New CEO

[Buckets]

I'm wondering if the AA news was a red herring?

Maybe they were trying to flush out the leaker....

My thoughts exactly. Maybe they are sick of the leaks are getting out and so therefore want to cut the source out ASAP.

Post of the day!



PS: It's still February, so this March thing is surely a joke... how many Richmond-style dud five year plans would he bring with him? A definite 'no way' from me!

Yep! mine too. It would be the perfect opportunity and agree the leaking looks unprofessional but then again it could also be a ploy to push poll the potential candidates...

[stinger]

Now I am led to believe that it will not be Adrian Anderson as CEO.
There is a strong rumour that Gary March ex Rich pres is the man.
That is only a rumour however.

should you be saying this on an open forum, finey......

[stinger]

Finey "broke" the news on SEN dis afternoon. Excellent result..

been reading this site again has he??????....moron...

i was right......again...

[stinger]

Far bit of guess work going on. Or more leaking.

Hope the new CEO, whoever the frick he is, can plug these leaks because this sort of speculation from someone who everyone seems to take as face value as 'being in the know', is unprofessional and symptomatic of previous dealings on the coach.

Looks poor in my opinion.

...for once i have to agree with you, mr 33 1/3 % man.....

+1.................. if anyone had any loyalty to the Saints and not wanting Saints to look a shambles in the way the Board conducts its business, why would one leak such info on an internet site?

[ctqs]

Wasn't Greg Swann meant to be the one a few weeks back? This shotgun approach to breaking news is very, very ordinary. I've got a tip for a few people. If you have to choose between being first and being accurate, be accurate.

Clearly the club is still a mess.

Maybe AD wanted AA to be our CEO but it didn't come off.

If no one can run our club properly then the AFL will ala Melbourne.

Sounds like we need a plumber, more than a CEO.

Sheedy the new CEO?

[Eastern]

At the AGM Peter Summers suggested that we were at the "pointy end" of the process. I guess we'll all know when it is announced (I suspect this will be sooner rather than later) !!

glad to see you posting 66 - 99.......god that was 15 years ago......

[Maklom]

AA was hopeless at the AFL, I don't want him in my club. Then again our board is half hopeless anyway so he could fit right in!

[SainterK]

The guy scrambled when the EFC drugs scandal began to surface....

[oh when the]

They also indicated some time back we would have a new sponsor -- still waiting.

AA may have scrambled because he wanted a different direction be taken.

Drug scandal? Thought it was just a governance issue.

[Con Gorozidis]

So can we stick to facts ?

1. Are we getting a new CEO before the season starts or at all ?
2 . Is the Gary March rumour legit or total bs?

Welcome back old fella. Nice to see you have been practicing your fishing in your enforced absence. How quick did that week go?

As for my post, it's almost a comedy routine. The known candidates/leaks of Swann, Anderson, GrumpyOne & now March. Not overly endowed with willing candidates are we? Anyone remember the last time we had to talk someone into taking a major job at the club? Mr Blight anyone? How well did that turn out? I hope we find the right candidate who is WILLING and not ENTICED into the job.

[saintspremiers]

SEN makes an excellent point.

But if the AFL are controlling the process somewhat it may help

Good point however there is a strong smell of the board not rushing this one coupled with a shortage of good candidates.

[SENsei]

It could be worse. Our President/CEO/List Manager/Coaching Director/Boot Studder could be Paul Little.

Another simple question - have we even advertised the position?

For instance has an ad been placed in a Friday AFR?

If not it proves we aren't actually looking.

[magnifisaint]

Not true at all. The advertising could be done via a recruitment agenceny, the applicant could be headhunted or the guys on the board would have plenty of contacts and no reason why they couldn't do it via expression of interest.
