New ARLC CEO Discussion

[whall15]

I know there is already a thread on this but I thought a poll would help.

Personally, I think we should be ambitious and go after a confident, ambitious, highly competent, highly qualified CEO with fresh ideas and a fresh outlook.

Ie. the antithesis of David Gallop.

I like other. He brings a lot of experience.

Stephen Kearney

Someone from outside the game.

The problem with that though, is the TV contract renewals. He would need to get up to scratch pretty quickly with the running of the game.

Actually the more I think about it the timing of Galllops departure is all wrong.

they just hired a mob to negotiate that deal plus their is a panel of 4 or 5 CEO's doing work on it

Here's a few names I'd like to put forward...... Benny 'Door' Elias, John 'The Undertaker' Elias, Khoder Nasser, Jeff Fenech, Julian 'Poo in the shoe' O'neil, Ray 'Bolts' Hadley, Trevor 'The Axe' Gilmeister, Terry 'The Fisherman' Hill, Andrew 'The philanderer' Etinghausen, Kevin Hardwick and Mad Ronny Gibbs.

The negotiations will just go on as they have been.

There's no conspiracy theory here.

This was all set up as a potential golden handshake as nobody exactly knew how the CEO & Commission arrangement would work out.

Clearly Grant & Gallop have different styles. I for one hope though that they've got a very short list of successors already lined up.

The best case scenario.............

The worst case scenario:

The half-way-in-between compromise..............

Not necessarily. It's quite easy to explain the NRL's current situation to any foreign sports executive:

'Currently the dominant sporting competition in Australia's first and third most populated states, but second nationally. Your challenge (should you choose to accept it) is to make RL #1 all the while strengthening its base and expanding the game to new regions to maximise revenue. However, you'll have to overcome years of infighting and a main competitor in the AFL which is the darling of all levels of government and headed by one of the most cunning and formidable sporting administrators in the country.'

However, if you do want to go Australian but not Greenberg then you have to go outside RL circles. Maybe someone like James Sutherland?

frankly, I reckon an international exec would liken the objective of developing grassroots football as Sol Trujulio likened Telstra's regulated requirement to maintain unprofitable services.

international leagues are moving towards competition administration as the sole objective, unlike Australia where the competition administrator and governing body is still inexplicably linked.

I think it's also important that the traditions of the game are respected as well as business objective.

Look, Gus is too busy for the job.

Oh thank goodness for that, I was certain he was nominating Rothfield for a moment there.

 

[andrew057]

Another vote for Greenburg.

 

[hutch]

although a bit contradictory, i would like the nrl ceo to be someone who realises that rugby league is a lot bigger than the nrl! somebody with a vision, both nationally and internationally. the international side of our sport has the most potential to grow and the nrl needs to work towards this!

 

[Loudstrat]

This has come as a massive shock. One can only wonder what happened, considering 4 months ago that ARLC signed Gallop up without calling for nominees and having a transparent process.

But if it's John Quayle, that to me would be a massive confirmation of the integrity, loyalty to the code, and sheer balls of the ARLC. The way News vetoed him was corrupt and shambolic.

Whoever they pick, it has to be a League man, not some overhyped numpty whith no chance of grasping all the nuances of the game and it's inner workings that only a League person would understand. Another David Moffat would be f*cking woeful.

And whoever the twats are rating Dimitriou as a good choice - delete your posts quick, because that is hard evidence that you should be locked up forever in a mental asylum!!!!!!!!!!

Phil Gould.

The end

Bring in fans from other sports... check.

Make the game women friendly... check.

Might finally get Cronulla that premiership...

 

[Boganater]

John Ibrahim, in all seriousness someone like Mark Bouris would be good.

 

[beads6]

John Ribot.

 

[PaulyTom]

Mal Meninga should have a go. A visionary that could take the game to the next level.
