace met with Richmond chief executive Steven Wright late last night.

Wallace only last week went on radio and declared he wanted to coach out the year.

In the same interview he said he would not put up a fight if the club decided to end his tenure early.
Richmond president Gary March, Wallace and Wallace's closet football friend, Brian Royal, were not answering their phones this morning.

The club is due to train at its Punt Rd home at 11am.

Richmond have confirmed that Terry Wallace will remain coach of the Tigers, denying earlier reports which claimed he was parting ways with the club.

Wallace and the club were reported earlier on Tuesday to have parted ways in the wake of the three-point loss to Port Adelaide on Sunday, their seventh defeat in eight AFL matches this year.

Tigers football manager Craig Cameron denied the club had sacked and then reinstated Wallace, saying at no time was Wallace not the coach of the football club.

"There was no point in time when Terry wasn't the coach of Richmond," Cameron said.

Captain Chris Newman also denied players were unhappy with Wallace following the Port Adelaide loss, saying both the coach and players were upset.

Newman claimed players had never told the Richmond board they had lost faith in their coach.

An open and frank meeting was held on Tuesday morning between Wallace, Newman, Cameron and president Gary March. Both Cameron and Newman refused to outline the specifics of the meeting during an address to the media.

Wallace has previously admitted he would be out of a job this season if he did not coach the Tigers into the finals in the fifth and final year of his current contract.

The Tigers are 15th and seemingly out of contention to play in the finals.

But Newman said he and the rest of the players expected Wallace to be coaching for the rest of the season and beyond.

“The players do,” he said.

“The players can't think about Terry's future, the players have got a job to do and all we can focus on this week is the Essendon footy club.”

Richmond host Essendon on Saturday night at the MCG.
