Overton on the CEO role

[fish eel]

Can't be stuffed typing it all out, cant find it online. Page 9 in the Parra Advertiser.

Interesting grabs

Former Parramatta Leagues Chairman Alan Overton has urged the club not to revisit the big salary of former chief executive officer Denis Fitzgerald in the search for its next boss

You certainly need seperate CEOs...but not at the same level as what Denis travelled at

I think some of these people are overpaid. If things are controlled by the board, there shouldnt be that expense

Without sounding too disrespectful, I read quotes like that and am pleased that we've moved on.

In a nutshell, a bloke who was on the board that employed Fitzy basically says the new board shouldnt pay the CEO what Fitzy was paid because it's overs :?

if you loved us you'd take the time to type it all out for us O

 

[fish eel]

well he was just ONE person on a board of 7, so maybe he got over ruled a bit at times

I know a lot of people on this board like this bloke and fair enough on a personal level he seems like he would be a very nice and approachable bloke...but fair fu*king dinkum what the...thank fu*kin Jesus we have moved on. Talk about hypocrisy and inept stupidity all rolled up into one.

I cannot believe this guy was such an important part of our board for so long!!!!!

May have been a great guy but f*ck he and the others were inept for a VERY long time!!!!

and people voted for Overton to be re-elected, lol, i wonder who did....but hey, he's a nice bloke and all..

 

[spiderdan]

geez ease up on the guy. listening to the bloke talk at ome of the meetings the former 3p group organised early in the year i got the impression that his voice got drowned out by the old board on a number of matters to improve the club.

exactly

the guy is as passionate about the parramatta club as anyone and has put a f'n sh*tload of effort into the club .... yet every f'n know-it-all keyboard jockey on this forum lines up for a shot at him ... yes he's made mistakes, but he was one man on a 7 man board, he can't control everything .... yes its great we have some new blood running things with new ideas - in 20 yrs time I'm sure the new board members, if they are still around, will have made their fair share of mistakes also

If he was that good he would've been re-elected, and apparently at the elections the guy couldn't even string a word together, some viewed his speech as just 'embarrasing'.

He was way past it, yes he may have done well in the past, but to fitzys credit he too also done some good stuff in the past, both should've gone a while ago, and it was embarrasing that many wanted to re-elect him.

As for the keyboard jockey comment, not like you haven't stated your views more then once in relation to players - one particulary, everyone is entitled to opinion, and everyone expresses them, if you don't like it place me on ignore, couldn't care.

which one is that ron? - the one you obsess over? - the one you think the whole world is against cos it makes you feel important to be head of his cheer club? .... fmd - get over it ffs - 99.99% of this forum think jarryd is our best player and have done for some time - quit the "I love jarryd and no one else does" charade

seriously - everyone is a f'n know-it-all expert on here .... fact of the matter is we don't know sh*t about the day to day running of the club

YES - i am happy that ovo and co have had their time and moved on and we have some new energy around the place - but ppl like ovo kept this club ticking through the good times and the bad

Why should I, after all the sh*t the bloke copped...why should i just let it slide...Inu has rarley got a mention.

And i didn't even say it was Jarryd;-)

Fine, i've never said that they haven't helped the club, or weren't beneficial to our club at a time but it was as obvious that he and many of the others needed to be replaced, alan coming out and now stating salaries etc just proves that.

Never said we did, but just look at the projects, retention and recrtutment...it isn't rocket science, and doesn't require to read the fine print, it was obvious to 99.9% that the job wasn't getting done.

 

[bartman]

From the grabs of the article that Fishy typed out... I actually agree with everything Ovo said there.

It does beg the question why the previous Board let things get away from them - in particular where he says "if things are controlled by the Board"? We can of course wonder why the tail was wagging the dog at all, but it's just good we've moved on from that situation.

Now, does anyone (other than Zappia) want to be one of our club's split CEOs? :lol:

1. Inu is the forum whipping boy
2. nah, as if you didn't mean jarryd
3. what the f**k do the board have to do with retention and recruitment ... if that is their role then f**k me, why do we bother with coaches and football managers

 

[Suitman]

I actually think think that Ovo made his mark as a nice guy, and nothing else.

Sad really, and one of the reasons why we have been held back for so long.
Nice guys don't cut it.
Sorry, but Ovo never struck me as a go get 'em guy. And he wasn't. He also wasn't thought of that by most of the FC voters and the LC voters.
People can defend him all they like, but Roy, as Chairman, has done more in a month than I've seen Alan do in 10 years.
Harsh, but true.

seriously, we don't even know what goes on behind the scenes .... as if any of the board's operations are known to us over most of the however many years he's been on the board

I understand that.
But Roy is Chairman.

FFS, Ovo was chairman.
I can't remember the last time we had a press release from Ovo.
Seriously, he was under the trance from Chairman Fitzgerald.
We even saw ourselves his negative vibes when being questioned about decisions the club has made.
Sorry, but as nice a guy as Ovo is, he was a puppet.

[Stagger eel]

I'm actualy looking at this differently to everyone else..

for many years Alan and the board were very restricted in decisions made about football matters as Fitzy decided that in most cases he didn't need their input, Dennis is a shrewd operator and control freak..plain and simple, he would never seek the board for approval he would sign, consult and recommend it, then ask questions later, that was the way he operated.

Now having said all that while Alan made the comment he did, has anyone actually considered with Ovo himself had support of his own board? has it ever occoured to anyone that maybe in a board room envioronment, he was severely outnumbered on many issues? and if Alan is as bad a chairman as he was why the hell would Roy Spagnolo waste about 1 hour of his time at the last home game in deep conversation witth him about football matters???

Alan has proved to me what i always suspected, that he himself never had support of his board and that the CEO was a control freak.
