In a week?
I think the key realisation for many is that you can't be a footy director only. You need to bring some sort of expertise for the licensed club's operations - gaming, bars & catering essentially. The majority of the board's time are spent on non-football matters including strategy and governance.
Agree on all counts.
Wow, back to the club after 20 years.
Step in the right direction for you guys. I know Dave personally and he's more experienced and qualified in club management than anyone currently at Panthers, to be completely honest he's probably overqualified to be COO but there might be a succession plan in place and best part of all is he's a Penrith man through and through
I couldn't say but he was at Panthers 20+ years ago as a young fella. From memory he was at Penrith Bowlo for a bit - not sure how long he was at the Dogs.
He was at Canterbury for about 5 years and it's really hard to judge if he was successful or not because the club was undergoing a major renovation during most of his tenure and there was a lot of interference from the football department as well which pretty much pillaged the leagues club for financial support especially at the start of Hasler's tenure. Before that he was very successful as CEO of Wenty Leagues and pretty much saved Gosford RSL from going under. Like I said he's a Penrith man through and through and we used to joke around that even when he was CEO of Canterbury he secretly had his panthers jersey on under his suit.
