During your time at the club Archie, you have made many contributions, and your promotion to head of the A-League is certainly a well-earned one!
Mr.Legendary
Some facts because you are a little misguided.
1) Anyone can oversee significant changes because one thing in life that is certain is change. He had nothing to do with the coach being removed, nothing to do with a new board coming in, and most of the staff that worked with him have left because of him.
2) Sponsorship may be up due to Jeldwen's involvement, but I can aaure you in his time at the club he did not bring in one cent of revenue in terms of a corporate sponsorship. Ask Archie
3) The training base is not his initiative or doing. He is merely following board directions.
4) Wow, he booked a demolition team, he probably got someone else to do that for him.
5) So do you honestly think he had anything to do with direction on getting rookies or players from Ireland? Purely a footy department decision.
6) Sandringham alignment is also a footy department decision.
His Real Achievements
* Has left the club with no strategic plan for the future from his perspective
* Did not raise any money in corporate sponsorship
* Burnt many staff members
* In 2007 & 2008 in boom economic times delivered a substantial loss to the board after forecasting significant profits.
GOOD RIDDANCE!
