Nettlefold Quits

[The Fireman]

[SainterK]

Deep...

[Teflon]

Surely we cast the net wider than just Dillon?

His results at Gawks were good but really little highlights outside that - he was purelyFinance Manager at Pies, worked as a finance guy at a funeral parlour before that and has a Deakin MBA...so?

This position is vital to the club....hope net gets cast wider..

[saintbrat]

Is Foiney on tonight? He might have some insights...

wen t out for dinner - did he say anything?

[Verdun66]

I listened to the first hour or so, and he didn't say anything. He was too busy trying to be a comedian. And a poor one at that.

[saintbrat]

The Saints are expected to post a significant loss this year after making an operating profit of $630,000 last year following a loss of $1.5million in 2011.
New president Peter Summers said Nettlefold, who moved into the role of CEO after being a board member for five years, had not been pushed into resigning. "I can absolutely guarantee you the call came from Michael," Summers said.
‘‘He raised the idea with me several weeks ago. We have been going through reviews of the club, some are normal, some are a bit more [pointed] given we are a club in transition, and as part of that he said, 'I am considering where I am at'."

He is hard work, but not as bad as that Andrew Maher bloke. He's a shocker. His voice is like running chalk awkwardly down a blackboard for me.

what I reckon is that al lot of the time the Truth is what it actually is and not a hidden message
at some point you need to believe what people say...

with the saints- if the journo's don't doubt it then supporters will ...

[HitTheBoundary]

In that article the two things that stood out for me were;

"The Saints are expected to post a significant loss this year after making an operating profit of $630,000 last year following a loss of $1.5million in 2011."

"The club remains in a difficult financial situation. It has moved from Moorabbin to Seaford but almost outgrown the new venue immediately and is labouring with a difficult commercial model given the onerous financial deal it has with Etihad Stadium."

Ouch.

[quote="Legendary"]So much conspiracy.

The bloke is worth a packet, has worked his arse off for the club when he had no need to. Yes he's been well rewarded, but so is every CEO in the competition.

He's done 5 years. That's about as much as you actually want from any CEO - and make no mistake, Nettlefold has been great. His one blemish is the Lyon situation. Otherwise I think he's been great for the club. Anyone who has dealt with him behind the scenes should acknowledge that.

Let's hope we find a good replacement.


Agree with this post although still not convinced that the Lyon situation can be laid at his feet.
First of all we need a top level replacement. This position is a critical part to where we go from here and if the possibility presented itself I would go for someone with a respected AFL profile eg Melb's CEO (Jackson) on loan from the AFL.
I still have trouble landing the Lyon predicament with Nettlefold. There is no doubt in my mind he was dudded, along with the Club and along with Lyon's manager at the time Craig Kelly. I think with the speed and manner Lyon's appointment to Freemantle occurred you would need to be a clairvoyant to see it coming in time to do something about it.

Thanks for your efforts and in this environment I agree 5 -6 years is it.
PS I think $750k is around the right salary mark for the right person

So, are you calling Peter Summers, our new President a LIAR? !!

[bobmurray]

Good. I'll do it for $500,000 per year and save the club $250,000. It will be hard making ends meet, especially with all those arduous trips to Europe and the USA to fit in, but service to the club comes first. Next to go should be Pelchen.

Why, are you worried he might improve our 1 flag in 140 years ratio, imagine beating that, yeah, i agree, F*** him off...

[lloyd21]

New President has to start getting stuck into the press shortly.
Tumultuous year for Stkilda is that the heading the best they come up with listing milneys old charge 10 years ago.
and the dwarf incident compared to Essendon having no president no CEO Coach is banned asst coach fined fined
Fitness coach sacked , football manager suspended mystery drugs administered to players .
Adelaide for cheating salary cap suspended from draft , CEO suspended .
Collingwood President racially vilifes an all time great of the game.
Melbourne Coach turns club into basket case , club fined for tanking .Ceo sacked ,Football Manager given contract extension then sacked when they realize AFL not happy.
Brisbane sacks it coach without replacement , Massive player exodus due to club admin issues.

Maybe Ms phelan should consider these as tumultuous when compared to an official leaving after 5 years of service.

[MC Gusto]

I really think for all the positive talk the club is in a bad way. We are in a vicious cycle where we need form to attract members, members to attract sponsors, sponsors to attract players etc We don't have any of these elements and at the moment everything about st kilda is a hard sell

You,re a labor loving surrender monkey.... No thanks

[stinger]

hearing that the dustin martin issue has had some bearing over this decision!

tell us more....

Don't know much more but heads were butted during his attempted recruitment.

The stkilda football club are going all out to bolster their list, some thought the dusty direction was the way to go others thought not!
The right decision has been made and the character of a person is the top criteria in the direction of the club.

thank you for replying, mate....

[joffaboy]

Thank Christ. This admin has been an unmitigated financial disaster. All of the muppets who tracked me for questioning this regimes reckless spending promises can eat their words

Our club is a financial basket case because you lot Demanded Butters and his financially responsible admin be booted

You bunch of economic illiterates have brought this on our club.

We'll you have got what you wanted. Live with it suckers

it's entirely possible that he offed himself because the saints could no longer afford his salary......maybe the same reasons...financial for combining other roles and giving hutchy the flick.......

[Moorabbin Man]

Business Net Asset position grew from $5m to $21m during this term.
Turnover grew from $26m to $41m during the 6 year term.

I know nothing about Terry Dillon, but if he could oversee this sorta' thing again (happened during the six years he was with the skid marks), then I'd say "Come on down Terry."

If someone could come along and channel just a bit of the massively under utilised saints supporter passion, we'll go somewhere....IMO

Nailed it (again) K.

I believe our club actually has a huge fan base, and based on that alone, we should be a league power!!!



Sooooo, K, how's your little man going? A bit older, and hence more independent nowadays?

Maybe you have a bit more time on your hands...?

(That's actually a serious question/suggestion re ST K FC getting in someone to address the 'channelling' shortcomings re club and supporter base.)

This begs the question: who is Sainter K?

[Bernard Shakey]

Thanks for the nine years you've given the club Michael!
