Re: New President
Thanks for the info BS.
I have mixed feelings.
When the chips are down and there's no more wriggle room you go for the proven performer.
That's why I had hoped Jim Watts would get the gig again.
However, if we are to succeed in the new world we need to be inventive. Not dwell on the past as we are prone to do.
Bassat with a proven business acumen and passion may just be the right fit.
Let's hope it's right.

Re: New President
Good move. Was going to happen anyway eventually.
Now we just need Lethers as the new CEO.

No chance of that happening. That useful idiot is still 'needed' in Cantberra.

Well those "close to the club" have been doing a poor job for a while now and so I do not value their opinion. If they think FF was a success then it is no wonder they are content to just drift along while the club sinks.
And also please not confuse performance when a player with performance as a board member.
Our board as a whole have been mediocre, and Summers and Thommo should not be the only changes.

Re: New President
I can do without a lecture and I'm not confused about anything at the moment.
Certainly not about his standing with the club and the Board.
The Saints played off for three flags under Andrew's watch.

Re: New President
There seems to have been some confusion.
EMPTY asked the founder of SEEK (Bassat) to find him a better job.
EMPTY thought he would get to be PRESIDENT if he got 43 names on a petition and so stood down as Prime Minister.
You all know how EMPTY is a republican.
He stood down because he is desperate to implement his own policies without anyone else interfering.
It turns out EMPTY did not realise the job was President of St Kilda FC.
EMPTY has rejected the job as beneath his dignity and Lucy was unhappy at the prospect of leaving the harbourside mansion and The Lodge.
EMPTY will soon be unemployed.

Re: New President
3? Played in 3 GF's but were only competing for two flags.
Sorry but the GF appearances had little to do with the Westaway Board. The hard yards were done prior to their arrival.
Andrew's and FF's Watch was pretty much exactly that, they just watched and failed to build on what was there when they arrived.
Those GF appearances should have set the club up in a more robust state. Instead we have seen ballooning debt, and one mistake after the other offield and on.
Quite arguably the FF Board was the worst StKilda Board ever, and we have had some shockers.

Re: New President
Fair call there, Saynta. We've seen threads on this forum degenerate all too often in the past when people spouted off about their opinions on political football, rather than just plain old football. I couldn't resist my Peter Dutton comment as our club was in the midst of a leadership change at the same time as the one in Canberra.saynta wrote: ↑Sat 25 Aug 2018 3:44pmFooty forum dave .
