CEO

[ruthless dragon]

This is good news and a movement forward, finally the Dragons are back in control of their own Destiny.
It may go pear shaped but I reckon big changes are afoot and there are more than enough "old boys" who are sick and tired of the poor performances over the last few years.

 

[Objective View]

I don't think I have ever seen a positive statement from you ever.

Sack Mary. That's a positive statement unless you display ill will towards the club.

Straight Shooter

[Objective View]

Seriously, you know everything about everything why don't we appoint you Reactive? 3 yrs 3 wooden spoons? at least it would shut you up.

Unlike Mary, I don't pretend to be a coach.

I reckon I can paint a gym though. Or run the water bottles.

[Objective View]

The only disappointment is your constant REACTIVE whining.

Proactive. I've been saying it for years and subsequent results have proven me correct.

From the article “The Dragons and the partners [WIN] have always placed a high priority on consistency and continuity in governance,” and ‘‘The change of ownership allows us to underpin the amazing heritage of the St George Illawarra Dragons with strong commercial strategy while locking in the pathways for junior players to rise through the ranks of the Steelers to the NRL.’’

I like quote 2, not quote 1 so much. A discontinuity suits me better!

I loved Johnstone as a player and would have preferred him to Doust but that was just bad luck at the time. What I do not like and what worries me most is, as Chairman of the Board, his inability to sack Mary after such terrible results. Instead he supported his extension.

How can the board, Doust or BJ ever sack Mary if they can't even sack themselves.

Communism at work

They sacked Price! WIN will have to discontinue their support of the 'old boys club' because if they don't they are likely to lose money big time. No more Illawarra v St George and no more Millwards v Youngs. Now it is WIN/St George moving up and onwards together for the good of the Club. I say, move the old boys club on and we will cast a heavy load off the shoulders of the Club.

The point is, why bother to start a process to find a replacement if the club never ever intended to appoint an outsider.

I think we would have all preferred to be told from the beginning that:

1) Illawarra would only sell to WIN Corp
2) WIN Corp required Brian Johnston as CEO if it was to invest $10M and not have board control as they believe he is reas

 

[Saint_JimmyG]

I won't be happy with this appointment unless the new CEO does move the coaching staff on and appoints Bennett in their place prior to Nov 1, 2018.

Prepare to be bitterly disappointed.

Last two months have been s#it that's why the concern

 

[Bests Golden Boots]

Why didn't we wait a few weeks to make this decision?
Malcolm Turnbull is looking for a new job, and yeah fine, he thinks rugby league is played with a round ball, but still his business connections would be invaluable.
Instead we now have bloody Cronulla supporter as PM.
Perth Dragons by federal decree is my call.

Oh gods you could be right. He’ll probably annex Wollongong into the shire and have Kogarah condemned.

Now while I'll give credit to Brian Johnstone for showing up in the tunnel and actually talking to fans and copping it on the chin, it's more than Doust and McGregor did.
To me he seemed gutted, but he also seemed to have the look of a bloke who's hands are tied as to what to do about it.

His body language had the look of a bloke who's in charge by name only.

I reckon you're on the money there BGB.
The caravan will just roll on next year regardless.

He's not CEO atm, Doust is until Oct 1. BJ doesn't take the reigns until Nov1
