And the former World Champion co-driver says he’s going to rule the team with an iron fist, according to a report in UK magazine Autosport.
"This is about clear leadership and a demonstrable plan enforced from the top down," Richards said on autosport.com. "Everybody, and I mean everybody, will comply with this plan."
It is believe that Petter Solberg and the team are not happy with each other, but the Norwegian will remain at Subaru next year as he has no chance of joining either Ford or Citroen in 2008.
Richards added: "I'm not having anybody in this team with individual agendas. If that means I have to get in there and bang heads together then I'll do just that.
"I will be very, very forceful in this. I don't care about breaking a few eggs."
Subaru have not won a World Rally Championship event for two years.
