Should Nettlefold be sacked?
I've had enough of him.
Can't see him moving us forward.
The bloke seems lost and not up to the gig.
Thoughts?

Perhaps it is time !
The way things are going at the club - we may need a CEO as well ?
1.5 million = Loss
Senior Coach = Loss
Fitness manager = Loss
Assistant Coach = Loss
Worst location in AFL = Loss
Gees things are going well down there aren't they Mr NEDDLEFOLD.

+ you can add
Sponsors = Loss
Non renewing members = Loss
The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.

If he goes, other "dominoes" will follow - it would be a big spill.
They will hang on to him, to protect their own Board positions IMO. They will call it "solidarity" in these tough times.
was on the board in early 2000's then left
returned to board not long before Archie left and then was added as CEO

It's all very well to wear the corporate tie, stick out your lantern jaw and spin until you're giddy. All very well to be be paid more than the coach, be paid in fact more than twice what the Prime Minister is paid, but where is the sense of corporate responsibility? Where is the accountability? The honesty to admit mistakes?

Exactly! Staring blankly and repeating unconvincingly "the spirit and intent of the contract is that Ross Lyon will coach in 2012".
Well actually no. A fixed-term contract containing a notice period for its termination prior to the end of the term is not a fixed-term contract at all.
Wait for it though. He'll be announcing a triumph and spinning it in the next few days to equal his triumph of the coaching recruitment panel without a coach. We'll get a kick-back/handout from the AFL for losing squillions by being forced to play at Etihad.
It may even be nearly as much as two years of this dishonest superdud's salary.

ok the cash loss wasnt great but everyone knows the stadium deal at etihad stinks.
he negotiated with ross's management in good faith. a coach going behind his own mgt back is unprecedented in the afl since the manager system. noone could have possibly anticipated that.

and sacking the CEO right now would really help because that would leave us with another vacancy ???
give it a rest .. if the CEO leaves now, no decent coach in the country will even consider coaching us. Like it or not, right now, every coaching candidate will look to our CEO for stability and support.
If you want to overthrow the CEO wait until all the other pieces are in place first.
