Rumoured Signings and General Dribble XIII

Name me one company of the top 100 Aussie companies that has a footy player as CEO

Garlo's Pies.

...and if they are not in the top 100 then they f**king should be.

Why does a CEO need "football experience"?

That could read as "they were never a footy player". Are the list of CEO candidates limited to footy players only.... I hope not.

If we get a savvy businessman who loves league and our club, then I'm thinking we're in good shape.

I never said we need a footy player, but someone who has had some sort of background in RL would be nice. There are candidates out there, Quayle,May,Parr even Hill who have plenty of experience in running RL clubs. Look at the shape our club is in???

If the club was running smoothly and in great shape it wouldn't be as vital iMO but we are the laughing stock of the league ATM, we need someone who won't be bullied by the board and happy to tell them to stay out of it if need be, from what i have heard this will not be the case.

I'm with OMC on this one. Managerial / financial experience / conflict resolution skills are the key requirements here. A good CEO knows when to seek expert advice and from whom to seek it. If we restrict our options to those with football CEO experience we are excluding most of the best talent out there.

True, but so is going with friends of the board......

 

[Gary Gutful]

Pie jokes aside I also agree with OMC. Problem is that a lot of the talented execs and CEOs probably have aspirations of doing something a little more fulfilling than running a shitty football club.

Maybe, but the fact that we (apparently) have selected one doesn't automatically mean that we didn't consider people outside that set. Depends who it is. Obviously, someone without baggage would be preferable....but thus far we are relying on hearsay of hearsay.

If the board is going with the old jobs for the boys approach then it will fail, again. I truely hope they have got the best person available.

I truly hope my mail is wrong but from what i hear it is another job for the boys, have a look at the interim CEO of the Leagues club and who he is affiliated with. The more things change the more they stay the same. It doesn't matter who the CEO or coach is if the club is run by boards who continue to push their own bullshit agenda's that aren't in the best interest of the club. Well you don't even have to be on the board to do this :roll:

In a country with around 21 million there would be plenty of worthy candidates (from many fields) that would have more then enough experience / qualifications and would be happy to run a footy club earning around I am guessing $400-800k per year.

Any chance of sharing names?

I believe David Brent is available.

 

[Stagger eel]

Is it David Brent?

 

[Twizzle]

ex footballers aren't really known for their management skills, look at our board

 

[Stagger eel]

It's not an ex footballer

 

[whall15]

Is it David Brent?

Nah the board thought that the new CEO needed American experience so they went for an up-and-comer, Dwight K. Schrute.

 

[El Diablo]

hasn't been announced and people are already whinging :crazy:

I'm not whinging but there would of been better candidates out there, however I completely understand why the appointment was made

 

[Avenger]

Is it Zappia?

 

[Stagger eel]

No... Not Zapps but I have had a convo with someone who believes he could be the next Greenberg same type of manager
