Basically, our brilliant prez amd board have hired our new CEO without even discussing remuneration...
Well that sure is a great way to run a business.

By the way, I'd do it for half what Arch was getting paid...And by god the AFL would hate me.

I hope your right, but my question is why is Westaway making comments that make st kilda look foolish?Beno88 wrote:Westaway isn't an idiot, he is a very smart businessman and he would know that discussing employees renumeration in a public forum is not smart. As if Westaway and Nettlefold wouldn't have discussed his salary....
"Salary hasn't even been discussed," Westaway told the Herald Sun last night.
"We certainly don't expect him to be paid peanuts; it just hasn't been discussed at all.
"Actually, it's remiss of us."
Yes, "remiss" would seem to be an appropriate word.
"It might look a bit hasty from the outside, but it wasn't," Westaway said.

Oh dear!
Then when Archie leaves, the first cab that comes along is hailed down.
Perhaps Nettlefold is a great appointment, I don't know either way, but to appoint him without even discussing his salary is fair dinkum unbelievable.
Westaway says " Actually it's remiss of us"
"It might look a bit hasty from the outside, but it wasn't"
On something so important as a relocation, I already know for a fact that the Belvedere Park decision was pushed through because the board felt like it needed to make a quick decision!
So why should the appointment of a new CEO be viewed as anything but hasty, when his salary has not even been discussed!
It's very easy to see how a smooth talker like Archie Fraser could convince the board to do just about anything!
Westaway read from a prepared speech at the AGM and when left to his own devices, in my view, he came across as anything but in charge!
I suppose we know why he is usually so quiet!
"Actually it's remiss of us"
YOU BETCHA!
What a reactionary statement that is. If the article wasn't bad enough, why have we come out and given Sheahan the assurance that he was right on the mark?? Seems a bit hot headed to be saying that immediately after Greg was screwed in the hun.saintlee wrote:Statement on saints.com.au regarding salary:
"The salary, which was always going to be within the 2009 budget and reflect the previous CEO salary, has now been finalised and agreed with Michael and the Club. The total remuneration is within the 'average' bracket of all AFL CEO remuneration packages."

No if it was Telstra or BHP he would get around 3-4 mil base plus huge bonuses!!! Plus another 20mill golden handshake when he resigns!!!!!!FFS they only run a business with (in our case) around $22 million turnover, it's not farking Telstra or BHP we are talking about.
