Rumours and Stuff

[Delboy]

Isn't this the job description of the administrator to restructure the club and streamline operations for the benefit of the team and club going forward

The media will spin it and fans will believe the sky is falling in

 

[emjaycee]

Sorry Bart but are you serious? Do you look for "chicken little sky is falling shit" in everything that happens?

One implication is that Chedid was paid an executive level salary to be the CEO of the Premiership Club which met none of its objectives and has no doubt been shut down. Let's save $300k by releasing the CEO and his EA from a redundant part of the company.

Another implication is that the media team has been unable to meet the objectives of their manager and he decided to restructure his team and bring in a new lot of people with the experience and skills that he wants in his team.

But no, let's spin it that maybe some back office redundancies are a trigger for BA to exit his contract early.

I hadn't seen the article above when I posted this and looks like I was on the money with the Chedid departure.

Oh and for the record, Craig Beed was appointed to the COO role without any external recruitment process by former COO and CEO John Boulous.

I think the bad news is that we still don't know where we sit with the cap so can't come up with a plan... Well that's the only negative from his interview that just aired

 

[hybrideel]

Someone send an ambulance to Barts place after BA's comments

 

[Bazal]

BA talked about Tommy Turbo and how good he is, says we haven't got clarity on our cap position, said he'd love to have Hayne at the club if Hayne decides to come to the NRL.

Importantly, said we're in a "position to recruit"

Nothing else yet but I'm only flicking over.

 

[emjaycee]

That was it?
Wow - beat up.

It's funny how the club blew money on their legal case against the NRL. Hundreds of thousands wasted on absolute legal bullshit from the previous management money which could've possibly saved jobs. Then you think about the other half million wasted On the USA junket. That's a million dollars right there down recklessly. Thank god the f**kwits a re gone.

I feel sorry the kids in the media dept that got the sack. It could've been avoided.

 

[ash411]

Is that it? fmd if that's all it is I'm gonna be a) relieved that it wasn't actually bad and b) pissed I got roped into watching this shit show.

Maybe not Jake, might not be about money at all.

Those are on off costs. Ongoing costs are the real budget killer. That's why employees have been sacked.

Redundancies are always about the $$$$

I stand by my claim that the job losses in the media department will be replaced with other roles more suited to what the Head of Communications and Brand wants, therefore there will not be significant cost savings in that area directly.

Bullshit.
How many companies have you managed a restructure process that resulted in redundancies in?

Our media posture is obviously of massive importance. The people we've had in those roles have seemed like they were doing an assignment for uni.

I've been in one. It's not always directly related to money. It's more about efficiency than just saving money, also some times it's about cutting loose some dead wood, or wanting to take the company in a different direction that maybe the current employees aren't right for.

Which may be why they will be replaced.

I have been in 1 and been responsible for planning, designing and implementing at least 3 or 4 in both small companies and in large companies (more than 5000 employees). In only one of the 4 was it about $$.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I've been sacked from about a dozen jobs and I'm certain none of them were about money.

Yeah well argumentative, short and ugly little Indian fella's never last in Call Centres mate.

If the customers would stop f**king arguing when they're wrong maybe I wouldn't be forced to abuse them.
